RoseZA Public Launcher Version 2.

Postby thriel on Tue Nov 01, 2011 5:23 pm

Ok so what this post is all about is basically this :

A 3 stage Launcher consisting of a Flash Interface with easy navigation, a Patch utility to update the client and a Dguard for basic Server protection ( against hacking programs and so forth )

If you run the Launcher.exe you will see a screen like this :

screenshot of the patching utility :

[ EDIT ]
Updated to Version 2.
- Now a full picture guide is included in the archived files ( called Guide.pdf )
- Updated some files for easier usage
- Cleaned up the layout a bit to look and feel smoother.

Here is link to Version 2 :
Link : http://www.roseza.co.za/upload/Public_Launcher_2.exe

Run the file, Extract and follow the included guide on how to setup.

I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has tested this.

enjoy ...

Won't it be easier to add browser support in neoncube? I mean that you could update data in real time.
Not saying anything bad about this just a thought.

Initially that was the plan. However there were problems with the updating the actual launcher, specially with multi server support and also the coding of new UI into neoncube with flash support.

its just easier and better this way. now you can treat your adverts and news and your UI separately to your patch launcher, it gives more options and more freedom.

Our version of the launcher has only 4 files and 1 folder, since we hard coded all the links and everything into the launcher itself. this version everything is external so users can edit the links and customize as much as they want.

As i said in my post above, if the server is well established and they have their links that are set in stone, i could easily make a customised version of the launcher for them, one with all the links they want and stuff hard coded ofcourse, can add or remove or edit anything to suit their server.

just email me : thriel@roseza.co.za

send me the following :
-Names of all the links, and the web adress each one connects to.
-Your server IP ( if you have multiple servers then each ones name and IP )
-Your patchlist IP and path. ( if you have multiple servers then send both )
-Sample of your logo
-State if you want the launcher with or without gameguard


And ill see what i can come up with and email you your launcher back.


This is how our launcher is currently looking like this week :

Ofcourse those are just screenshots, but the pumkins move, the bats fly around on the launcher, the news text has a typewriter effect and scrolls in....

the other screenshot you can see i sent through a advertisement of specials we have, both screenshots are of the same thing, the advert changes into the logo.

look here for an example ( this is our current logo ) :

In a few days i will change the launcher theme and logo to show fireworks and stuff to fit the guyfox event ...

I forgot to mention one of the most important features of the launcher....

Every link and button has a popup tooltip. this is very important for first time noob players that dont know there way around anything.

for example holding mouse over the Item Mall button will pop up a message that says :

"Purchase Rare Items such as weapons, armor, carts and other goodies here.."


Holding over forums will popup :

"Here you can post feedback, bug reports, communicate with staff and players."


and so forth, these little popups can be handy for a 8 or 9 year old player that has never heard of things like item mall or has never used a voting script before...

I have also included a handy little "settings" app ( its part of the launcher packadge, just keep it in the root directory ) written by one of our coders. it allows you to change a bigger variety of settings than the default triggerdetect does, including ANY resolution, can even specify your own custom resolution for Rose.
