[Release]Source Code for Play.exe

[xI NiNJA DuCKey]

This is a short/Noob Release.
If you want to make a new Launcher for your Private Server, Here's a few things you might want and a Semi-Guide.

Create a New Windows form application.
I would recommend 4 or 5 Buttons, A play button, Site button, Vote button, Exit button and If you like a Credits button.
For the Play Button

Process.Start(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\conquer.exe", "blacknull");

For a Vote Button And You can ulter the address for the site

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.xtremetop100.com/in.php?site=YourXtremeTopID");

For a Credits button

MessageBox.Show("Credits to bla bla bla");

This is something Ultimation N CurseOfExcalibur helped me with, credits to him.
Create a label and this is the code. It will show the patch number, and you could probly make it into a auto-patcher xD

I used a switch statement, This went up above the Play.exe code.

switch (version)
            {
                case 1001: MessageBox.Show("Client is up to date. Have fun playing =)"); break;
                default: MessageBox.Show("Please Patch Client up"); break;
            }

And to read it, Put this under Form1_Load_1

if (System.IO.File.Exists("version.dat"))
            {
                label1.Text = string.Format("Client Version: {0}", System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("version.dat")[0]);
                version = Convert.ToInt32(System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("version.dat")[0]);
            }
            else
                label1.Text = "Error 101: Unable to find version.dat";

Press thanks if it helped at all.

Because you didn't define version? int version = 0;

And you XD, Lemme add it.

[Paralyzer[GM]]

so like

switch (int version = 0)
            {
                case 1001: MessageBox.Show("Client is up to date. Have fun playing =)"); break;
                default: MessageBox.Show("Please Patch Client up"); break;
            }

AND

if (System.IO.File.Exists("version.dat"))
            {
                label1.Text = string.Format("Client Version: {0}", System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("version.dat")[0]);
                version = 0; Convert.ToInt32(System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("version.dat")[0]);
            }
            else
                label1.Text = "Error 101: Unable to find version.dat";

im sure thats NOT right but i need help were to define it ?

Oh and

Process.Start(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\conquer.exe", "blacknull");

should be

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() +  "\\conquer.exe", "blacknull");
