[Launcher]Aion Server Launcher

[S0ulDrag0n]

Well, here is my Aion Launcher. Please give me any feedback or suggestions. Please keep it to constructive criticism. If you like what you see, please let others know!

[+] Requirements

• Windows OS
• .Net Framework 4 (Get it
  You must be registered to see links
  )

[+] Project Description

This is a simple launcher that starts and stops your server for you with a single click of a button. It will directly invoke java with the proper arguments on the Aion server packages. You must place it in the parent directory of the game and login servers. (See example below).

This launcher was coded in C# on the .Net Framework 4 with WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). I haven't done much development work on it since this is a side thing and I have other projects to tend to. Development will pick up in the summer.

[+] Features

• Output boxes for each server (No Command Prompt)
• Custom Launcher Skin for style
• Custom Animations for dynamic UI
• Dynamic Font Size Adjustment
• Minimize to tray area
• Different server start up options
• Configuration for multiple server instances
• Error reports for better error support
• Configuration auto-generation (first run only)
• Support for Aion Lightning.

[+] Multiple GameServers

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ArrayOfConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Just make another copy of the configuration like so with the loginserver path empty:

Hm, can you get a screen shot of what you mean since I don't seem to have any problems with that.

@Pr00f

I'll get that available soon.

EDIT: Updated To Version 1.2

• Update that prevents launcher from closing when GameServer cannot start due to in sufficient memory. (Pressing start again will launch the other two servers even when the launcher crashes.)
• Minimize will now send to tray area.

NOTE: New program and UI design coming soon!!

 

[Romulan]

Impossible to screen it... but maybe a video to showing you.

But it's maybe my computer too --" idk...

Great job anyway...

May i suggest one thing?

A special feature for the chatserver...

I want to run it after the gameserver is loaded... not in the same time as loginserver and gameserver.

Is it possible to make a special button for run chatserver separatly?

Sorry, that's not a launcher error. There's something wrong with your server files or your Java setup.

@ Romulan

Sure, I've already started working on version 1.5 so I'll be sure to implement that then.

As for the bug you mentioned, I don't think it exists since I've kept mine running for quite a bit and I don't have any problems bringing it up. Does it say it has stop responding when you bring up the task manager?

 

[Romulan]

Hum...

When the program still a long time in the task bar and when i want to restore it, the window still "blank" a few minutes before to be ready and to be usable...

It's a minor bug, i think it's my computer... not your tool ^^

And i think it's now solved with your new version xD with the tray area ...

Fact that before this all worked, and updated the server to the 2410 audit was to issue a bug in GS. People say that Aion-Unique what is changed in loading GS. Sorry for my english:

 

[Romulan]

Then, it's not an issue with the Server Launcher ^^

It's an issue with your server revision...

That's great that's working for you but I think it may have been loading slowly on your pc for some reason if that's the case.

In the next version there will be a minimize to tray button available and different options available to launch your servers with.

So look forward to it. :tongue:

 

[Romulan]

Keep the great work *_*

working on v.1.5 server not working on v.1.9 server

 

[creed0116]

i havent tried this before.. but if you want a working and user friendly Launcher try the no-ip launcher..

 

[S0ulDrag0n]

i havent tried this before.. but if you want a working and user friendly Launcher try the no-ip launcher..

This is not a client launcher.

@ romehang

I have this working with my version 1.9 server just fine. Can you provide more information on the problem you're getting?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the error. The arguments have changed on the GameServer.

There will be a new version available tonight for version 1.9.

This will be included in the new version as an option.

Thanks for your report.


EDIT 2: Updated To Version 1.3

• Working with version 1.9. Please download version 1.2 if you are still using the 1.5 server files.

Well, now it's working, thank you very much

 

[S0ulDrag0n]

Well, now it's working, thank you very much

Sorry about that, didn't know they swapped the arguments for 1.9. A feature for this will be available in the new version I'm working on. :tongue:

Thanks!

EDIT: Seems that it was since the performance update that the arguments have changed. So version 1.3 is now recommended for all.
