WoWza Launcher Coming Soon :)
This launcher was designed and programmed by me it is a very simple code. I have added the following features.
**Working Realmlist Changer
- 3 buttons one for your realm one for Blizzards realm and one for a seperate realm wich the user can define through the options menu
**News Section pulled from web
- This is somewhat done the top section of the application is actually a web browser that pulls a site wich will later be determined by a configuration file so anyone can customize the application. I am in need of someone who knows PHP to program the news and support section to be pulled from MySQL please talk to me in AIM my sn is Gamer2bn if you would like to help.
**Working play button
- The play button determines your wow.exe's location through a configuration file. When you load the launcher.exe it will tell you if your configuration settings are correct by looking for wow.exe if incorrect you simply click options and click set warcraft directory from here it is pretty simple a drop down file list.
TO BE ADDED SOON
**Display tips on startup
- unfortunatly not everyone is intelligent the app is very easy to follow but just in case i will add tips on startup to be defaultly on with an option on it to turn them off and in options to turn off or on.
**Other realmlist is not programmed yet should take all of 5 minutes to do though
Hope this app proves useful to everyone please comment on features you would like to be added. :)
Also note I will be adding some other things in the distant future such as an updater wich will update people who connect to your wow's clients when you have blizz updates ready in a serverside folder it will also update the launcher when it has bug fixes or upgrades this will all be done automatically.
SCREENIES :O

Forgot to tell you this does not get rid of or change blizzards launcher.exe or any other files for that matter it changes the realmlist but then changes it back when you want to log onto blizz.
Ok I have a first release for anyone who wants to help test this is the readme
************Gamer2bn's Launcher 1.0*************
This release is meant for testing only do not
put links to this in any other forum or on your
website unless if for client download. If you
give this to anyone do not include the following
files.
Configuration.exe
Launcher Folder
Clients do not need those files and you may not
hand this out to people who want it. If they do
want it send them to the following link:

Also note i've only worked on this twice so right before i made
this post I just made a crapload of changes very possible I
overlooked a glitch please report anything you find wrong or
any suggestions you have below.
The files are configured right now to connect to my server If
you dont feel like figuring out how to make it custom to your
server.
Blizzard button on realmlist changer will not work as I lost Blizzards IP when programming if anyone knows it please post.
lol also i forgot to resize form1 so their is a tan space that shouldn't be there.
Ok it's Thanksgiving turkey is digesting so I made a few changes to the Launcher. I decided to take a more blizzlike approach to the design here are the screenies of what it will look like not yet implemented I literally just made this in paint lol.
