CrossFire Useful Launcher

[Rory] · August 2011

So yeh. Made this launcher. It lets you view the links that are on the main launcher in the actual program rather than loading them in a new browser window.

It also (if you are on Windows 7 and have the Windows 7 version downloaded) uses the windows jumplist feature allowing you to launch useful CrossFire related links.

You have to copy across the exe to your CrossFire install location ( C:\Program Files\Z8Games\CrossFire by default)
If you've downloaded the Windows 7 version you will need to copy across the two .DLL files included in the .ZIP file as well as the .EXE file.

Download

Enjoy!

Sounds like a crack :P

But this is a very smart idea. I already downloaded and tested it. It seems to open the top buttons in an internet explorer variant so I need to do another click to my main browser. That is the only thing I dislike about it.
Good work.

That's due to your magnification settings on windows. You probably have it set to display everything at either 125% or 150%.

Just found a bug with the jumplist not launching it correctly, trying to fix it.

[Rory] · August 2011

Ok, had to remove the launch crossfire jumplist feature, even after getting it to route "correctly" it would give an error with the patcher so yeh.

Cool Launcher, I was going to make one too, but seems you beat me to it, haha.

MrShad · August 2011

Not exactly a SmoothUI launcher like I thought you were planning.
But good job

What kind of language you used? C++/C#/VBasic/ or other?
I preffered C# but I can't end my launcher fast cause I have a lot of other work to do

I can get a SS if you want. (btw, if I take one, it'll be in french)
