Awesome stuff, this may also attract new players who are scared of editing txt files.

Patching between servers would be a nice capability, no doubt saving me a lot of time and effort.

So you could potentially load the spell file from EZ and the spell file from P99 seperately?
Zordana

yes, as long as the serveradmins have an account to upload the files, they will need to get in contact with me then or the other way arround

This is great! I would definitely use this if you could get the spell file list to update automatically. I know a friend of mine would too!

btw if you are wondering, why the p1999 server appears to be offline in the serverlist -- thats because it is stated as offline on the eqemulator site aswell due to some misscommunication between the server and the eqemu websites database

I want a fast way to switch out spell files so I can play P99 and VZ/TZ PvP server. Any ideas of the best way to do that?

I think its great that the program will allow for a more fluid transition from the various servers, but can you tell me how that will work?

i guess it will check if the CRC of the file in the directory is the same as the one required for the server you are patching for ... so basicly the serveradmins can upload the required files that need to be changed for that server, and edit a list of files that need to be deleted ... and the patcher then downloads the required files from the server, and deletes the files that need to be deleted ... i guess ...

and makes backups of course :)

Very nice. What I've been doing is keeping a fresh load version of EQ on a separate HD, then just reversing the files back to the original files, then loading the needed files from each respected Server. It can be a bit laborious after while, the Launcher would be a huge welcome to the community.

the area for the server-administrators to upload the files looks ugly but is done :)
next step is: EQEmuLauncher-Updater and after that the Patcher!
In some days i might release a test version...

the updater is working aswell, besides one little bug.
then the patcher is left..

the updater should work now, patcher is my next target..

So the updater will essentially provide any current updates/changes to any of the respected servers? The Patcher will allow you to switch between the various servers? Do I have that right?

yes, as long as the gamemasters get in contact with me to get an account and if they keep the files up to date ;)
