[Release] Just Another Launcher; written in C# (with source)

**~~axxxa~~** · 01-30-2009

Well, as i have seen the other launchers topic, this tool came to my mind. Its really nothing special, in fact, its pretty simple, just few lines of code. I wrote it for some people of wowresource.eu, who were asking for something like that.

I am giving away whole solution, all you have to do is open it in visual studio (!!08!!) and modify few lines of code (required edits are commented). Images the launcher will use are located inside of bin/debug folder ( í know, i know), you dont have to distribute them with launcher - in fact, all you have to distribute is the exe file itself. You will need net framewrok tu run it, blablabla - you know. You can edit the images if you wish, program will compile with yours, just name them like the old ones and replace them into bin/debug folder.

On start, launcher will ask you for your wow folder, you can change it later to another one. Launcher has got two web browser windows, you will have to write their content by yourself (some simple news system, maybe? Well, simple stuff) and one select from servers database to show the number of online players into the other browser.

The launcher lets you delete your cache folder (checkbox, it will occour when you press play button) and theres another checkbox to change realmlist. Note: by default, its made in wotlk style, which means it uses new realmlist location. It currently has support for enUS, enGB - adding more is (again) matter of 10 secs:

Code:

if (Directory.Exists(location + "\Data\enUS")) 
                    {
                        path = location + "\Data\enUS";
                    }
                    else if (Directory.Exists(location + "\Data\enGB"))
                    {
                        path = location + "\Data\enGB";
                    }

simply add another elseif for more localizations.

If you are still running 2.4.3 server, comment or delete the code above.

Theres an example of how it might look like:

And theres download

As i said, really simple stuff.
