Civlauncher 1.1 is out!

* REQUIRES .NET 2.0 (acquire here ) Install .NET 2.0 before you install CivLauncher.

Civlauncher is a small application that allows a user to manage his or her PTBS and other MP games' IP addresses, passwords, and for PTBS games to quickly view their status without having to open a browser.

CivLauncher currently has the following functionality:
* Allows user to download data from CivStats via provided username and password
* Updates Civstats data on a user-definable frequency (Every minute, every fifteen seconds, etc.)
* Allows user to save passwords and IPs for games, both Civstats games and others.
* Allows user to connect directly to games both through the system tray when minimized, and through the CivLauncher main interface

Please feel free to share this Civ4 helper application freely ... and please let me know if there are any bugs or problems with it. The launching portion of the program doesn't work 100% consistently due to issues with sendKeys, which doesn't always behave like it should; but it should work 98% of the time. If you have a repeatable issue with it, let me know.

UPDATE:
I'm currently looking into whether I included all the necessary files or not in the distribution package, which will take until tomorrow. It looks like there are a few items needed that I didn't include in the installer, so bear with me That said, if anyone IS able to get it to work, let me know. Otherwise I'll have a new install package tomorrow.

The program launches with no problems so far

The font is too large however

Great tool snoopy

Not sure what happened but I am unable to launch the app after I close it down.

I got errors when I pressed the a) 'Connect to Game', b) 'Refresh Civstats Info' and then cancel, and c) another option in the file menu I can't remember right now. Not sure if that had something to do with Internet connection since my firewall blocked connection until I allow it (that was after I got the errors).

I think that's related to the known bug that was reported earlier. There is some issue that comes on 'new' startups that didn't occur on my test machine, i'm working it out now.

What is your desktop resolution?

1280x1024 (native).

The launch error is reproduced even after I uninstall and (re)install the app. Only this time it does not open the first time at all.

Note that I have version 3.0 of the .Net framework installed.

Here's a screenshot of the error I get.

I tested it in a virtual machine with .NET Framework v2.0 and it behaves the same.

VMware version: 5.5.3.34685
Windows version: Windows XP Home Edition (version 2002, with SP2 integrated)
Installed apps: DEAMON Tools, WinRAR, Acrobat Reader 7, Firefox 2

Here's the error I got when I clicked on the 'Connect to Game' button.

And the details.

Yeah, I had some issues with the program running when you don't have a saved xml and settings.ini to start with; unfortunately they popped up after I had a settings and xml on my initial test machine and didn't show as errors since I always had a xml and .ini ...

Fixed, and I included a Try block to catch any errors in that area if needed, it msgbox() the actual error message now instead of the silly windows error box.

I will update the file in a moment.

Okay, updated. The link from the first post should still be valid, but here it is again:

Does this program works for GameSpy and CivStats games only?
