RaiderZ Launcher v6 (Checks ID/Pass) / PHP Register/ Auto-update/ MD5 Check/ Online
Update 4: Player count added
Launcher v6 has player count. it gets how many players are online. For the launcher to run error free you must edit all the .ini to its correct settings.
Update 3: MD5 Check added
i just realized that there was an error in v4 release so here is the fix, and a new addition to the program is MD5 check the launcher will now check the MD5 on the Raiderz.exe before running it. if MD5 is different the launcher will not launch the game.
Update 2: Auto-update added
Launcher v4 is now released whats new? auto-update function. the launcher will detect if a new update is out if there is then it will download it then unpack the update file into the client folder. if you do not update then the launcher will not allow you to play. Also edited the launcher's designs.
How-to use Auto-Update:
in launcher.ini edit where
Patch =
change it to where your patch files will be hosted example:
Patch =
the launcher will grab the update1.rar from the patches folder.
now edit where
patchlink =
make a new ver.txt open it in notepad and put in number 1 this file will tell your launcher to update. now put a working link to your ver.txt
patchlink =
this is how it works launcher runs download ver.txt from
if ver.txt has the number 3 in it and launcher version is 1 (cver.txt) then it will grab update1.rar, and update2.rar and then update cver.txt to 3 after downloading update1, update2.rar it will then extract and overwrite in client folder.
The launcher will only grab the files update1.rar and up example you set ver.txt to 100 then it will grab update99.rar
Making patch files:
say you want to replace the Raiderz.exe in the client folder, and the Data folder inside the Raiderz folder then pack Raiderz.exe, and Data folder together in a .rar format you can pack it. pack the files like you would normally do, but do not set a password or the launcher will not be able to unpack it into the client folder. rename the .rar to Update1.rar set ver.txt to 2 if cver.txt is 1 then it will download and unpack into the client folder.
How to set-up the launcher:
First download TCPView this will be used to identify the ports that your MSSQL is using.
Download, extract, run now search for the process sqlserver if it is not running then start > all programs > Microsoft SQL 2008 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager and start it from there. once u find sqlserver look at its local port copy it down. now open sql.ini and replace SQLPort = 51844 replace it with yours.
SQLHost = 192.168.1.2
replace this with your WAN IP.
Driver = SQL Server
leave this alone unless you are using SQL Native client then change it to its exact name
NetworkLib = DBMSSOCN
leave this alone its for networking. connecting to your database.
and the rest should be easy enough.
The launcher is like any normal launcher. It checks news, register etc.
when you click the start game button it will connect using ODBC to the host's MSSQL and check the table where USER_ID is and check if the password for that account matches if it does then it will run the game using kyhoh's method if not it will return the message box wrong id or pass and will not run the game. if there are any bugs/errors report it here. The download included the source so you can edit the launcher to how ever you like or even make it better.
Instructions:
1) Install the libraries first. if you don't you might get an error when trying to run it.
2) Setup the .ini files (launcher.ini, sql.ini, sqlpath.ini)
the sql.ini and sqlpath.ini is for those who don't have VB6 you can edit your launcher without the need of VB6, but it is unsafe since your SQLPass and etc will be viewable.
For ppl who have VB6:
Open up Project1.vbp double click form1 press CTRL + F search for "command1_click()" now look at the howto.jpg picture replace the highlighted text with your SQL settings and save, Make RaiderZLauncher.exe.
now all your SQL settings are compiled into the new RaiderZLauncher.exe you will not be needing sql.ini you can delete it or if you get an error leave a blank sql.ini

for those who wants to change the icon of the launcher, and don't have VB6 use ResHack. it allows you to open a .exe program and replace its icon with a different one.
