[DEVELOPMENT] Customizable Cataclysm Launcher

[inzenir]

Well, honestly, you won't get much else but the "design". Everything else is up to you to write.

The but that said 'And all of that will be open-source!' made me think otherwise.

Everything will be open-source, but I have some missing code at the moment.
I am going to put the code online already.

Here is the missing code:
- Assign different "addons" (MPQ archives) to a certain private server
- Move the addons of a particular private server to the data folder when the game launches (and back)

That should be all to finish the basic launcher.

You can always add more code and modify it to your own needs.

This launcher can be used for any WoW patch.
It's not version specific.

You need visual studio 2010, and then you open the .sln file. Then the solution will open and you can compile the launcher.

I never used Visual Studio.
But where can i set the Patches, Addons and Realmlist?? :S

Public Property Name() As String

Do i have to put the Realmlist in there ?

The location to your "addons" (.MPQ archives) can be set here:
Public PatchLocation = "http://student.nmct.be/michiel.de.mey/"
And the location to your pathchlist can be set here:
Private ListLocation = "http://student.nmct.be/michiel.de.mey/patchlist.txt"

There is no documentation simply because it's too much work to write it. Remember that this is open-source and non-profit, so I'm working on this project in my spare time.
