RS2 launcher

[tone]

Patrician S is going to build us a launcher which will help with doing the mod foldered campaigns.

It'd be good to decide what to use for the background image.....I guess some Romans?

Hey Tone,

I saw your request for a launcher...
Since you helped RTR before, I thought "ah, why not"

Here's an image of the RTR launcher I created:


On a small side-note... I can add the preferences edit button, but you would have to ask HouseOfHam if you may use his preferences editor... I can however for sure add thos buttons like deleting map.rwm and the shortcut target line switches.

If you're interested, then I need the following from you:
- A header of the size 500x100 and in .bmp (bitmap)
- A background image: 652x397 and in .bmp
- A folder structure. Like were the main mod is located and the modfolders for the different faction specific campaigns.

The delete map.rwm folder can delete all map.rwm files if you want... So not only the map.rwm for the main campaign can be deleted but all of them. Alternatively, I can make a separate button for each campaign etc etc

Well... Just tell me if you're interested

Regards,
Pat

Very nice. Much more pretty than the old batch file.

Yeah, good news.

I'm thinking we either use an in-game screenshot of Romans or one of Pacco's parchment renders of a legion for the background pic.

[pacco]

Maybe I can put few units together in the scene (maybe units from different factions)?

[tone]

That sounds like a pretty good idea.

Roman legionary - maybe Valeria Victrix? or late Praetorians?
Dacian elite hoplite?
Parthian cataphract or bodyguard
Seleucid captain?
Sarmatian roxolani lancer
Wolf warrior? Teutones heavy axeman?
Gallaeci elite infantry?
something Celtic - Boii champion
Carthaginian sacred band infantry or cavalry
maybe one or two standard bearers - Roman aquilifer or a vexillarius, one of the celtic bearers with the severed heads, maybe the Dacian one?
free Greek Scythian hoplite?
Roman late general?

[pacco]

Ok!
Picture size?

[tone]

652x397 and in .bmp

Isn't it great when mod teams help each other out, even in small ways

[pacco]

Thanks guys!

[rory o'kane]

Fantastic stuff, Pacco, just fantastic.

[tone]

I'm just passing this and the logo onto PatricianS who'll add them to the launcher program.

[swhunter]

That is very cool Pac.
Yes a launcher!

[Gez]

Someone get him a cake.

[tone]

It'll look something a bit like this (logo will be better resolution - he told me the wrong size image). Probably will use drop down menus to avoid covering the image:

[swhunter]

Wow! Are we going to have every faction custom-ed?
I wonder could a type of Spartan republic be made just like a script like Rome? Having young Generals being trained?

Also guys should we just blot out the old campaign icons on the old campaign?
Since you will have four options now. Why would anyone use them now on the old campaign.
