Custom Launcher.exe for your server!

[Marlo]

OK so for the past couple of days i have been working on this (was quite annoying i must admit) but today i finished it!

So yeh its a custom WoW launcher for your server!
Screenshot:


Features:
Uses HTML to display the info so its easy to change
Very very simple interface
Has an option to change the realmlist when the user opens the launcher

*EDIT*oh yeh almost forgot
IF YOU ADD A HTML LINK PLEASE MAKE SURE THE TARGET IS BLANK!!!
<a href = "http://link.com" target = "_Blank">

It uses HTML to display the information and it still has a few bugs which i intend to iron out.
So after you have downloaded the file you should be faced with a few files.
MarlosLauncher.exe - The actual launcher program
LauncherConfig.conf - The config file for the program (If you send out the launcher to your users then this file must be sent with it!)
README.txt - Feel free to edit this file with some user instruction (yeh cos i...forgot)
Background-editable.psd - This is just the background image with the content cut out. makes editing easier.
Launcher.htm - this is the file that your users will see when they open launcher. So you must upload it to some webspace
Images - just the images for the launcher, must be uploaded to the same directory as launcher.htm

If you intend to distribute this file to your users then all you need to send them are two files. MarlosLauncher.exe and LauncherConfig.conf.
Before you send it out though you need to edit the Conf file. Just open it up and there should only be two lines. The first line is the location of where you hosted your Launcher.htm and file and Images folder. This HAS TO BE A WEBSITE!!!!!!!!
In other words it has to be hosted somewhere or it wont display anything.

On the second line you should put your realmlist. The launcher has an option to change the realmlist to that of your server when it is opened so for that to work it needs a realmlist to change to.


So now you have it all sorted, you now need to edit the launcher.htm file! If you are knowledgeable about HTML then this is no big task as its pretty straight forward (i have Commented most of the important bits) Once you have filled it with news ect just upload it to some webspace (if you run a web server on your own computer then you can put it on there too) Then just put the address in the first line of the conf file and then your ready to give it to your users!

If ive left anything out or there are bugs in the app just PM me or post them here.

Hope you enjoy the app!
