1. would gladly done that but i got no clue how to store and get settings from xml or ini file, the bat is the best solution i could come up with instead of learning you all how to code in realbasic XD
2. why? this server status sends a packet on like 32 bytes then it closes the sending and determine the status from the answer of that packet. (i would like to know a reason you want this :P)
3. i thought about that too but its not possible, i am having an idea on a different solution tho (working on it right now)
4. too much work atm but i will do the spanish one since you already pmed me the translation lol (i rather release source so people can translate it self in realbasic)

read from ini:

PHP Code:

---

Dim File = IO.File.ReadAllLines("./data/launcher/Configuration.txt")
        'Load Settings From Ini File
        '
        'Load Form Name From Ini:
        Const Name = "LML_Launcher_Name="
        Dim FormName = (From line In File Where line.StartsWith(Name)).First.Substring(Name.Length)

now it will require me to do a full rewrite of the launcher XD
i think i will stay with registry for now

btw
Graphics Mode coming but not sure when -.-

i have a feeling this will take some time to code lol atm all this stuff does nothing XD

good luck with your project!!!

the next release will take some time to code because i need to write over 137 functions and put them on load and on sevral places
but when its done you will get a launcher you can change the design on self

that graphics mode panel is just how you will change the launcher design
also when you change something in it
the launcher will change right away if graphics mode is enabled, so no restarting apps here ;) i still remember how long time you could use on 1 launcher with skyteam launcher builder as you had to rebuild for every change

i am also going to try make the launcher be able to export the skin into a .bat file that other people can run to "install" the skins from other people (you still need to have the images in the same folder as the .bat

because of the amount of code that will be added to the launcher, its exe size will increase
i will make sure performance of the launcher stays the same

*more info on graphics mode
in graphics mode the user can design the launcher as much as possible, my credits will also be removed in graphics mode(will stay in more options).
you will be able to change size of buttons+checkboxes and you will be able to change their placement as well as giving them your own graphics(window frame will stay because of some bug when i remove it in graphic mode)
all buttons and checkboxes support transparency, but the background image doesnt(because it will just show the gray color of the window instead)

graphics mode will not contain any text except on the window frame, so all texts have to be on the images

here is a suggested setup on the images
*background (no text)
*buttons (contains button text)
*checkboxes (contains the text for the checkbox)

images needed for the skins
*background
*buttons(normal, not pushed down)
*buttons(pushed down)
*checkboxes(1 for each function, enabled/checked)
*checkboxes(1 for each function, disabled/unchecked)

NOTE: resolution needs 1 checkbox for each of the resolutions(you can make them look like radiobuttons too)

if you want to disable a button or checkbox just place it at top 999-bottom 999(in theory this should work but i will test it self before release)

PS: Background height and width is the same as launcher height and width so instead of having to enter on both i removed launcher area and made it load the height and width of the background^^

finnished coding graphics mode
starting onthe .bat generator for the skins now
once thats done i will make a different app so admins gets an easier time editing the launcher to enable updater and stuff

EDIT: batch generator will be finnished tomorrow
here is a preview(not finnished yet)

ye sadly i have some trubble with storing and getting info out of .ini and/or .xml files >_>
once i get storing and getting info in ini or xml files sloved i will change the whole launcher code to support it

thanks Xezis for finding something i could use XD i will recode launcher from scratch
however it seens like it doesnt support %CD% which is what i need for graphic mode
i will see if i can find a workaround for that

also thanks *LoRD* for helping me with those dreaded api calls XD
