magefree / launcher Goto Github PK

Or link to them in some way

Currently the downloaded .zip contains both the mage-server and mage-client subfolders in it.

Giving a separate download option of just the mage-client subfolder would work to reduce the amount of data needed to be downloaded in the one zip file and still allow people to connect.

Keeping the existing server/client zip file as well would be handy for the %age of people who do use it.

For 1.4.26v1, the mage-client directory by itself zips up to 67MB (7zip on max compression settings)

With magefree/mage#8627 merged, we can run directly with Java 1.8 u322 instead of needing to the launcher to download u202 when it starts.

We should stop providing the old Java version as its quite old and a security issue. Also, there's no need for it anymore.

I'm doing some packaging for MacOS (My fork: https://github.com/vayan/MageLauncher/releases)

I was wondering if you guys had a higher resolution of this icon : https://github.com/magefree/Launcher/blob/master/src/main/resources/icon-mage.png

There are a bunch of defaults pointing towards xmage.de, probably we could replace those with the xmage.today equivalents?

Hi @JayDi85 , it's been so long since we've updated the XMage Launcher. Could you please release the new version?

Doing a xmage or launcher update while the client is running will download the files and do some action. But after that, xmage or the launcher is not updated and wants to update again.

It should check if the client or server is running and the update should only be startable if both are not active. User should get a message first to stop the client and/or the server before perfoming the update.

Hi, @JayDi85,

The last stable version is 10 years old, and the code has evolved since.

Would you be so kind as to do a new release, please?

I am used to start the test mode with an IDE, starting server directly from there. Command line should work fine too with -testMode=true argument.

There seems to be the possibility to do it through the launcher, by adding xmage.server.testmode=true to installed.property, but that does not seem to work. Am I missing something?

Setting is read there:

Problem

The XMage launcher is provided as a jar file, which is cross-platform, but does not install as a native application.

Advantages of Solution

Packaging the launcher as a native application means users get:

• A desktop shortcut
• A menu launcher (Start menu for Windows, launcher for Ubuntu etc.)
• Installation of XMage into a sane location. For most users, they download the launcher, and then run it in their Downloads directory, meaning XMage ends up being installed there (which is not a good place for it to live)
• Once we have native packages for all main OSes (msi, dmg, deb, rpm), we can also start phasing out the Java downloader in the launcher

I appear to be having difficulty with the update, and it would be nice to have a numerical progress percentage, so I can know for certain if it has moved since last time I checked.
