R.O.L.eX

Ragnarok Online Launcher eXecutable (R.O.L.eX)

Info:
I started learning C# + .net and I thought why not create a client launcher and "kill 2 birds with 1 stone

and here is the result.I chose the name cuz well who doesn't like rolexes 

Screenshots:

Default Look

With BG

Features:

1) Configurable Window Title & Background (I am also planning to make buttons also configurable in future)
2) Settings button - invokes setup.exe (the file name is configurable within the ini file)
3) Register button - you can specify the website for registration in the ini file
4) Once you press Login Button (or press Enter) the Launcher minimizes to the background
  and rises back if the Client gets closed (Useful especially when you press cancel button during initial screens)
5) Starts updater before you log in to ensure RO folder is updated (can be turned off from ini file). Filename of the updater as well as
  Minimum No of days (default is 1) before next update can also be specified. - Credits to Shakto for the idea

EDIT:
Second version built for .NET 2.0 using WinForms - aka "Lazy Version"

(I still believe its far better to go for .NET 4.0 - you can include the installer for .NET along with your client installer when you provide it to players).

Let me know if you have any suggestions or face any issues with either version 

 (Flicker appearing in the LQ version cannot be avoided).

EDIT 2:
Planned Updates:
1) Skinnable Buttons & Customizable Button Locations.
2) Editable Names for Buttons + Labels.
3) Inbuilt Official & Private GRF Patcher.

EDIT 3:

Discontinued Further Updates since many are too lazy to get .NET 4 or their OS don't support it.

lol nice! you can add patcher and that will be 3 birds in one stone

 

[Neo-Mind]

ya actually i have been thinking of combining it with a client patcher. But i need to know how the current patchers work first

[Relzz]

[thanna]

sir is it for 64 bit only?

Im using windows XP, maybe theres a .net framework required for this

great work :3

 

[Neo-Mind]

yes it requires .NET framework 4 (guess i should have written that down). I initially started using WinForms but the background rendering had some flicker when you tried to resize/move plus some other graphic blunders were coming up so i switched to WPF.

lol, so ex this program will be used as my ragnarok server launcher then my players have to install .NET framework 1st right?

if yes then that's another problem for server owners guiding their lazzzzzyyyyy players running their server...

XP should have .Net 2.0 installed by default let me see if i can compile it for that. Alternatively you could add a .net installer when you provide the client to players 

EDIT: Nope you need .NET 4.0 - I will try to make an interface in WinForms and see if it works.

 

[Judas]

That would be nice :3

[Shakto]

Thx you, i added this link to the 2013 Ragexe topic

 

[Neo-Mind]

@Shakto I made it with the default framework (4.5) but that might have issues with WinXP. Dot NET4.0 is supported by WinXP SP3 so I will switch to that and recompile.

 

[Shakto]

No prob, i've another suggestion, can you add to the launcher the code of rsu-kro-rag-lite.exe, ppl will have to have their RO folder up to date, that'll be awesome !
