Epoch Cry Launcher - 1.0 [updated 20-10-2014]

[Cryten]

Hi @ all

sorry for my bad english,
 
this is my little idea and project. I play on different maps and it annoys me repeatedly enter the parameters and the DayZ Commander taking so long to bring out updates and I kept the paramater needs to change... *it sucks*! :P My friends have the same opinion! So I started to write me a small tool. When it is finished I will publish it.
 
Update:
I have the launcher now rebuilt. In the next beta you can select the map, for example Taviana / Panthera ....!
 
 

 
 

 

What can the tool at the moment?
 
* Installed Beta Patch 103718 (Menu -> Install Patch)
* Install Epoch

* Automatically finds the Arma2 & Arma2 OA installation

* Change another Epoch Maps(Panthera/Taviana/Namalsk)
* Delete Epoch (Menu -> Delete Epoch)
* Costum Connect to your own IP(3 IPs)
* Create Desktop Shortcut (Menu -> Shortcut)

* Server infos(Name, Player)

Installation:

* Install Net Framework 4.0 HERE
* Start the launcher and make a Desktop shortcut, you find the option in the Menustrip!

* Make sure you have installed the beta patch!
* Done and Have Fun :)

 

 

System:
 
* Windows 7/8/8.1
* Net Framework 4.0
 
 
What is planned?
 
Install other Maps (Taviana 2.0/Namalsk 0.741/Panthera 1.8)

Better Serrver handling(Add/Edit/Show)

 
 
What will I need maybe?
 
* Sponsors <---
* Quantity Time
* Ambition and fun :)

NO WAY!! You read my mind.. I'm actually talking with my friend about this exact same project right now.  

 

Universe always listens :)

 

 

EDIT: No wait.. Our idea is for admins to automatically install and configure addons for their chosen dayz mod.  

i.e bloodbag, tow/lift etc.. Dam, but yours looks almost identical. Great minds :P

[Cryten]

what a coincidence :P

 

your idea is for admins and my is for clients. exactly right what the epoch community missing ;)

 

if I can do it, I will publish tomorrow a test version. i search a good freehoster for epoch files!

[MatthewK]

I wish you the best of luck, it's a brilliant idea :)

Hi,

This looks like a great tool that the community could use since DotJosh is sitting on his hands with regards to the various maps Epoch has. Thus, I could help you by hosting the download link on my web host as a mirror. If you are interested that is.

[Cryten]

Gladly, I need that is still a place where I have the files uploading. Who wants me space provide, can I like to write a PM

 

important it will cause a lot of traffic :)

[ozersk]

Connect to ip is working?
you won't tell what code for this connection?

[Judge Bread]

Yes PM me and we can discuss something. Hopefully it wont be the only source to get the files from otherwise the bandwidth will be an issue. I do have unlimited bandwidth with my account with bold lettering in the T & Cs stating "fair usage policy" etc.

Regardless, just PM me and we will see if we can work something out.

[Cryten]

Update 

 

first release :)

 

check 1. Post

 

Have fun :)

[Ghost]

Launch Taviana and Launch Panthera buttons should be flipped???

[vbawol]

source?

[Radiix]

source?

^This

 

* You need admin rights from computer!

 

I dont like tools that are made by the community without actually knowing how its working.

[Cryten]

Launch Taviana and Launch Panthera buttons should be flipped???

 

oh year i see it

 

I was probably a bit tired, it was very late :)

update to 1.1 fix this problem

 

i added a better link to download

[vbawol]

Not that I don't think this is great, but how can we know that this launcher is legit? If you provide the source on github we maybe able to officially support this, Otherwise it is "Use at your own risk".

[Cryten]

Ok here is a example für detect version of mods

 

the tool can now only start the mods an auto connect to server. Updater not working atm.

[Cryten]

its not a stealer ...lol

 

here my another project with 90'000 downloads: 

 

you can trust me :)

[Glenn]

you can trust me :)

 

 

I think for this _software_ to be trusted, you need to release the source code on Github, or a location where the code can be examined for key logging content.

 

It is nothing personal against you, it is just that people have had bad experience with launchers.

[Cryten]

vbawol had access to the source code. The source code remains closed in the future.

 

It is being developed with a view to arma3 Epoch, and even then only there is also a new version.

 

in the moment, about 50 people test the launcher, more than I need at all to fix bugs.

 

best regards cryten

Update to Beta 1!
 
I have rebuilt the launcher!

* Install Epoch
* Change Epoch Logo
* Delete Epoch
* Costum Connect to your own IP(3 IPs)
 
 
For Error: "Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_Dubbing_Counterattack'"
SOLUTION:
1. Go to .\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\
2. Copy the content of the 'addons' folder.
3. Go to .\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Common\
4. Paste and replace/merge the files.
(5. Additionally, copy the entire Addons folder into A2OA's main folder.)

WHY: The required animations are in the ARMA 2 addon folder. Copying them over to ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead will also add them to where DayZ can find them. Not everybody are required to do this. (Assuming they don't have the error.)


DOWNLOAD at the first post!

best regards Cryten and thx for all Testers :)^

if there would be a 4th option for namalsk and a 4th line for ip/port it would be perfect for me/us...
maybe you can add this?

 

comming soon :)

[Cryten]

Update Beta 2:

• Automatically find the path to Arma2 and Arma2 OA
• Launcher does not need to be copied in Arma2 OA folder!
• Problem in start parameters has been fixes(no more errors on join to server)
• Maps select(Chernarus(Default)/Tavi/Panthera/Namalsk)
   
• more maps? Pls reply here(Mod Parameters and Download link)!

Best regards Cryten

Would it be possible to have it set up so that server owners can offer this to their players with their servers and server name on the launcher so that the players jst go to the website, download this launcher and have everything set up for them?  Server Info wise I mean.

at the moment you can edit the launcher.ini for your purposes.

 

 

launcher.ini

[Name1]
Name=MGT Chernarus Server
[IP1]
IP=188.165.250.119
Port=2302
[Name2]
Name=MGT Panthera Server
[IP2]
IP=188.165.250.119
Port=3302
[Name3]
Name=MGT Namalsk Server
[IP3]
IP=188.165.250.119
Port=5302

edit this an repack this into a zip an giv the launcher your community. 

 

that should work at the moment.

 

 

 

Edit: The "Epoch_Cry_Launcher.exe" create the ini file at start! but you can create a new and copy this into the launcher folder. the launcher detect the launcher.ini.

[Cryten]

ah ok .... i have the arma2oa folder in this parameters....

 

 

fixed this bug in launcher "Beta6". Release at 8:00-9:00 pm german time zone
