Forum :: Lounge :: Endless Online Launcher - Made By Haze (V2 OUT NOW!)

I decided to make an Endless Online Launcher like sordies.

I made the program in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

You can use the launcher in your server to make it look more professional.

 

How to use

1. First just download the exe here. [856 KB].

2. Now you should have an icon on your desktop called "Endless Online - Launcher V.2". Run It.

Make sure everything works. (Play, Credits, Etc.)

4. Have Fun.

 

How to add it with your server

1. Download the exe here. [856 KB]

2. Now you should have a folder in you C:\ drive called Endless Online. Open It.

3. Now delete the Files folder, then replace it with yours. (Remember to rename it to Files after you replace it.)

4. Now run the Endless Online Launcher on your desktop. Click Play.

5. In the new version (V2) your going to need to keep it in the "Files" fodler because if you don't it cannot read the config.ini file for the settings.

now what would be good is if you gave it the option of auto patching ;) that'd be a good key feature all MMO clients need ;p

I'm trying to learn how to do that. I'm going to see if i can make it check for the files through wi-fi. (Ex. It checks the server hosters File folder and checks for new items, if new items spoted it will prompt the user to update or it will probably just do it for you.)

Umm, I downloaded it and the config and play buttons will not work. It says it cannot find a file or something.

You're all fags.

Nice Release!

I would give you a +1 but I don't want to install .NET framework just to check it out and I can't really + someone if I cannot test the application.

It looks good from the screenshot though :)

I am an alien and not crazy!

Instead of the grey background, resize the EO client background and place it back there :P itll look alot better .(:

:P btw for the patcher you will have to use WebClient and check for a version txt file, use a streamreader to read it. If their clients version isnt that version that it updates. The WebClient Feature stinks though because i tried tons of ways to use it and it never works.

Lol i was just messing around in VB and decided to make this. In my honest opinion it's a pretty stupid program and should be fixed up abit but i don't have the time nor the interest.

Ps: I was going to add an updater..

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("Server Hosters WebServer URL")
        Dim response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()

        Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())

        Dim newestversion As String = sr.ReadToEnd
        Dim currentversion As String = Application.ProductVersion

        If newestversion.Contains(currentversion) Then
            MessageBox.Show("Your client is up to date.")
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("Newer version is available.")
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

Yeah then you could do 

Application.ProductVersion = newestversion 

if it lets you set it. Then you could download the newest version from the url. 

Heres mine but the downloading file keeps triggering exceptions.
