Just Another RAN Launcher

[PX2000]

-Simple Features

• FTP base communication for patching.
• Resume capabilities if ever launcher was close during patching.
• MiniWeb dashboard for your server notice and etc.
• File check for some missing file from updates.
• Patch files encryption to avoid manual downloading.

-How to
******************************************************************************************
A. Setup FTP server

1. Filezilla Server or any.
2. Create two accounts 1 for uploader and 1 for downloader.
3. Downloader account must only have (Files: Read, Directory: List, +Subdirs) permissions while Uploader account must all permissions. (Note: Download and uploader accounts must have the same shared directory.)

B. Generate your launcher config

1. Run ConfigGenerator.exe inside ConfigGenerator folder and input your needs.
2. Copy/paste your generated launcher.ini to ClientLauncher folder.

Note: Miniweb Link do not end it with .../*.php since launcher will automatically add /news.php and /banner.php in runtime.

C. Setup PatchGenerator

1. Open and edit Generator.ini from PatchGenerator folder with your needs.
2. Run all the queries in sql inside dbQueries folder
3. Prepare an updated fullclient, include the files/folder from ClientLauncher folder. Copy/paste your updated fullclient in PatchGenerator folder and drag the entire client folder to PatchGenerator.exe
4. Manually upload all the contents inside upload folder to your FTP shared directory.
5. Generating small patches put the files in PatchGenerator/client folder then run PatchGenerator.exe, then type create and hit enter.

Note:
Step 1-4, usually you only do this for first time use.
Step 5, will not automatically upload your files if you set AutoUpload=false in Generator.ini

D. Miniweb (self explanatory, refer to Miniweb folder)

Welcome here @ Ran Section

- - - Updated - - -

Btw is there any way to downgrade require .net framework? Jusk asking..the main problem here in ran section is some users dont want any additional dload like .net framework they all want plug and play

[PX2000]

Nowadays most of Windows already have .NET Framework 4.5... if you have 4.5+ above no need to downgrade, its clear I say "minimal require version is 4.5"... :D

[vienchin]

how about for those using window xp??
i think xp is lower 4.0 netframe

[PX2000]

how about for those using window xp??
i think xp is lower 4.0 netframe

Why not update to 4.5 or higher?

[xdev]

i think it's possible to downgrade the source code's .net framework if it's made in vb.net :)

[PX2000]

I can't lower anymore the .net version.. I'm using some references that only exists in .NET 4.5 or above.. I write this launcher thinking of compatibility issue with lower windows versions but sad to say the lower windows version in my mind is Windows 7.
