Tool L2.exe (Launcher)

[Mobius]

My version of L2.exe launcher made with vb.Net

Using this program you will be able to use the retail client without having to modify your game client.

 

The default IP is set to 127.0.0.1 for local testing.

You can alternatively create a file named "connect.ini" in your system folder that contains your desired IP.

 

Sources: https://github.com/MobiusDevelopment/L2

Release: https://github.com/MobiusDevelopment/L2/releases

 

*You will need Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (Windows 7 SP1 +) to be able to run it.

*Tested on HighFive+ clients.

Ummm, whats the point? You hooked IP from L2.ini but You add'ed it connect.ini - whats the differance then?
You can run the game without "editing" Your game client by creating *.bat file + _L2.ini copy with changed IP.

But no one does that - beside client modders. Private servers will use L2.exe + L2.ini witch changed IP or use
SmartGuard or L2SGuard with binded IP in L2.exe or - like it is in L2SGuard, with completely removed L2.exe.

Modders - don't care if they have to use L2.bat or Your L2.exe + connect.ini.

But maybe Im missing a point...? T_T

EDIT:
Ultimate share whould be executable file with option to bind server IP inside unpacked L2.exe, although, someone
will have to create liblary with unpacked L2.exe for each protocol revision :)

Already mentioned what is its purpose.

-Avoid client modifications, in a proper maner.

-Use latest untouched retail client to connect to your server.

-Easy to use.

I would highly recommend using or altering Zoey's code: https://github.com/Zoey76/L2

Really cool project. I was looking for something like that for a long time. Thanks for linking it.

EDIT:

Nevermind, lol. It's just shell>cmd>run bin with paramns. It's not what I was hoping for  :happyforever:

A shellexecute running L2.bin with parameters ? lol

[Mobius]

Un-fucking-believable...

Calling shell to call cmd to run l2.bin...

Yes, really cool.

 

Elfo, learn what a compiler does and then come back to post your arguments.

Bitch please what is this 2005? First program language people tend to learn because handlers?

Beside beginners all-purpose symbolic instruction code

 

Let's ask all people who used VB why they switched to C#

I am well aware of it. I just can't stand people coding in VB in 2017.

It's written in C++ so you don't need .net to run it.

 

And btw Avve the point would be that you can launch other services if you want to  when you can create your own l2 exe

 

"written in C++"

 

FUCKS SAKE
