@Hawker: np, its a lot fun messing around with the game :)

@Grand_Leo: not bad, can you upload the plain background image somewhere ?

IMO make the buttons and drop downs vanilla style. (I suppose they are WIP.)

Like this?

[FunkyFr3sh]

yea, the buttons were looking bad :D not sure if vanilla style is much better, maybe need something completely new :D

thanks Grand_Leo, gonna mess around with it today .. not sure yet what im going to do with the buttons

[Nyerguds]

Kind of strange how the three lowest labels are 'buttons' too, for no apparent reason.

[athanasios]

Better like that. If you could spare some more time on it you could try to see how it would look with a semitransparent (or better slightly transparent) background between buttons and frame.

[FunkyFr3sh]

Launcher has been updated, special thanks to Grand_Leo for making this awesome background image !

[athanasios]

Just get rid of the window decorations around-they spoil everything. Info could go inside the window as well as an exit button.

[FunkyFr3sh]

k, gonna fix that tomorrow :)

[shai]

k, gonna fix that tomorrow :)

I think it would be pretty cool if there was no background and the only thing in the window was the menu. 

[athanasios]

For hardcore players like us I agree. But he already did the background (why to waste it?) and you have to get the title of the game somewhere plus the copyright.

@Shai-Gel98: it would be pretty sad to remove that awesome background !

chat and launcher updated... Grand_Leo made a new design for the chat as well

Yes, the background is very nice. Also, what programming language are you using for the launcher? 

[FunkyFr3sh]

both are made in c#

[athanasios]

Jaw dropped! Awesome! Those min. max, X buttons how did you make them so nice? Please make available the sources of the artwork (as well as instructions) to the community so we can have a consistent look at our works.

[FunkyFr3sh]

Grand_Leo did all the graphics, he will prolly share them with you :D He got an account here at the forums too, send him a message about it

[D2k Sardaukar]

Really nice work! Only cosmetic comment is that the westwood logo misses body, I prefer the original one:

 

And the slight transparency is a bit confusing.

Just photoshop "styles".

 

I can send you .psd file file if you need it.

[athanasios]

Should better go on the wiki.

Good Job Feda , I see now the statistics on D2K about our dune2000 server. Im really excited to join you soon guys, really. GJ again, wonderful job.

Thanks but the stats on d2k+ were made by mvi.

[DLAriotttt]

Good news everyone, we are no longer dependant on hamachi, just open your loader and it will apply the new update, we chat in dune chat now, hope to see yall there.

[FunkyFr3sh]

The launcher is now able to edit the dune2000.cfg, kudos to ccyhper who documented the file in here: http://forum.dune2k.com/topic/20736-hyperpatch-for-dune2k-development-topic/#entry345822

I will probably add some extra options like no-cd patch and all the params later... 2 extra colors for LAN/Skirmish are already available

[D2k Sardaukar]

But...

 

 

Also, what is this NeoRouter thing that is installed on my PC. It keeps a NRClientCmd.exe proces running after I close Dune 2000... I don't like that.
