could you .. please give some more info? :D we are not all windows guys. i have no idea what "Windows Game Explorer" is. All i can see there looks like a regular windows shortcut. we prefer patches through a git fork (on github), which also auto-credits you for your work done, by being the commit author. could you give some instructions of how to use/build this? maybe come to the #sy channel (preferably, evening in (central) europe, as then it is most likely to meet an engine dev there). #sy is also a formidable place to get help with git, if you are new to it. thanks for the contribution already :-) |

Yes. I've got instructions of how to build or use this. Compile the GDF data into a DLL by using the spring.rc file created when I built the GDF project. This DLL must be installed by the game's installer, and its path should be passed to the Games Explorer APIs during the installation process. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee417687 |

ok... thanks. i will not go on with this. should be done by a windows dev. i can help with installer integration of course. |
|
|
ok... i've uploaded the exec compiled with GDF data file. It is called SpringLauncher.exe. I'm doing the installer integration now. |
|
|
The installer integration is done. I've uploaded it. Compile it and test it whether it is working. If it is working, let me know :) |
|
|
I've compiled it successfully. Here's the GDF dll file. It is called spring.dll. |
|
|
Isn't there a way to make it compile with gcc and so to make the extra exe/dll redundant? |
|
|
after thinking about it, shouldn't it start the lobby and not spring itself? (as long as there aren't gamemenus with lualobby) |
|
|
Not really at the moment. |
|
|
this still only makes sense for lobbies, also adding a binary file to the repo is imo a no-go. |
