HK's Standard Launcher(Highly customizeable) V2

the close button is the image itself
the reason the checkboxes are cut off on the top is to remove the checkbox background but i will try again to not cut the top

radiobuttons i am more unsure that i can fix but anyway as you see the background on them cant be transparent

ok its done and i tested it with the skin provided by darkylord

known bugs
* when you load a skin.ini file while in graphics mode the close button in top right will become invisible(still clickable) it will show up again the next time the launcher is started.
* the launcher cannot be used in graphics mode if the launcher or the skin is inside a shared folder(no clue what causes this o.O)

changes from graphic mode concept
* the news and donation will be opened in new windows during graphics mode
* custom checkboxes+radiobuttons support had to be removed(caused out of bounds bug even with the correct code)

other changes
* Launcher Skinner is simpler and there is far less to enter

download links in first post

EDIT: someone informed me about the updater not working, this have been corrected and i thank you for the fast report. The fix is uploaded on sendspace and seeitworks

the updater have become unstable after the last release so i am modifying a working one to be like an extension on the launcher
this "extension" will add an highly sought feature tho

* [finnished]checksum checking of the files
* [finnished]uses less resource when downloading(went from 50% cpu usage to 1 - 5%)
* [90% finnished] redesigned Update Manager(missing the create update files function)
* [finnished] downloads all filed separately(makes it possible to resume update after broken connection)

PS: since i am working now its abit unsure when this will be finnished but as you see its pretty close to the end product, i will keep you all updated ^^

the mechanics of the updater module for the launcher is done, the missing parts are the loops and the read info from dll(if i get the dll part to work)

ok its finaly done!

glad to hear everything works now.
maybe i will be able to sleep for a while now without worrying XD

HK can you explain how the updater works ?

guide done

http://forum.ragezone.com/attachment...te-manager.doc

also the updater works by reading a file for the update server url
get a checksum file
look in the checksum file for the file locations and the checksums
see if they match the ones listed
if they match then go to next file
else download new one from listed source
once done it launches the main with specified parameters

it will be more of a free time project now tho and it will be open sourced
hopefully i get to start around may or something due to work and exams.
