Forum :: Lounge :: SLN Launcher Release (Source)

New EO Launcher with SLN List!

Things to note:

• Made in VB (That means it requires .NET framework)
• Currently V1(.4)
• More features to come
• Please suggest more features!
• Make sure the program has access to your config files! This will happen in the program files!

Theres already a program like this that shows all servers online in SLN(Even the 0 online ones).

I will try to find it and then link that one here.(It doesn't have IRC that I know of though)

Possible website.

Make the "Play" button actually work on this one.(When connecting to a server in the launcher database)

Make it simpler to add a server to the sln list, and have that send it to the eoserv sln aswell.

Post the server "news/MotD"

feature I would like to see in a launcher is automatically archiving and extracting /gfx/ based on what server you are connecting to, like you could rar the gfx dir from servers with custom content, put them in a dir, and have them load as needed

@redrocco I could prolly do that, but i tried to make a auto updater and had trouble retrieving the files. They would also have to make a special directory in their website with the client zip.

@Misca what do you mean make the play button work? It does work. I've tested it.

Also, i cant do the last one because thats part of their emulator and i cant recieve data that isnt sent to the XML file.

I dont get your 3nd one. (Wait i might know, You dont have to add the server to the sln, it automaticly retrieves it from the XML file thats in eoserv.net)

Sometimes the play button would not work with the old sln launcher.

When I said make it simpler to post a server on SLN list I meant, sometimes you see people posting how to do it here on eoserv.net

---

The last one applies to the emulator not the SLN program. Plus the play button on this doesn't break. Have you actually downloaded this and seen the features?

Another feature coming soon will be when you click on one of the columns it will sort the list from that column.

No, when I said fix the play button, I meant off the old sln launcher, where it was in fact broken. I didnt download yours so sorry for the misunderstanding.

---
Former multi-server mapper.

I dont have the old one, i made this one, why are you telling me to fix another one then lol? If you wanna give me suggestions , download it , check the features already added into it, and post a suggestion then.

Edit: Added advertising IRC

Make a site for advertising eo servers lol. Youll get tons of users. 

Let them upload a banner, their server name, and server info.

EDIT: Omg I should add that in the SLN Launcher program im making.

Pulled this from a topic you replied in. Just thought I would mention that this idea has been implemented before, Sordie put it into her EO Launcher and barely anybody used it because they either didn't know how or couldn't be bothered: https://eoserv.net/forum/topic/6894&p=2

Good luck with that one, I suggest you make it really simple and user friendly. Oh and for the majority of people, compatible with webs.com free hosting lol.

Web developer, currently looking for graphic artists / designers.

You mean the server info? Its not like that, but im including that, but not the way sordie did,  im using the default one that comes if it doesnt find the user created one. And the irc is very simple, just enter the name, put in the CAPTCHA and your in.

Im added the config editing (Right now it only reads and checks the values and shows it in a checkbox) but i need to add the save function which isnt too hard, i have most of it together, and of course i forget to bring my laptop that has the source on it -.-.

Im also going to add a friend list and ignore list editor.

Once i get it to v3 or w.e ill clean up the source for whoever wants it, or not depending on how many people actually will use the source. I will still continue to make updates.
