Step #5. Edit the launcher.ini

WorldPort = "7777"

; The command you use to start the game
[Play]
Shell = "bin32\aion.bin -ip:127.0.0.1 -port:2106 -cc:1 -lang:enu -noauthgg -ls -charnamemenu -ncg -ingameshop -noweb"

Mind to post the builded launcher together too?
I was thinking about changing some settings though,since we already had the source code @.@
I was wondering is it possible to put in the CRC check? rather than version check =/
Thank you for the share ;)!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

All the crap u pasted.

this is the problem.
Ionic.Zip.ZipException: Cannot read that as a ZipFile ---> Ionic.Zip.BadReadException: Bad signature (0x213C0A0D) at position 0x00000000

Your not using a *.zip file, change the extension of what ever archive r you are using to be a *.zip.


Thanks everybody else for the support.

[Markox]

Great release, but, how i can do to not update all time?...

always when i connect with launcher hes always update :S!

[charnolds]

someone could provide the source in the pipeline ..
or I can use the source, since I have the Visual Studio 2010 and still not add the source as written .. just edit the project.

[RawkinRex]

Awesome launcher. I had a few thoughts on some modifications. Adding the Version check number to a variable, allowing the launcher to scale to new server versions as they are applied to the server.

[-DefaulT]

With the source it would be easy to add, just add a line in the ini such as ServerVersion = ""

Then in the source dim the ServerVersion then do a check between version ini and the ServerVersion.

[charnolds]

any way to hide ip and port of the other. ini?
