I confirm that the preloader shouldn't be too hard to fix to allow alternate launchers :

Code
Select All
void launchGame(HWND hDlg) {
	STARTUPINFO nfo;
	ZeroMemory(&nfo,sizeof(nfo));
	PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
	nfo.cb = sizeof(nfo);
	BOOL b = CreateProcess(_T("TurbineLauncher.exe"),_T("TurbineLauncher.exe -invoker"),0,0,0,0,0,0,&nfo,&pi);
	if (b == FALSE) {
		showError(hDlg,_T("Cannot start launcher"));
	}
	setPhase(hDlg,IDC_PHASE3);
	SetTimer(hDlg,1,10000,&RefreshMapping);
	while (FindWindow(0,_T("Dungeons and Dragons Online")) == 0 && WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess,0) == WAIT_TIMEOUT) {
		WaitMessage();
		yeld();
	}

} 



We just need to find a way to pass a parameter to that function from command line ( or ini file ) and code the :
Code
Select All
if parameter = NULL -> Turbine Launcher
if parameter = PyLOTRO_param -> look for Install_Path and launch PyLOTRO
if parameter = DDO-ML_Param -> look for Install_Path and launch DDO-ML
 



Now honestly it's beyond my C coding ability in any decent time. I'll probably manage to do it... but I'm more efficient when it comes to coding ( and decoding ) Assembler [ In Telco Equipment crashfiles especially ]

The DDO-ML one looks quite interesting (looks like it has some nice features) too but the password thing being saved makes me cringe. Would be really cool if the DDO-ML one could get modified to encrypt the password or just give us the option of not saving it.

Ask to one of the Vault Cats to fix it with password encryption or some other way, since it seems to be her/his product.

I agree that clear passwords in a text file is not great, but honestly I've seen far worse.

Has anybody tried DDO-ML with an installation of DDO through Steam? That's my set up at work (yes, we're allowed to play games in our own time) but the DDO-ML launcher just seems to hang when I select the character to load...

Was it working before with the standard launcher ? ( prior to update that is )

Because typically the problem when the game hangs after character selection is due to the Windows ( or third party ) firewall blocking UDP packets.

Yep it was fine before the update, as far as I know we haven't changed our firewall settings but I will have a look.

Welp the cat in particular already hinted he may add encryption at some point in the future and I don't really want to nag him about it  Grin  I hope he does and knows it would be appreciated along with his work on DDO-ML lol

That said, I got Pylotro  updated and it is working fine, I just hope it keeps working fine!

And I haven't gone through my Win7 machine to make sure Python is up to date and working, I wasn't using pylotro on it before, so that may be part of pylotro's problem there. I'm using the pylotro-win from Flav's french site, btw, thanks Flav!

  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

I haven't looked at pylotro-win, but most python programs for Windows come runtime packaged so you don't need python installed.

the link on the French website ( that I gave ) come fully packaged....

You uncompress/install and you're ( almost ) set.
Then it's just a matter of learning how to use it ( and make it point towards the right directories ).


Edit : DDO-ML started fine yesterday but it gave me two Direct X9 errors.
( note I have doubts about the health of my graphic cards, I had them before yesterday, and after yesterday I have more doubt... my PC crashed Hard and had to be restored from a restoration point )

Nice, why don't we just remove the CreateProcess line then the user could just load up whatever launcher they want?

I don't *think* it should matter, all the launchers I've seen pass basically the exact same command line paramters to the actual game executable.  So, if you're getting direct X errors, it seems like it may be some other issue.

OK so this is a bit odd. DDO-ML works fine with my second account. I did wonder if it's because the password for my main account had an '@' in it and it was having trouble parsing it from the xml file. So I changed my password. I can log in to MyAccount & DDO.com with the new one, but the DDO-ML still gives the error "Login of xxx failed. Wrong password?" in the debug file.  Huh

OK, the problem with pylotro on my windows 7 box was a screwed up file (or maybe just a reboot), I'd copied the patched files from Linux to Windows to save download time and something may have gone off there. I restored from backup, downloaded a fresh copy of pylotro-win and re-patched and it patched and played no problem.

So now I have Win7 professional, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu 12.04 all running pylotro to patch and play with no akamai... only to discover the timers are screwed up and I can't get my cards anyway. Turbine, is there anything you can do right? Just a little thing?

BTW, I'd tried the DDO-ML but my virus checker, Vipre, flagged one of the .EXEs as a virus. I may go back later and re-try, but probably not today.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Indeed. Maybe they will address this Soon. Doubtful though.

New players will still download this and could be blocked by the peer2peer aspect. That is if they can get past the double login/slow data loading bugs. As long as installing and running this game is so unfreindly towards new players, turbine will have to up the p2w with the remaining players.

You know... it really shouldn't be this hard to play a game. Dealing with workarounds for what is basically bloatware just to log in? No thanks, I'd rather just do something else & let them see the drop in logins. Perhaps that'll make them speed up dropping it.

Not playing again 'til this crap is gone. I don't need the boring hassle of alternate launchers and so on. Bring back cartridges! Wink

You know... it really shouldn't be this hard to play a game. Dealing with workarounds for what is basically bloatware just to log in? .....)


Agreed it shouldn't be necessary.  I don't mind using pyLOTRO much as I've used similar things for other games and was using preloader before this.  It would be nice if they could address the launcher issues and just redo one more from scratch if need be. 
I also feel they shouldn't bother us with game updates for a year and instead work on bug fixes and re-balancing first.  Not realistic, but I can dream.
