Default Unofficial Project 1999 Launcher

Hey all,

I made a project 1999 launcher and I wondered if you guys could test it for me

http://www.freshinc.co.uk/bolly/setup.exe

It will ask you for your eqgame.exe path and also copy in the correct eqhost.txt file

Ideas for the future:
* Pull down RSS patch notes from vbulletin
* Automatically patch latest spell fixes
* Automatically patch in the Default UI fixes
* Automatically patch in the most favourite UI's

Hey bud, was the error:

'Error writing file, is it read only?'

Then that's happening when the launcher is saving the path of EQGame.exe to the XML file

When you load up the patcher it is supposed to ask for Admin permissions so it is given the rights to write into your c:\program files\project99 folder. Did you click no? :-)

If you want to see what it's doing take a look at the SaveXML() function in the source code!

This flipping rocks... I will be implementing this tonite!

Make sure to use the classic P99 Icon with it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i clicked yes when it asked me for admin rights [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] <== developer my self [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] i cant see a xml file in the folder, so i guess thats it, cant write the config file ...


i wont try it again now thou, since sometimes the admin message locks up the running EQ, so i be testing it more later =)

It does not update spell files - i listed that as a future feature to automatically patch the ones from the Getting started guide (and other stuff!).

I could probably just bundle the spell files with the installer if that's what you'd all prefer but i think a patcher would be a more elegant solution!

Let me know what to do :-)
