I'd be interested in seeing the source for this. I have a launcher / patcher that I work on when it strikes me, be interesting to see how yours is done.

What does the Check For Updates button do?

well mine is actually pretty basic its written in c#.net with the .net connector from mysql.com its all fairly simple to be honest yours is probably far more supperior then mine is in all honesty

oh absolutly nothing well it opens a page in the panel on the right there that the server admin defines in the source before compiling the launcher basicly a downloads page i havent gotten to making an actual patcher as of yet
Im working on that part though very very slowly the drawback is that the server admins will have to compile this themselves and set up the mysql connection info in it by hand for it to work as it would be just plain moronic to have a config file with the database information there for all their players to see

Eventually i want to make a patcher server and this as the client where it sends the information to the patcher server which does the checking and database queries for account creation and so forth but thats a ways off yet but im open to suggestions

UPDATE I am making a archive of my source i will provide it to any dev or programmer (based on title) and after i rework a bit of it i will post the code here in a few hours

Just because no one posted, doesn't mean no one's interested. Minilogin is the only server interface we have that belongs to us, so anything that's done to better it is welcomed.
It will take some days before interested people come in the forums and even see this- most people here now, use public login so they are probably not interested. I like/use Minilogin , so I am also interested in this.
Don't worry about what other people think or want, you got something good here (and you know it), so keep working on it, and please keep us updated!

Ok I have made it a client server application binaries will be up on the site ASAP it works perfectly and the server handles all the authentication and ip updating i havent made it create the accounts yet so keep using the modified peq updater script i include in the zip files

Also i have added the abbility to either use md5 password encryption or turn it off and use plain text in the launcher config file

this requires .net 2.0 to run!
Just putting the finishing touches on the readme in the archives

TO THE EMU DEVS: if posible id like to get this included in the minilogin releases if you guys need the source just let me know.

There was a bug in the way the eqhost.txt file updates i am fixing it now sorry guys

Ok guys I have now fixed the bugs and the launcher server now does everything the peq updater script does except create new accounts ( Im working on that) There will be new binaries uploaded to the site shortly

UPDATE:

I have added a second server to the launcher system this server is for account creation from the launcher itself thereby taking out any and all need for using the available web scripts to create accounts or update ip addresses.

This should satisfy all the needs of those who wish to run a private serverbut allow more then people on their lan to play, and also give off theilusion that it is a public loginserver.

I dont remember if i mentioned it before but there are two ways to make the launcher work

By setting the MD5On key in the application file to On or Off(Case sensitive) the admin can decide whether to use md5 encrypted passwords (the worldserver http interface and most everything else for the gm stuff uses the md5 encryption for passwords) for added security or plaintext passwords...

I would really appreciate if people could post some questions requests for future featuresfor the launcher bugs they encounter and so forth so i know if anyone is actually bothering to use this lol

I Will have a zip file up on my site within the hour with the complete1.0 rc1 package (launcher file and the registration and authentication server binaries)
