Ultimate Launcher System

Hi guys!
I am working on something special. Its a Server - Client based Launcher system.

You can ask, why?
Because I am working on something different.

Features
- Auto Update (HTTP), RePatch, Version Tracking
- Multilanguage
- Custom skin (You edit the PSD file, than save as PNG, and you can generate your new design)
- It can update itself (You dont need to give manual patches)

Basic Features
- 640x480 - 1920x1200 Resolution
- Sound on off
- Music on off
- Store username
- Window mode on off

Optional features
- Login on Launcher
- Custom Start parameters
- HWID user protection (It's working like Steam)

The main project is C# based, with SuperSocket. Its totally free project, but I will share the source code after most of the bugs fixed.

You can request nearly any feature, and when I have time I can make it and fix the bugs on it.

Just a question, updates will be something like

"1.1"

and in folder

1.0.zip
1.1.zip
etc.?

Im looking for something like this from some moths ago..

On the Webserver I have a version.txt file, which is a simple integer number, its contains the latest update version number.

so if the version number contains number 2
than on the webserver/updates folder contains 1.zip and 2.zip.


The updater download each package, unpack it and overwrite the files in the background. If any error happens in the background, for example user's client running / two launcher running or anything else, than it close everything (game client, launcher) and reopen itself, and than if its working its continue the updating.
If still error with overwrite files, than it will ask you to check the privilegs on the folder and offer a comupter restart button.

In the future I am planning to make a Guide which will popup on the 1st run, and if you check the checkbox than it will be hidden and you can re enable from the settings.

It will contain fixis for basic problems, like "Cant download updates from the server" - > Its because the webhost is offline, try to check the http://something.com/update page in the browser, if its not avelable, than please contact with the server administrator."

For the resolution the answer is Yes!

For the language...? Its complicated.

You can add languages for the launcher, not for the client.

But I can add a feature, which can replace the original text files, so you create the translated bmd files and than if you change language its just replace the bmd files, I think its the best way, because for this you dont need to edit the main.exe or anything.

HWID Auth working.

If the program is not coded by C++ then don't call it Ultimate... essentially .NET file will be cracked and bypass or even stealing codes

I call it ultimate, because of the features, not because of anything else.


Dear jackbot, let me ask you how will you create a designed form in c++?
Beucase if you add any windows form into your c++ application, than you cant encrypt. (Maybe QT I dont know...)

Maybe the best way to make it if you are using windows form C# or vb.net with C++ dll, and you ecrypt it.

Btw, eazfuscator is good againts random guys. Ofc we can talk about cracking, but everything is crackable on the world so I dont think it will be the biggest problem of this project.

If features are done, than I can try to recode it on a "safer" language.

If you have any idea I am listening. :D

Hi, good luck with this project !
For me the best features is save the client files from leechers.

Example: Some files hosted on server, when start the game, launcher will download this files and will be deleted after closing launcher.
Cannot Copy (file in use) by laucnher.

If you need some help with design, feel free to ask.

Nice work.
I'm waiting for official release.
