Wow fast reply, I just had a friend test it in Win X and its exactly the same no changes. I have the feeling this is purely a Win X compatibility issue, but what do I know…
Not sure what you want here, tell me what to do and I can follow instructions or point me to some tutorial method of capture. As it sits I see nothing being created so I do not see a data dump log that I would expect to see in a sub folder to forward to the developer type thing. Tell me what to do and I will get it for you.
This might mean nothing or something, I had a thought about moving the folder off of the main drive to a drive that Windows X doesn’t fully control with permissions per say. Ran it again now all the folders modified date inside the launchpad got updated to today’s date and time. Going back to the original location copy if I run the app it does not update the date and time of those folders. I attempted the as admin again too.
However even still only the folders got updated and the files inside the folders did not change there time stamp. Also still no “LauncherConfig.ini” file to be found.
Feels like a certificate or permissions to do with a compatibility with Win X, But again what do I know. Well I do know everyone is going to upgrade for the most part to it within the next 4 Months for free.
Okay - first, I need you to compile the program from source and use pastebin or gist to send me the full output from that process - visual studio will usually open an output window.
Once you have compiled binaries (an .exe), you should open a terminal (cmd.exe) and navigate to the folder where you have the binary. Then, run the program from the terminal by typing its name and hitting enter. Save any output and post that to pastebin or gist as well.
FYI MSVS 2015 the version linked when we had to upgrade to the latest UE4 Engine.
Okay so back to what I initially posted about I can’t compile it. If I open the launchpad-master folder and double click Launchpad.sln it launches MSVS and I get the following:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the “Migration Report” displayed after clicking OK.
- Launchpad.Translations, “C:\Users\Osias\Downloads\LauncherTest\Launchpad-master\Launchpad.Translations\Launchpad.Translations.mdproj”
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- Launchpad.Launcher, “C:\Users\Osias\Downloads\LauncherTest\Launchpad-master\Launchpad.Launcher\Launchpad.Launcher.csproj”
- Launchpad.Utilities, “C:\Users\Osias\Downloads\LauncherTest\Launchpad-master\Launchpad.Utilities\Launchpad.Utilities.csproj”
- Launchpad, “C:\Users\Osias\Downloads\LauncherTest\Launchpad-master\Launchpad.sln”
I click copy and pasted the above
also it said this would be written to the upgrade log file in the solutions directory and I have uploaded it for availability here: http://www.filedropper.com/upgradelog
I then click okay and MSVS finish’s loading the solution. I think click “Build Solution” I copied the output and error tabs to pastebin located here
There was no executable created for me to cmd line launch and gather any output from.
Ah, now I see the issue! You need to install the GTK SDK to build the launcher, and the GTK libraries to launch it. Without them, it’s not going to work Simple fix!
Install this (GTK# for .NET) if you want to compile or run the launcher.
Seems every time I pass a hurdle another one is placed in front of me.
I am 99% certain I have followed the Directions to a T in settings everything up. The file structure, making sure case sensitive and tested that I can login to the expected directory with the expected files in the right locations and manifests generated, .provides etc.
All I can guess is that The FTP host I am using is not allowing me to setup anonymous connections, However the config file allows for a FTP Username & Password. I have tested and confirmed the FTP Path - Username - Password and expected Path is all there and working. If I change the credentials and run it the launchpad opens and says can’t connect to server. But with all the info in correctly the launchpad never launches. If I run it from cmd prompt nothing happens so no error logs to give you. If I run launchpad blank it creates your game directory and starts downloading your demo files.
To get the FTP account to work in filezilla I must use the ( Only use plain FTP Insecure ) any other TLS type settings will make it time out. I am if bluehost is some how incompatible because it doesn’t allow anonymous connections…
Is this the case or can you point me in another direction to start troubleshooting.
Thanks again in advance
I’ve released version 0.1.2 with this fix, along with some bugfixes. I also realized the launcher updater wasn’t actually working, so I fixed that as well. You’ll need to redownload the binaries or compile it yourself, but it should work now
I can’t get it to compile again currently getting these errors when I compile
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS0246 The type or namespace name ‘WebKit’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Launchpad.Launcher C:\Users\Osias\Downloads\Launchpad-master\Launchpad.Launcher\Unix-UI\MainWindow.cs 25 Active

Researching them says in the code we are not referencing some sort of DLL or something. No clue what to do, I can’t seem to download the already compiled 0.1.2 version only the 0.1.1
Can you make the 1.2 available or tell me how to resolve.
FYI I got it all working from the 0.1.2.zip - Hooray Beer!!
However when distributing the launcher I have to have everyone install GTK for the launcher to work, is this intended? Is there a better way? Sorry if I am pain in your ****!
Yes, that’s the way it works right now. Eventually the WinForms UI is going away and it’s going to be all GTK - less work for me x) The preferred way right now is to bundle it up as an installer package, you can check out the Inno script in the repo for some pointers.
I’ve released a new version of the launcher (0.2.0) with some major improvements for the future. I’ve torn out a large chunk of the internal workings of the software and redone it, so in the future we’ll be able to use just about any download protocol you can think of. FTP is implemented as before and you won’t have to do anything serverside, but I’m planning on implementing HTTP/HTTPS and BitTorrent very soon. As a side effect, I managed to optimize the FTP protocol quite a bit, so the launcher should be faster overall.
Apart from that, you can now set a direct HTTP link for the changelog, which will allow it to use CSS theming as well. Woo, cosmetics!
Alright, so after trying to load this into Visual Studio 2015, it seems that the Translations project is not compatible with my version of vs, and whenever I try to edit the windows-ui, I get this error:
The variable 'LocalizationCatalog' is either undeclared or was never assigned.
Simple fix!
