[RELEASE] Simple BDO Private Launcher

[vileninja]

I figured it out it was a miss edit when removing the server ip and port area of the code etc

How did you make it work? Can you bypass xigncode after replacing XC? Will you be kicked off the line?

Sorry friend this is just a launcher for the already cracked client. All this does is pass your username/pass to the executable and also sets up the server of your choice by ip/port. Nothing as fancy as replacing XC or bypassing xigncode, i think that's all done by the client.

as @The Jakal said. All i did was remove the section to type in your ip and port and hard coded the ip and port into the launcher manually.

@The Jakal Is there any way you can code a auto updater into the launcher?

nice work!

I found two issues that most launchers have. On form1.cs line #87:

sw.WriteLine("start BlackDesert64.exe" + " " + textBoxUserName.Text + ", " + textBox_Password.Text);

There should be no space at the beginning of the password. By doing that and having the auto-registration enabled in the server, you're basically adding an empty space at the beginning of all passwords.

Secondly, by default Black Desert Online uses the combination of email + password for authentication, not username + password. By using username + password in the launchers and having auto-registration enabled in the server, the accounts are created with no email address. Instead the auto-registration sets the account username where the email address should be.

Here's a tip for you guys that want to do this in a clearer way using string interpolation (C# 6.0 or later):

Where you have :

sw.WriteLine("start BlackDesert64.exe" + " " + textBoxUserName.Text + "," + textBox_Password.Text);

you can use string interpolation to make it a little more readable :

sw.WriteLine($"start BlackDesert64.exe {textBoxUserName.Text},{textBox_Password.Text}");

None of that messy concatenation. You get a better idea exactly where spaces/punctuation/etc and the data you are putting out are.

select the picture box in the designer view and click the little arrow in the top left of the picture box, then click "choose image..." then you can import any picture.

Hope that helps

Hello !

Would it be possible to make a quick edit to your launcher, so that he can read an account name that is not an email adress ?
Thank you !

Yes you can do that, open the source code and in the file Form1.cs look for this line

CheckIsEmail();

now simply comment it out like

//CheckIsEmail();

compile and you should be good to go
now the launcher wont check if the user name is an email

Thank you !
I'll see that, I tried to compile the source already but it throws error messages when opening the project and when trying to compile it.
I'll try again.

[The Jakal]

OK so here is the newest version of the launcher (now includes a checkbox for whether your username has to be an email or not (default true))
