[WIP] Launcher with update feature.

[xeross155]

Hey Everyone,

I am currently working on a launcher written in C# (Might rewrite in C++ in a distant future). So far I've gotten most features working but I'm going to rewrite it completely because I don't like the way I've written it now.

Features

• * Updating, checks the client version and downloads/executes updates accordingly (Up to whatever version you configure) - Done
  * Self updating, can update itself if there have been any changes - Not Started
  * Shows server status after it's done patching etc - Done
  * Shows twitter or other feed in the center - Not Started
  

Screenshot

Tell me what you guys think of it, and if you have any feature suggestions I'd love to hear em.

Regards, Xeross

Shows twitter or other feed in the center - Not Started

By this do you mean being able to configure your utility to post news from Twitter, MySpace, etc., or your own News And Updates http server, if one has such a feature for their server's community?

A suggestion would be to have it "skinnable" so people could create their own look for the utility, such as using TBC graphics if they're running a 2.43 server.

nice is this open source?

xeross155, Project die? i hope not!

[xeross155]

I still plan on finishing it, but currently busy getting my server up and running again, I'll try working on it again soon.

[darkstalker]

make it sure it works with wine under linux

[skrbxx]

Gan you please release the code.

[xeross155]

Perhaps I'll release the source, seems the best thing to do. But first I prefer getting everything working.

make it sure it works with wine under linux

It won't work on wine, however it will work on Mono probably.

[skrbxx]

I can help you with code and adding some nice stuff

[Endon]

This looks really interesting!

I hope you will continue with the development on this

[xeross155]

At the moment I have other projects with a higher priority, however I will finish this, eventually...

[nanounico]

Nothing yet?

[xeross155]

I have a lot of projects, so this isn't really top priority, though I do plan on finishing it someday.

Into my project "WoW Launcher"... I have think to integrate an anti-hack system in this way i can check if the player uses hack without error (it checks running processes).

1. Launcher -> connect()

2. Various checks

3. Server -> send()

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[ Loop ]

4. Launcher checks periodically the running processes (warden logic)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[ Loop ]

5. Hack found -> send message

6. Server -> SOAP [kick / ban]

Would be epic , could you share the source code?

[xeross155]

Guess I can share the source code as I'm gonna rewrite it in python anyways, will see what I can do.

[xeross155]

Well guys, enjoy, you need Visual Studio 2010 with C# installed.
