The Project Reality Launcher

[h3killa]

I would really like to help but I really don't know much about coding for BF2 if anyone is willing to help me learn I would love to help in this.

I learned (and am still learning) here:
C++ Language Tutorial

After that, try OpenGL, or GTK+.

Go though the tuts linked by Jonny, im doing them as I type

If you want to learn/code C++ this app will be usefull for you: The Dev-C++ Resource Site

Its a simple C++ editor (very simular to notepad, just easier for C++ coding

I agree with intergrating a TS and Vent option for the final version... That would be really nifty.

Perhaps conjoin them all into a Communications tab.

Then for all other programs maybe include a tab that allows you to specify your own shortcuts, like if people want to add a fraps button to their launcher, xfire etc. A simple text field where you can enter the target of a shortcut and specify the new buttons name.

Now that would be neat :]



And of course don't forget the 1337h4x tab unlockable once you get 50 sniper headshots.




This thread has given me a lot of new ideas for our FS launcher, think I will head over to FS IRC right now.

TY2D2 check your imbox

Is it worse than just start the game your self?

I have contacted the Author of the FS Launcher, awaiting reply.

Well I probably wont be able to just 'do' a launcher. It may take some time, being the biggest project I have ever undertaken.

Coding generally goes crap until you are more familiar with it. You start being able to feel your way through it, and just knowing what to use for some situations, after a while.

EDIT:
How far through the tut are you?

Any chance of you writing a parsing function to take a null-terminated string of text of the format <string1>=<int1>, and returning <string1> and <int1>?

Take your time, 'do' was the wrong word, my exams are in may

I understand half of that, stringsd is non numerical text ( hello world is an example). Parsing functions I got to, is not stuck in my head, and a null termianting strin of text = do want in my brain.

Im just going through the tuts, making small programs, simple calculator programs.

i agree a launcher would make starting up multiple apps a LOT easier
