[Showoff] Bloodsorrow Launcher

[bueslum]

Diseal3 and I have been working on this launcher for about a day now and we are trying to make it perfectly blizzlike. Diseal3 coded it and I made all the pics. The launcher loads our own custom news, the play button edits your realmlist to ours, and the play retail button edits the realmlist according to your location. We also included a clear cache button so no more hassle for going into your WoW folder. We still have some bugs to fix like a couple of the button mouseovers, and add the flash animation at the top. This whole launcher was coded completely from scratch and was done completely by Diseal3 and I.

Awesome, +Rep

[Diseal3]

Yes worked my ass off on this thing with Bueslum =). I coded it and set basic layout and tried to get blizzlike sizes and bueslum helped with the button's since my photoshop is not working properly.

What's the point of showing it off if your not going to release it?

Seems like something with a high ego would do *winks*

[Diseal3]

Man when ure one of the first to release something working and looking THIS good ofc! =D

[bueslum]

Download link will be up soon to test it so people can help with bugs. The .exe file that is.

Hellgawd released something like this, exept it doesn't say Bloodsorrow Entertainment so any realm can use it

Check the program section, there's like 5 of these seriously :P

No this isn't actually. We are the first to do this nobody else made a launcher as blizzlike as ours the news is custom and exactly the same format as Blizzard's everybody else just uses Blizzard's.

Keyword was looking "Good" ours is the closet thing to blizzlike that i've seen and that was the goal. Hellgawd's also say heroicwow all over the place, we tried to keep our ad's to a min. Hellgawd's also does not have a editable realmlist, so it's technically not useable for all servers. As well as the fact that we have 1 retail button which determines your location and set's the realmlist accourdingly.

No Herioc References :P

Minimal Heroic References... nothing big

Ours is 10x better than 2d's all his does is load Blizzard's news (I said this before didn't I?) and it has 2 play buttons. Hellgawd's buttons are horribly off and look nothing like Blizzard's. They both use the default Windows UI and they are both missing the bottom half of the launcher.

Actually, Hellgawd did do something like this, and it DOES look good, Why would you show it off though? Hellgawds buttons are NOT Horribly off. Hahahahah funny.. i'll just stop.

And Hellgawds shows Retail news (Some people want that that play priv and retail) and HeroicWoW News.

To each his own =P Were not insulting anyone's work here. Let's keep the peace and not turn this into another un-needed flame thread.

they both probably spent about 30 minutes on theirs. and if they actually spent time doing theres, it WOULD be blizzlike.



Just my opinion.

[bueslum]

Thanks for the bug report. As for the upper left icon that was done on purpose to match the desktop icon. The top image is just a place holder until we finish our flash animation and then that will be put in. Like I said earlier we will be releasing a .exe later so that we can get more people to test it. Before we release the exe we need to finish a few things like that flash animation and he mouseovers on the buttons.
