Umm, I hate this. Can someone show me a tutorial on how to make a GunZ Launcher and how to edit the server name on the client?

Yes, I did try and hex'edit my gunz.exe client in my hex editor (UltraEdit). When I replaced Debug Server with GZU-GunZ and saved it, the client icon was replaced by a white square with a blue rectangle as the header and it wouldnot run...there was a "this is not a valid bla bla bla file".

So, does anybody know how to successfully hex-edit a launcher and a client's server name because my hex-editor doesn't like me that much.
 
Uh, I just coded my own launcher in VB, so I can't really help there. I think there's a tutorial on editing launchers by Thugie.

And as far as hex-editing the client, make sure the runnable is unpacked before hex-editing it (google "unpacking exe files", it's most likely packed with something like ASPack or UPX).

I have no idea how to unpack a exe file. Looked it up in google and the results were confusing.

As for the launcher, I downloaded Awebs launcher and I just configurated it for my own use.

The server name changing still enigmafies me.

Enigmafies = confuses, puzzles

hehe, new vocab term.

To make a GunZ Launcher, you can use VB.

Open VB, make a command button. Double click on the command button and type
Code:
Shell "C:\Program Files\MAIET\Gunz\Gunz.exe"
edit the path if necessary. Compile and there you have it.
