Hello ragezone!
Since there's no movement in the development of Rusty Hearts I've decided to kickstart some Open Source projects.

The launcher require the Rusty Hearts API to work. See the api documentation for instructions on setup.

API URL

In order for the launcher to work it need to be conected to the api. To change the URL address of the launcher API open the config.ini (it will be created when opening the launcher for the first time).

The default URL for the api can be changed on IniFile.cs

Client region
The client region can be set on Service on config.ini

• usa (PWE) - Full api support

Launcher self-update

In order for the launcher to automatically update itself, you need to use the launcher_info.ini in the launcher_update directory of the api. This file specifies the version of the launcher. After each update of the launcher, you need to change the version in the ini, as well in the launcher executable file.

Client patch

In order to create client patches, you need to use the `patch` directory of the api.

The tool for creating the patch files is available here: Rusty Hearts MIP Tool

If you want to change the text on the buttons/images used in the launcher you can use the Photoshop .psd files included in the Resources.rar
