[Guide] Making a Custom Launcher for your server

[wareagle920]

Here is a little guide I threw together. Not hard at all.

Step 1: Open up Notepad

Step 2:
Copy this text:

@ECHO OFF
CLS
ECHO Server Started %time:~0,5% %date:~1%
:SERVERLOOP
cd WS
logonserver.exe
ECHO Server Restarted %time:~0,5% %date:~1%
ECHO.
GOTO SERVERLOOP
:END

and paste it in notepad.

Step 3:
Save the file as "logonserverrestarter.bat"
(without quotes of corse)

You just made your logonserver restarter! Your halfway there!

(No pics from now on pretty much)
Step 4:
Open another notepad document.

Step 5:
Copy this text:

@ECHO OFF
CLS
ECHO Server Started %time:~0,5% %date:~1%
:SERVERLOOP
cd WS
ascent.exe
ECHO Server Restarted %time:~0,5% %date:~1%
ECHO.
GOTO SERVERLOOP
:END

Paste into the notepad document.

Step 6:
Save as "ascentrestarter.bat"
(without quotes of course)

YOUR DONE!
This is what they should look like final product...

[Tutorial] How to double click an icon!

step1: double click on the .bat file you made!!! (if you dont know how to double click then you should read this tutorial)

[Tutorial] How to double click an icon 2!

if tutorial 1 dont work then read!!
step1: click on the icon 2 times fast enought to launch the object or you can click it so it look like this: 178 and press enter!

if my tutorial doesent worked i dont know what to do with you!!!

[Darhan]

You forgot about to tell us where the mouse button is!!!
I cant find it man..!

xD

[bis1992]

oh sry bout thay :P
The left button on the thing called "A mouse"
its probably at your right hand :D
dont be nervous to click it you cant screw the whole computer by clicking it, dont worry ;)
i have clicked it myself and it worked. I dont think you get many bug's with your mouse only if the "balls"/"the ball" is gone, but this would not happen if you have a mouse that makes a laser under it
know you know anything how to use "A mouse"

HEY! how the hell did you get into this page if you dont know where the button is?? your mom did it? :D

[claus999]

what if u by mistake click the wrong mouse button?? lol :p

[Toyrn]

Then you get some weird menu xD

[bis1992]

you will get something look like this: 179 (my windows and firefox is danish so you probably dont understand much of the text in the "weird menu")

[ggace]

I like danishes.....

[claus999]

i understand it perfectly :) but your guide isnt mentioning what to do to if tht menu pops up :p

[bis1992]

thnk you very much ggace :D

when the menu pop's up you should click somewhere there are no link and the "weird menu" is gone tjitjing! :P lol :D

[claus999]

[wareagle920]

[ukmatty1]

Good guide +rep

[poyan2000]

nice. it works for me.

[darthfloris]

When i open it there comes 3 lines very fast where stands:
The system can't find the given pad.
logonserver.exe is not indentified as an intern or extern task program or batchfile.
Server restarted: "This time in minutes" a "date"

Can someone help me?:S

[therock364]

Isn't this a server restarter? how do you make a WoW Launcher Application?

[itachi rulez]

At first I thought this was about making a custom server launcher, but all you've made is a server restarter.
I've actually made a Private Server Launcher Here (http://www.ac-web.org/forum/tutorials/26527-how-make-custom-server-launcher.html)

[jadedtthedt]

Why cant I save as .bat? I can only save as .txt =(

[Staghornalienz]

worked for me so thx +rep

[Chrisx84]

thought this was on how to make a actual user side launcher, not two tiny files to start up a server, that part is easy, its called double clicking if the server is on ur windows computer, or typing up a easy linux command using a ssh tunneler if ur server is on a dedicated server like mine is
