'[R-DEV wrote:AncientMan;993148']Here's what I'm thinking for a launcher. The graphics are fairly basic, was more focussed on the code
. Also, the white bit down the bottom wouldn't be there in the real app.
PR Launcher
(if it doesn't load, just refresh)
Yes, it's not meant to work, it's a clickdummy, meant to show the design
Anyway, as you can see, there's no "news". This is because I feel that there's no point having news in the launcher, when there is a news ticker ingame in the main menu (in the next version of PR anyway). People would spend more of their time in the main menu than the launcher (some might even just not use the launcher), so the news would get to more people in the ingame menu.
A tutorial page/video thing might be interesting, but, it's meant to be a launcher, just a relatively simple program for people to click on a button and the program gets them to where they want to be fast and easy. The wiki link might be easier with the videos linked there?
For things needing to be installed to the default place, that's not needed, that's what the registry is for.
Anywho, that's what I'm thinking. But you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to, I'm just another guy with another opinion
.
Also, before you start getting in and coding this, just hold off for a bit, I want to talk to a couple of people first about it.
/sidenote to some replys in this thread, splash screen is in the next version
. Options pages would be merged into one, with various tabs for the PR parameters/mumble details/widescreen fixer stuff perhaps.
