Foreword:

When I started to write this little application, it was only thought to enable players who have Gameforge Live installed, to start aion without the need of starting GF Live too. While writing and testing, I found out that there are much more usefull possibilities with this sort of starting the game. Here they are:

Features:

-Enables starting the game multiple times on the same Computer. (This way you can play on one computer with the same user with different accounts multiple times at once. What this is usefull for? For example if you want to give something from your 1. Account to your 2. Account.)

-Enables GF Live users to avoid the starting of GF Live.

-Disables the game's versions Checking and also skips the Starting Client

-Enables you to run the game even if your Client is outdated.

-Disables FileChecking of the game. (Files are no more checked for their trueness before the game starts)

Known Issues:

It might happen that players sometimes loose the gold-paket effect. This means, if you have GP active and run the game with this starter, the GP effect won't be active. If you start the game after that normal again you will have your GP effect as always - it doesn't delete it, just sometimes miss or ignores it when starting with the Starter.

Usage:

1. Run the Aion Starter and check your language (for now, it only has German and English, let me know if you need any other languages, too).

2. Click the Browse button and select the Path to your Aion.bin. It can be found in your installationsdirectory, depending on if you have GF Live or not.
Exampledirectory for GF Live:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GameforgeLive\Games\DEU_deu\AION\Download\bi n32\aion.bin
(Varies, depending on where you installed it and what language you use)

3. Click "Start" and wait until the game started.

Additional Information:

This program was written by me in C# with Visual Studio 2012 for Desktop.

Ideas for Later Versions

Please let me know if you want one of the below listed features (or any other features) in a later version.

-Add remember settings option to avoid annoying repeats of setting up the Starter.

-Add autorun setting (skip the setting window and just start the game with the before set settings from the last execution of the programm)

how can i activate 64bit aion for a private server?!
i know it works but how

Actually it only supports the official EU Servers. I'll add support for private and NA servers later.

not work für private server ! ;)

As I said in my post above this one, it actually only supports the official EU servers (german and English language). I need to find out the other language shortcuts to be able to start the game via this programm in any language.
For example:
...-charnamemenu -lang:deu == German
...-charnamemenu -lang:enu == English
etc
And I must add some bar for the Port and Ip-Adress for private server so that you can change it. Actually it uses the ones from the official servers so that is why it doesn't work with private Servers.

Spanish language, please, thanks ^^

I need the client path of the spanish launcher to enable the spanish language. If you can tell it to me, I'll be able to add it.
Please make a right click on your Game Link, choose properties and tell me the gamepath. For example the german one is:
D:\Program Files (x86)\GameforgeLive\Games\DEU_deu\AION\Download\bi n32\aion.bin" -ip:79.110.83.80 -port:2106 -cc:2 -noauthgg -ls -charnamemenu -lang:deu
I wrote the thing I need to know in big letters, so you better understand it. I need to know what is there in your path.

I know what you mean, im not silly in those things, but there's nothing more after the "aion.bin" nothing like -ip or -lang: , i guess im not doing it wrong.

I'm still working on the remember function and got another idea for some autorun function, but more about that later. Enjoy!

sounds good. I have not tested it yet, but it sound promising. the fact that you can run old versions of the game and the checker not detecting it.if it works ofc.anyone tested this on NA?

You can remove the directory browser by reading the value from these registry locations:

64 bit OS:
GF: HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Gameforge4d\GameforgeLiv e -> InstallDir
NC: HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\NCWest\Aion -> BaseDir

32 bit OS probably has the same just remove the Wow6432Node in the paths.

Force your app to run as admin or registry access will fail.
