[Release] MapleStory Client Launcher

[zhenyee]

I've coded this launcher myself.
Screen shot:


Sample uploaded on MediaFire (MapleStory Client Launcher [Sample].rar)
Project uploaded on MediaFire (Launcher Project.rar)

Use Visual Basic 2008 to edit the launcher
Feel free to edit it.
But at lease give credits, thanks you.

Features:
01. Page with avatar ranking
02. Client select
03. Other ppl cant edit your launcher coz no .ini file needed (PRO!)

What you must do:

Extract Launcher Project.rar
Copy everything in web folder into your WampServer www dir or whatever you are using
Edit the webbrowser1 url (it links you to http://localhost/launcher.php) 
Edit which client will be launched in From2.vb 

The things in the web browser is up to you! Just edit launcher.php
or make your own php file. Mine has Avatar ranking and i will add server status on it.

Notes to moderators: If i did something wrong and you wanna delete my thread, please tell me why, i'll fix it.ty

And to members:
Did i missed something?
Post any question on here and i'll reply you as soon as possible.
Don't flame before trying my Laucher.

Full credits to me!!!

My suggestion:
Make an installer with this launcher and your client.
DO NOT forgot to set a ShortCut on the desktop in your installer. (Hope you understand, my eng bad)
Put it into your download page and let ppl download.
It is easier for ppl to install and directly play, no need copy anything.

Hopefully my release added into the library. :D

Just some tips:

To make the code shorter:

On Form2,change:

If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then
Shell(RemedyMS.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
End If
If RadioButton2.Checked = True Then
Shell("RemedyMS.2bDmgCap.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
End If
If RadioButton3.Checked = True Then
Shell("RemedyMS.NCashShop.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
End If
If RadioButton4.Checked = True Then
Shell("RemedyMS.SCashShop.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
End If

to:

If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then
Shell(RemedyMS.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked = True Then
Shell("RemedyMS.2bDmgCap.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
ElseIf RadioButton3.Checked = True Then
Shell("RemedyMS.NCashShop.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
ElseIf RadioButton4.Checked = True Then
Shell("RemedyMS.SCashShop.Client.exe")
Form1.Close()
End If

If you want to add a ServerName thing then go to Form1 and Add:

Dim ServerName As String = "Your server Name"

Under:

Public Class Form1

And add:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Text = ServerName & " Launcher"
End Sub

Under:

Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click
Form2.Show()
End Sub

You can use the same thing for the client name,just use the ServerName string on Form2 and do something like:

Shell(ServerName & ".exe")

:).

Another Tip,Create a new form that will ask the user for configs,like directory,client names and blah blah blah
Then you can add a Setting and use:

My.Settings.Path = TextBox1.Text
My.Setting.Save()

That will permanently save the settings that the user choose,so,making it easy

Thanks for giving me the codes coz i'm just only 13 years old.. i'n sooooooo NOOB.

[tamekii]

I'm 13 too,Age doesn't matter :)
You just need to pratice,your code is pretty good..Is this one of your first applications?If so,good job

[zhenyee]

this is my... about 35th application...
HAHAHA
but those 1st - 34th is useless. i onli made them for myself.
.................

[tamekii]

Haha :)

So,if you want,replace the code on Form2 to:

Public Class Form2
Dim ServerName As String = "YourServerName" 'Edit your server name here
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then
Shell(ServerName & ".exe")
Form1.Close()
ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked = True Then
Shell(ServerName & "dmg.exe")
Form1.Close()
ElseIf RadioButton3.Checked = True Then
Shell(ServerName & "nCS.exe")
Form1.Close()
ElseIf RadioButton4.Checked = True Then
Shell(ServerName & "sCS.exe")
Form1.Close()
End If
End Sub
End Class

So if you server is called vbMS,change:

Dim ServerName As String = "YourServerName" 'Edit your server name here

to

Dim ServerName As String = "vbMS" 'Edit your server name here

And then your client names should be:
vbMS.exe
vbMSdmg.exe
vbMSnCS.exe
vbMSsCS.exe

Oh well,i'll stop giving the codes,next time i'll help only xD
