I'd recommend being careful about compiling the login information for MySQL into the code. It may be paranoia, but I always feel that anything that goes into the code can be retrieved from the code. Since the user you're using has to have rights to update your account table, it's something you really want to protect.

The way I've seen a lot of them done is that they interface with a back end (other than MySQL) that does the database authentication for them. That way any code authenticating to the back end is client side...but if it's compromised all you have access to is what a user would have access to, rather than what a DB writer would have access to.

If you're not good at client/server programming (I'm sure not), the way that I did mine was using a backend web interface that the user authenticates to. It's just a bunch of PHP pages that return error/success codes. Not to say that's the best way to do it, client/server apps are much more elegant...but it works with little effort.

actually dofuscator thats all i got to say on that one lol try retrieving it from the code ill even tell you where it is in the code and give you binaries with my db information in them lol however youhavent paid attention to what said this is a version for the community it has none of that and uses an adaptation of peq updater not that it matters because you would need alot more then a normal pc's processing power to successfully decompile and decrypt the binaries

oh and one more thing as already stated the launcher DOES NOT update the mysql at all a web script does that i would have to say that client server apps that you suggest are by far more insecure because my way they have to decrypt a whole binary and decompile it where as your way all they gotta do is crack the packet structure

also if this gets a good response in time i want to get togeter with the main emu devs and see if they cant make a version that works with the public loginserver, not really for any reason other then one ease of use for the end user instead of having to make a sortcut and edit it and all that and for a means of making ls accounts besides the forums but i dunno ill have to talk privatly with the devs about that
