RO Credentials

• About
  Simple and tiny client launcher+login. Has no prerequisites and runs on all Windows versions.
• Known Issues
  [aavc] This tool is not safe for computers running Avast Anti-Virus.
• Download
  binary, reference source
• Q & A
  • Is it customizable?
    Yes.
  • How?
    With resource editing tools, such as ResourceHacker. All text and icons can be customized. Settings can be edited in an INI file, instructions on how to do that are provided in the example files together with the launcher.
  • What is "reference source"?
    You cannot compile it (unless you provide the missing components), but see what functionality the latest binary contains.
  • I want it to be xyz.exe, but it does not read the INI file. Why?
    You have to match the INI name to the EXE name.

    rocred.exe -> rocred.ini
    mytest.exe -> mytest.ini

     

  • How can I embed an INI file into the EXE?
    Add the INI file as RCDATA resource named CONFIG with ResourceHacker.
  • How do I use background skinning?
    Create a file named bgskin.bmp (magenta #ff00ff is considered transparent). You can also embed the file as BITMAP resource with the name BGSKIN. Window size is adjusted to the bitmap size, position of controls must be set in the INI. Buttons can be skinned as well, see the INI for names.
    
  • Can I add custom buttons, if so, how many?
    Yes, see the INI template for details. There is no defined limit on how many, the only constraints are available memory, GDI resources and INI size limit on some platforms. By the way, custom buttons can be skinned as well.
  • Why does the client not auto-login when I press "Start" / Why do I have to login twice?
    The client must be 2010-08-04aRagexeRE or newer and must not have the "Restore Login Window" patch and should have the "Use SSO Login Packet" patch.

Awesome! thanks.

Version 1.2.2

Per request, updated to allow single instances of each login window only + setting to override the feature.

[Rytech 392]

Great looking program and quality made just like all your other tools. 2 thumbs up.

last updated 2013/08/18 ? i knew it!! Ai4rei is from the future 

[Ai4rei 321]

Considering the fact, that I have Wednesday 5 times a week, not much surprise. ^^~

[Igniz 8]

Such a powerful tool

 

Suggestion:

Maybe a config embeder?

[Ai4rei 321]

Version 1.2.3

Per request, added support for configuration embedding. Use the /embed command line switch to embed active INI file.

[Ai4rei 321]

Version 1.3.0

Added settings to lock down some features, intended for paranoia defaults in embedded INI (see the included INI for details). Fixed the client could fail with error "Requires elevation to execute" when using Start or Replay buttons.

 

Anyone interested in some basic skinning (background), something to the effect of RO Patcher Lite skinning (put a bgskin.bmp file next to the .exe to try) ?

[quesoph 105]

Hello,

 

[ROCred]; Whether or not user name is remembered (0 = No, 1 = Yes).CheckSave =1

 

When set to 1

 

Replay, Okay, and Close button names disappear..

[Ai4rei 321]

Unable to reproduce. Mind provide rocred.exe and the whole INI + OS Version to accomplish this?

[mofo 2]

Lol, I thought I was the only one. It happened to me too. Using win 7.

[quesoph 105]

I just downloaded it here: http://ai4rei.net/p/rocred
a couple of minutes ago.

and changed this:

 

[ROCred]; Whether or not user name is remembered (0 = No, 1 = Yes).CheckSave =1

 

OS: Windows 7 32bit.

 

rocred.7z

[Ai4rei 321]

Thanks, the user name made the difference.

 

Version 1.3.1

Fixed missing button labels, when user name was saved.

[mrlongshen 22]

LOVE THIS VERY MUCH !! 

[Samuel 83]

Hmm, seems the embed is a little bit exploitable,

 

Example:

 

I have embedded my exe with the settings I wanted for example: SecondInstance=0

I have run the embedded exe - It will produce a new .ini file which can be edited SecondInstance=1 and the embedded settings will be gone,

[Ai4rei 321]

That's intended. The external INI is supposed to override embedded settings.

 

SecondInstance is a convenience setting, if you, for whatever reason, want to run two launchers on the same machine (since it defaults to 0 even without embed). If you want to prevent multiple client windows, you have to hex the client to behave like that, as the launcher has no* means to prevent that.

 

 

* Actually is does, but that's considered evil and some methods require administrator rights.

hi Ai4rei just thinking how to embed the bgskin & rocred.ini with the ro cred? I'm new with your log in application.

[Ai4rei 321]

The bgskin is a tryout accompanied by a question; there is no skin support implemented, yet.

 

INI is embedded by creating the file, then calling rocred with the /embed command line switch, which will create a new copy of rocred with the embedded INI.

Does it support 2012 clients? Because I can make it run, but it prompts always my ID is unregistered.

you should diff your client to enable SSO Login...
