Well, here is my Aion Launcher. Please give me any feedback or suggestions. Please keep it to constructive criticism. If you like what you see, please let others know!
[+] Requirements
- Windows OS
- .Net Framework 4 (Get it here)
[+] Project Description
This is a simple launcher that starts and stops your server for you with a single click of a button. It will directly invoke java with the proper arguments on the Aion server packages. You must place it in the parent directory of the game and login servers. (See example below).
This launcher was coded in C# on the .Net Framework 4 with WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). I haven't done much development work on it since this is a side thing and I have other projects to tend to. Development will pick up in the summer.
[+] Features
- Output boxes for each server (No Command Prompt)
- Custom Launcher Skin for style
- Custom Animations for dynamic UI
- Dynamic Font Size Adjustment
- Minimize to tray area
- Different server start up options
- Configuration for multiple server instances
- Error reports for better error support
- Configuration auto-generation (first run only)
- Support for Aion Lightning.

[+] Multiple GameServers
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ArrayOfConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Configuration>
<ServerVersion>1.9</ServerVersion>
<LoginServer>
<ServerPath>.\loginserver</ServerPath>
<MaxStartTime>32</MaxStartTime>
<MinStartTime>8</MinStartTime>
</LoginServer>
<ChatServer>
<ServerPath>.\chatserver</ServerPath>
<MaxStartTime>128</MaxStartTime>
<MinStartTime>128</MinStartTime>

<GameServer>
<ServerPath>.\gameserver</ServerPath>
<MaxStartTime>1536</MaxStartTime>
<MinStartTime>512</MinStartTime>
</GameServer>
</Configuration>
</ArrayOfConfiguration>
Just make another copy of the configuration like so with the loginserver path empty:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
