February 13th

An update has been released!

• A lot of bugs were fixed.
• Now the application is movable.
• Now the login authentication sends the hashed password and MAC Address is no longer used.
• Welcome/Home page added. At the home page you can stop loading or refresh the servers list, see your friends online, your last server played and your pending friendship requests.
• Direct connection can be done by the Home page.
• Now you can choose between local server query or remote server query(this one uses a third party server to do the query), this choose can be done in "settings" section.
  NOTE: By default the query is done locally.
• Status bar shows the current players online in all servers.
• Server's details also shows the count of friends who are playing there.
• Added interface for management of your favorites list.

The update will be done once you open your Launcher. If you prefer you can download the updated Launcher by clicking here

Its not working in my pc

Can you be more specific? Did you receive some kinda error or anything?

Yup, every time I tried. I'm using windows 10 .net 4.5. Also I know that you don't know how to deal with this stuff. (perhaps you do?)
My firewall isn't supposed to block stuff without telling me first.

*To use the application you need at least version 4.5.1 of the .NET Framework and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015.
.NET Framework 4.5.1

Pending accounts activated.

It tooks very long time to load the server list. While the official browser just took about 5 seconds!

Due the server's query is done outside the application :/
Then it caches all informations needed to not do all queries over again.

Why not query it directly?

Troubles, I'm working on it right now

When we press the login button after putting our credentials

Everytime? Did you check Auto-Login? Can you check if your Firewall is blocking the launcher?

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.




How exactly this happened?

I'm working on password's encryption in the application, but you need to know that the authentication is done by outside. And of course the passwords are encrypted in database.

Why is registering even needed? I don't see any function that would need an external party.

How you intends save your list of friends and associate with you? or your informations?

And also there's new features that are coming like this one.

Small suggest: Private messages with friends

Just like any other browser: save it locally.
Still doesn't answer my question why you'd need someone MAC address.

Say how exactly should be done, the search for friend, request system, accepting system, action system, all of this and more saving locally.
And about the MAC Address is to make the client's session safe.

You just add nicknames you want to follow to your local list of friends. When you open the browser it looks around in the servers for that nick and tells you if they're online. I don't see the problem.

So, I would be friend of anyone I want? even if that person don't want that? And if I want to see what servers my friend played recently?

The launcher looks OK but I'm also not sure why MAC addresses need to be sent, or why passwords are sent in the clear over HTTP.

I got problems on sending passwords hashed, but I've already solved that and will be working in the next update.
And the MAC address is for check that the client's session will not be violated. But if this really bother you guys, I can remove it.

Not gonna lie, I can't figure out why his name is green either ᖍ(ツ)ᖌ

EDIT: The forum was miscounting his posts it seems and giving him a color meant for people with 500+ posts. I removed the color for that group.

(Sorry)

Too bad :/
I gonna cry now, excuse me...


Btw @Stormeus, do you have any comment for the launcher?

Some kind of lu beta tester?

Those are blue for instance @Murdock and @Shadow but George might have that color for a specific reason.

I'm a nice and cool guy, that's your answer

That was just a joke, I never remove any credits and tell all my friends who remove credits to put them back on. Again, how are you green?

Good to know. I'm fine

Well, release the basic version with everything! Player's play time and all! We would love it even more!

In the basic version you only can see your playing time.

That's bad! One question: Can we delete our account by PMing you?

Yeah.

Havent tried it out yet, but do you think you could add joining and chatting in a server without starting the game? ;o

What's you mean? I don't get it.

Looks nice, but wouldnt players be able to steal each others "name accounts?" by changing name

That's why you need an account to use the launcher.

p.s. Instead of injecting threads you can also use the vcmp protocol (vcmp://connect)

That's how it worked before, but doing this I need the VC:MP Browser to make the connection and that's not what I want.

This is very amazing! I have a feeling that I can very easily decompile this. Also how are you green?

VCMP_Launcher.Form1
"private string m_Devs = "George";"
*evil laugh*
But seriously, the source is very good. Good job!

See, that's why I don't release the source code.


About the emails, the email server is having troubles, I will check out what's going. All accounts were activated!
