@djlaptop Thanks! We should indeed add a launch game button to get into the menu. About protection against starting multiple instances, we actually wanted to put some kind of overlay over the server browser after starting a game, so you cannot start multiple instances, but we did not get around to it yet. I've been quite busy lately but hopefully have some spare time next week @Terekhov, ShadowPrime Thank you. We would be honored if the RenegadeX developers would like to use this launcher as the default one. The project is open source, and we think it is properly structured, so anyone can change it to their liking. I have not had time to work on the project myself lately because of work, but hopefully I can squeeze in some time next week. We would also not have any problems with transfering the project to the developers, as long as it stays open source, so that anyone can contribute to it.

Thanks @ _ERROR_ We would like to, but the RenegadeX master server does not provide this information.

We've just released v0.2.0, you can download it here: https://github.com/Gohla/renegadex-launcher/releases/download/release%2F0.2.0/rxl-setup.msi There's two changes in this version: 1. Xciles completely redid the design of the launcher, it looks even more awesome now! 2. Instead of an executable we now ship an installer that installs the launcher and keeps it up to date. Enjoy!

We've added the server version to the server list and server detail, so you can now see which server to join. Download at: https://github.com/Gohla/renegadex-launcher/releases/download/release%2F0.1.3/RXL.exe I'll try to get auto updating working this weekend, so you don't have to check this post for updates all the time

@ sLaYer I've just released a new version that fixes several crashes, you can download it here: https://github.com/Gohla/renegadex-launcher/releases/download/release%2F0.1.2/RXL.exe. If that doesn't help, make sure you have the latest version of the .NET runtime intalled. You can download it from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40773. @ lone0001 Seems like we forgot to show that one, will add that

@ mjolnir Have you tried the latest (non-release) version: http://home.gohla.nl:1337/job/renegadex-launcher/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/RXL.WPFClient/bin/Release/RXL.exe? If not, try it out to see if that fixes your problem. Also make sure that you have .NET framework 4.5 installed, you can install it from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40773 @ Pvt. Gump Thanks, we're indeed thinking about adding an auto update in the future. @ Dellta_34, StonerMk2 Thanks! @ Jam Awesome, thanks for stickying!

Thanks I added this, it's not in the released version yet but you can download the version that has this feature from: http://home.gohla.nl:1337/job/renegadex-launcher/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/RXL.WPFClient/bin/Release/RXL.exe

@ [AoG]iTweek Thanks! We've open sourced the project, it can be found at: https://github.com/Gohla/renegadex-launcher. If you'd like to contribute code-wise, just fork the repository and make a pull request, or contact us if you'd like to do more regular work on the project. We also appreciate any issues or feature requests on the github repository. I've also fixed several crash bugs and made the error handling look a bit better, you can download the new version at: https://github.com/Gohla/renegadex-launcher/releases/download/release%2F0.1.1/RXL.exe

@ iran That is a bit offtopic, but it is completely different. You separate your logic completely from the view, and specify the view in XAML, which is kind of like an advanced markup language for GUIs. This way you get a nice separation between the view and the logic of your application. @ Rockfire We don't do anything special there, I think RenegadeX itself will always use your steam name if connected to steam. But I'm not entirely sure, maybe a RenegadeX developer could clarify. @ Wintermute That shouldn't be too hard, I'll write it down and see if I can implement that some time.

Thanks for all the feedback and comments I see a lot of people are interested in open sourcing this, I'll see if we can do that. @ martijnjs Indeed, Xciles based the design on Battlelog because we think it's one of the nicest server browser designs. Currently the width is fixed, which means it only maximises in the height. This is a bit weird, we might allow the width to be changed. The highlight colors for some buttons and the scrollbar still need to be styled properly @ Methanoid I was thinking of using IRC yes, like the current launcher does. Could also be used for some kind of friend system in the future. @ pr0master That is indeed an advantage of using Java. It is however possible to run .NET code on OSX and Linux using Mono. The downside is that WPF (the user interface library) is not cross platform, so we'd have to re-do the user interface design on other platforms. All of the code can be re-used though, since it does not use WPF. It might also be possible to run this on wine, I'll try this later. @ Pr0eX I'm pretty sure we're only using the WPF toolkit from Xceed (https://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/), which is free, but I'll ask to be sure.

Xciles and me made an alternative launcher because we weren't happy with the filtering and sorting capabilities of the current launcher. Here's a screenshot of the server browser: Latest download: https://github.com/Gohla/renegadex-launcher/releases/download/release%2F0.2.0/rxl-setup.msi The latest version of the .NET framework is required. You probably already have this installed, if not, you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40773 Source code: https://github.com/Gohla/renegadex-launcher Current features: Server browser Filter out empty, full and servers that require a password Search servers by name Sort servers by name, number of players and latency (ping) Copy address of server to clipboard (right click a server) Shows server version Auto updates launcher to latest version Note: the background, RenegadeX logo, icon, and map images are copyright of their respective owners (Totem Arts).
