[Guide] How to code a launcher in vb.net
This is how easy it is, this will require no prior knowledge of any coding language.
I made this because i saw the post about the quick batch file compiler thing w/e.
This will not make a pretty launcher but it will make one that functions. Making it pretty is your problem :]
What you need:
.Net framework 3.5
Download - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition
Download - http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/
After you install both start up visual basic 2008.
Click file>New Project (ctrl+N)
Make sure "Windows Data Forms Application" is selected, name it w/e you want, and click ok.
Now you should have a blank windows form like this:

Click the button tool in the tool box and then click the form.
Button Tool:

Your form should now look something like this:

re size the button if you would like. then in the properties panel (located in the bottom rite corner) where it says "Text" change that to "Play"

now double click the button to get to the coding and paste the following:
For OSRose/OSIRose Based:
Code:
Shell ("TRose.exe @TRIGGER_SOFT@ _server SERVERIP")
replace the SERVERIP with your server ip.
For Arcturus Based:
Code:
Shell ("PROTECT.exe SERVERIP")
replace protect.exe with the name of your gameguard thing, and server ip with your server ip :P
click file>save all (ctrl+shift+S)
then click Build>Build "Your Applications Name"
you will find the file you just saved and built in
"\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WindowsApplication1\WindowsApplication1\bin\Release"
or something close to it.
one i made in 2 min:

Re: [Guide] How to code a launcher in vb.net
Default, how come it says "Declaration expected" when i build it?
If i click the error to search where the problem might be it colors the word 'shell' in my button..
Do i have to delete the old Code of the button?
