EQEmuLauncher V2.00 Preview

[Rumzuck]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know, that the rewrite of the launcher - EQEmuLauncher V2.0 - is making a lot of progress and there should be a beta version soon I guess..

Here is a list of some features that are already done:
- API
- Automatic updating of the launcher itself
- FileDownloader with speed and estimated time remaining
- Options (well.. still got some things missing, but the main things are in)
- ServerList (+ server select)
- Auto Client Type detection
- Server File Patching
- EverQuest folder Patching (mostly)
- Launching EverQuest
- Other stuff i cant really remember right now...
- multiple client support

there are many features to come before 2.0 will be released like:
- server patch settings (optional filegroups like custom UI files and other things - api is good to go)
- everquest repair (complete filecheck of your client + eqclient.ini repair)
- possibility to restore your client (back to original without custom files)
- monitor servers
- eqhosts.txt / eqclient.ini administration
- registration at eqemulator.net right through the launcher
- everquest client finder
- wineq support
- web interface for GMs (only admin interface done yet)
- and many more


Here is a little preview..

Good stuff!

[Rumzuck]

progress is coming along...

as you can see in the roadmap, everything besides some graphics is done for the beta release...

theres also a html-based serverlist now, so graphicwise we can go nuts now..
this is how it looks so far, but akkadius will create a sweet layout for it before release of version 2.0

Yessir! Mind = blown... loving it :D

I have a suggestion of a feature that I've always thought would be convenient.

What if when you clicked on a server there would be an area that gave the information about that server? As it stands you have to go to http://www.eqemulator.org/index.php?pageid=serverlist for that. Stuff like server type, website, description, etc.

[Rumzuck]

thanks for the feedback byrjun, that will be implemented soon..

EQEmuLauncher Beta Phase started. Unfortunately Project 1999 didnt join the beta yet.
Neither reached nilbog nor rogean.

great that you enjoy it :)


for the beta, there have been 124 tries to update p99, too bad there are no files for p99 there yet, but they will come eventually

Interesting I've never really thought the current one needs changed, but one you developed looks cool I guess.

Just installed 1.7 Beta. The thing I miss most from 1.2 is the bigger buttons. It's more a copycat of SOE Launchers of 2013 than a tribute to EQ Patcher c. 2000. I do understand it's not just a Project 1999 Launcher, however.

I like Beta 1.5 layout better.

erm, bigger buttons in 1.2 than in 1.7? the buttons in 1.7 are kind of WAY bigger (besides the options button maybe) :)
