[C#]QuallDEV - MapleLauncher 1.3™ beta 1 - the revolutionary launcher!

- BETA 2 RELEASE DATES UNCONFIRMED - WILL BE AROUND SEPTEMBER ( BUSY WITH EXAMS ) -

- WALL OF TEXT -
Hi guys! This is a revolutionary program created by me. It is a launcher/splash screen/file checker/server status checker. It is all-in-one, combined. Similar to the previous builds of MapleLauncher (v1 and v2), it also manipulates C#'s ability of embedded launching. Meaning that the client comes along with the launcher. Handy right?

This is not a fully tested beta and might be a little bit buggy. It means that this build of the program wasn't tested fully yet.
If there are any errors, please don't hesitate to inform me so I can apply a hotfix ASAP.


- INCLUDED FILES -

Splash Screen PSD (Photoshop CS3, CS4 and CS5)
MapleLauncher Source Files


- FEATURES -

1. Server Status Check (NO MORE ANNOYING MAPLE SERVER CHECK MESSAGE!)
2. File Check (Checks for WZ files before launching client)
3. IPLaunch™ - Launches a 127.0.0.1 client straight to your server without hex edits!
4. KlientEmbed™ - Embeds the client straight into the launcher, so that the launcher already is the client!
5. CopyProof™ - More on this later.

- IN DEVELOPMENT -

XML Configuration - Don't need Visual Studio 4
Downgraded to .NET 3.5


- GUIDE TO USE AND SETUP -

1. Unzip the file with the password 'squall' and open it in Visual C# Express or Visual Studio 2010.
2. Double click on 'Properties' in Solution Explorer.
3. Go to the resources tab.
4. Click on Add Resources (Drop down list) and select Add Existing
5. Open a clean/edited localhost with IP 127.0.0.1. Make sure that it is not IP edited and it is named 'localhost.exe'
6. Open Form1.cs
7. Edit the variables 'hostname' and 'port' correspondingly.
8. Build and run. (make sure you put in your maple folder!)

- NOTE & DISCLAIMER -

NOTE: When I say edited localhost, I mean like UFJ, Super Tubi and stuff like that. Not IP edits. The IP edits will be handled by the launcher.

DISCLAIMER: The splash screen was originally created by abduzeedo at this website. It was just edited by me because I didn't want to waste time on the splash screen.

If you do have any problems, please tell me. Maybe I can help you. Server-side help will not be given.
Oh and, I will offer service to set up this program for a limited amount of time. Please PM me if you need help.

Thanks.
Squall

Thanks, and you seem to be good at this C# thing.
You should make a launcher with its own hack protection thing.

Okay, I finished with the guide. And thanks :). Anyways I have to go to tuition now. When I come back, I'll look more into heuristic development in c# :) bb

Dammit I removed C# a few days ago..can you make the port & hostname be chosen through the UI or editing a file ?!

I'll do it for you... MSN? And of course. I will try to implement.

How about some screenshots?

errh? there are screenshots?

Lol I like it but I don't have a server nor do I have permission to run a small one on my lappy.

Question: Can this work on all version that use a localhost?

The client embedded into MapleLauncher is v83. If you want other versions, please PM me. And I'm almost done with the XML configuration thing.

Code:

---

void sleep(Int32 millisecs)
        {
            if (realism == true)
            {
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(millisecs);
            }
            else if (realism == false)
            {
           
            }
        }

---

This is for real?
You might have to revise your code before calling this 'revolutionary', but I hope you learnt some C# with it :):

Good luck.
