Custom Launcher

[Iluvatar / Madness]

I had enough of always having to open the classic nwn game launcher and all that stuff, so I said to myself, why not my own launcher! That's what I did tonight, I still have many small, but useful thing I want to add it.

If you want to try it out go ahead link is at the bottom of the post. If you do try it, don't hesitate to send suggestion about thing I could add on it.

Right now, it doesn't support keeping in mind many different server IP because I'm a lazy person and because it's late, I'll add that tomorrow.

Beware, the gui is ugly I know, but at least it's useful  

I'm doing this mainly because I enjoy doing it and because I want something more adapted to my current need.

Custom Launcher here! Drop the .exe in your Neverwinter Night folder and launch it!

-Preset profile with password and username
-Remember your username
-Direct connection for a quick launching of the game on desired server

-Can open the toolset, support NWNTX Loader

I'm curious, what's the difference between this and the original, why is it better, what annoyed you about the old one?

Just asking to get an idea of what it is and what I can expect from it if I decide to try it out

Why do you need a launcher? Just run nwmain.exe

Well, first you don't have to go through the cinematic when the games open.

It keep in mind all your different username for you.

It's a direct connection based on the batch file, it actually use a batch file...

I made this because I wanted something more adapted to what I like, I thought I'd share it with other because I'm sure I'm not the only one who want something more adapted to their need.

Also, I'll keep working on it and updating it, adding new feature and stuff as long as I have new idea of stuff to add on it.

Right now this is just a very rough draft. But it works swiftly and has no bug... for now

I don't like that launcher... and the one I make regroup more stuff in one place than the classic one. Right now it only support login in game, but I suppose I could add the toolset on it at some point.


EDIT:
An other reason why I've made this, is because I like doing these thing

Can I make a tiny suggestion?

Maybe have a drop-down menu to select a server IP like there is with the player name, so you don't have to manually punch in the IP's every time.

Yup, I've already planned to add that.

I just need a bit more time before adding that because I'm changing the way I save the player name and doing the IP saving at the same time. Both will work the same way, I'll release the two at the same time 
Though right now the default IP that always appear when you open it is the Ravenloft one.

Oh, and I've posted the launcher there  Here!
