Launcher

[Sared Kilvan]

I got this idea from reading Gabe's Auto-Download suggestion. A small launcher run independently from JA itself. It could/would do a few things, and have the smallest memory footprint possible.

-Provide a 'login' screen with the option to save said information (linked to autoexec that would log you in once in-game)

-A server selector

-Server status moniter (IP address, players, map, gametype, ect.)

-Auto-patching/downloading (file checksum as well?)

-JEDI Holonet news updates

-Message alert (update of PM's received on the holonet)


Some of these additions may be superfluous and some may be helpful. I guess that what I am proposing is a more specialized version of HLSW, Kali, or even the old All-Seeing Eye, but I think that with the right GUI and a bit of elbow grease, it could be a nifty addition to the RP experience, as well as being downright handy.

I hate installing additional things on my computer, especially if they become a task icon. However, some might fancy it though.

If it can be done, do it lovely. If it cannot be done, do it ugly, all the same to me.

That's a good idea. I like it.
