remove patch line :

HTML Code:
<!-- UPDATE_SERVER : patch.rappelz.gamepower7.com -->
add this :

HTML Code:
<div id="str-btn" style="position:absolute; overflow:hidden; left:590px; top:430px; width:123px; height:74px; z-index:1"><a href="action://LAUNCH/"><img src="img/btn_start.png"  border=0 width=123 height=74></a></div>
sample way


Or just waiting for Devs ...

I'm not sure if the Launcher is packed, but if it is, it won't be possible to do this.
You basically have to redirect to a different page, but the URL is hardcoded.

Edit:
By the way, it's quite simple to code such a launcher at your own, I did it 2 times now.
The first time I made the same without having a patchengine, which I released [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].
Now some days ago I did it again, but included a patch engine.
Visual Studio C++ MFC HTML-Dialog based application.
Navigate to your page, edit the _OnBeforeNavigate2-Event, that's all.

MrStubborn, thanks for the respond. I've tried that and still it won't connect to the Update Server. i've tried multiple ways as well, the only way for it to launch is, have the Arabic Sframe + updates which messes up the entire game text.

Thanks for your help again,

I'll be waiting for an advanced Dev to look into it and I'll be still trying to see what I can do.

Thank you very much MrStubborn. This worked like a charm really thanks!


now I just need to find an English launcher from retail that I can modify into, so I get rid of the scruples text in the game NPCs and login buttons etc. :)


Again thank you very much MrStubborn :)
