[Release] New launcher with update function

[marten75]

Hello,

I downloaded the launcher, but i didn't like it that you can not change the looks of it and no automatic updates could be done.

Therefor I created one myself in Visual Basic .NET Express 2010.
You will need to have webspace or a webserver for this launcher.
The launcher requires .NET Framework 4.x

where are the instructions for configure the launcher??

 

[marten75]

I checked the archives and it seems i forgot to add the instructions sorry about that.

Extract AionRemote to a temporary folder.
Copy the bin32 files for 1.5.x.x or 1.9.x.x into the bin32 subfolder.
Now run GenerateCRC.exe, it will create a CRC file for each file in the bin32 folder and create a filelist.txt

You will need to change the FilePath and Commandline in the .ini

Replace FilePath with the location of your webspace and replace <SERVERIP> with the ip address of your Aion server.

for example if your webspace is http://myspace.someprovider.com change FilePath in the ini to http://myspace.provider.com/aion/bin32/

After this you can upload the aion folder to your webspace.

logo and launcher.html can be changed ofcourse

For the launcher all you have to do is point it to the aion folder on your webspace which contains the filelist and .ini http://myspace.someprovider.com/aion/

The launcher uses the ini on your webspace for configuration so if your server ip changes all you have to do is change it in the ini on your webspace.

I've got few suggestions ..

Can u make that it's possible to update not only bin32 but other folders like L10N , Data etc. Including the subfolders.
And support for no-ip.

But can you share the Launchers sources?
I would like to avoid using the file "Aion Launcher.ini"

THX
