    Launcher help + Item Mall - Odin Files help please.

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone has a guide that could help me set up a launcher with the new files, one that can create a token for the player to sign in with, hopefully one that can generate a new token every time. I am just beginning to learn VB and am willing to learn more if someone would teach me how to do this. Yes I saw this post here: http://forum.ragezone.com/f594/see-896681/ Yes I have searched the forums, with no results. And no I do not have money to spend.

    Also help with setting up the Item Mall on Odin files would be greatly appreciated. (also searched this.)

    That being said; Why would you need all that to begin with? For your buddies to connect or something? It takes "money" to start up a server, you pointing out you don't have any to spend is just.. I don't even know.

    PS, I'm not trying to be mean. :c

    Your getting it a bit wrong!
    Launcher isn't going to generate the tokens, the Web server is going to.
    Launcher asks, for User/Pass and sends it to Web server, which then validates it and generates the token and then saves it to DB, after that it sends token back to the launcher and it starts the Client with it.
    When Client is started up it connects to the Login server which validates the token by asking the Web server (REST Server acts like it as default) and when its valid/notExpired it sends correct response back.

    sometimes you just want to use your home pc and have a group of friends to connect and have fun. That is what private servers are about. The making it public and other stuff is just what it becomes later. Personally i try to learn with it all so i am building a rest server of my own even though i have a working on already. I would say point them in the right direction to learn how to do it. If you want someone to build someting you should at least donate to them and help them out a little.

    Sorry I didn't elaborate, there is already a server, and I am just the graphics designer/developer. The server is in beta but we need a launcher to fully release, and we need to release, soon.

    Try spending money with nothing to spend with, this is why we NEED to open. It's hard to spend what you don't have without going further into debt.

    So, let me see if i get this correct. You have a server (cost money), do graphics, and you need a launcher you don't want to take the time to learn how to build. Now, you want someone to do it for free cause you are so cheap not to offer even services to the person that would spend the time to do it.

    Here is a thought, LEARN OR PAY. if you don't want to do ether i think your screwed.

    I clearly stated I am willing to learn how, I am not the server owner, and neither of us can afford any of this, if the server gets up and we get a launcher I would gladly pay what I can to whoever helped me out of my own pocket.

    Thanks for proving mostly all you find are pricks on ragezone still... I said I was willing to pay, if we get the server up, and asked for some help with VB, clearly I know how to google something. It would just be nice to learn from a person rather than some web page that can not redefine it's meaning, I would be willing to pay the person when I can if we manage to get a working launcher, whether they taught me how to do it, or gave me a working one. I would prefer to be taught how because it would be useful in the future.

    It's not that they're pricks, it's the fact that many of the new people coming here to get the new server files expect to be given everything they need simply by just asking. Sure you're offering to "pay" "when" your server goes public, but truth is majority of those people just waste their times because they never go public, so I guess that's why they don't want to waste their times with it either.

    You're "working" for an owner who can't even bring up his own server without having to rely on donations before the game is even made public, that says a lot. And the way you talk it's as if you know 100% you're gonna make -insert value here- right from the start. I'd suggest what the people have said till now, either go to youtube/google and look at different ways to make your own, or talk to your Owner/Staff and see what they can do to come up with the cash to get a nice launcher from iStu, given the chance you aren't working for a bunch of kids (no offense).

    Re: Launcher help + Item Mall - Odin Files help please.

    from my experience the servers normally make enough to stay alive for a little bit and no one ever gets paid. So banking on paying for a hamburger tomarrow for one today never pays off. I'm not being a prick, i'm telling it how it is. If you think your going to get rich running a pserver its kind of like winning the lotto, chances are slim. I personally have never seen a dime from anything i have done (wish i did). Education is my only payment and one day maybe with the knowledge i learn with all of this i can make something thats worth money.

    Lugapha I was not referring to you, you are not a prick, you actually help people to your ability. I was referring to the ones who always rip on the beginners, the few I have seen actually help people are you (Lugapha), Bakey, Wolfy, Crystalz, uhhh... well that's it, note I haven't been here long so I may have missed a few names, or just haven't seen them. Kriean was another I believe along with iStu and Munozvo

    if you are going to learn vb to do this, just dont create the token on client side... make a php script or asp to generate the token on server side.
