Re: kalonline launcher

Should those somethings be the relative path to the Kal exe?
I don't know cpp that well so the things after the first initial parameter could either be passed args to the client or another parameter that affects the client but doesn't pass variables...

Either way I'm pretty sure those somethings are its relative path from the launcher.

Re: kalonline launcher

#include<stdlib.h> or #include <windows.h>

system("start c:\Documents And Settings\Me\wow.exe");

Something like that (for windows atleast). You can use relative paths or absolute ones...

nah he means two arguments because kalonline.exe is a launcher itself...
u could use the engine.exe if u just wanne launch kalonline after the update ... otherwise im not sure but the arguments might be +/load/config .. but not sure

Start Game :

ProcessStartInfo file = new ProcessStartInfo();
            Process kalonline = new Process();
            file.Arguments = "/load /config debug";
            file.FileName = "engine.exe";
            file.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;

            kalonline.StartInfo = file;
            kalonline.Start();

            Application.Exit();

Game option:

ProcessStartInfo file = new ProcessStartInfo();
            Process kalonline = new Process();
            file.Arguments = "/setup";
            file.FileName = "engine.exe";
            file.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;

            kalonline.StartInfo = file;
            kalonline.Start();

to make a simple launcer I would recommend eScription - Home in case you never heard of it, check it out.

to launch a prog, with autoit, you will need only this line. & vuala.

Run("@ScriptDir & "\engine.exe")

to make a GUI with couple seconds in autoit you can use KODA - FormDesigner
