Re: How to make a .bat launcher
If you want a nice executable with a nice icon, and you don't want to use a sloppy looking batch file, you can compile your batch file into an EXE with a program. I use quick batch file compiler, and it lets you put a nice icon on it, and you dont need any programming experience. You can check my launcher out I have included it. if you dont trust the exe file, download a trial version of the batch file compiler... you are able to decompile the exe file back into a .bat file and see what I have in there... but ill let you know ahead of time...
@echo off (keeps things from being relayed in the dos prompt to the user)
TRose.exe @TRIGGER_SOFT@ _server roseonline.game-host.org
exit (closes program after the launch)
Very nice way to do it, and you can even have a splash screen when it starts, or whatever.
If you want to take it even a step further (I'm working on this now...) you can use auto-run menu studio to make a nice web browser with no banners, and have your roseonline site in the browser by default. You can add a button that opens your launcher to the GUI. Again, no programming knowledge necessary
P.S. The other file attached is if you want to try my launcher out (everyone has my permission to use this launcher in their development and download pages) This one has been changed to 127.0.0.1
If you would like a launcher like this one, send me a PM or an email with your server IP or address and an icon you would like to use, and I will compile you one... it takes all of 5 seconds to do!
Just drop the file into your roseonline directory and make a shortcut on your desktop.
