Terraria Game Launcher GUI

This Version of Game Launcher is no longer supported!

You can find the new one here! (click me)

Because the other Thread is locked, here is the new one:

Current Version 1.3
Updated to work with Terraria 1.1.2

!Needs Internet connection to retrieve current Terraria Hash and Version

Attached Sourcecode 1.2.2!
If someone wants to create a Github or whatever for this feel free to do so!

Buttons:

• "Hashlist for All *.exe" creates a hashKeys.txt containing hash values of all exe in the Current Directory

• "Create *.gli" opens an OpenFileDialog lets you search for an Assembly (*.exe) and creates a *.gli File and reloads the Games/Mod List, if the Assembly references to Terraria the Game Launcher will create the needed config File too

The Game Launcher creates a second Backup file in "Terraria/Backup" named "Terraria.dll", this is due the way the Framework tries to find the references. Wrapper Authors just need to add a applicationname.gli file AND a applicationname.exe.config with this content:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <probing privatePath="Backup"/>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>

Just add this 2 Files to your Download to make your Wrapper compatible to the Game Launcher

duno what was that virus lock down about, it had no virus, my prevx didnt detect any malware or virus

thank for the update Eikester

Steam no longer works when I use this.
I can't access the overlay in-game. Which is kind of a killer, for me at least.

If it's a gui... Screenshots?

was in the Old Thread but added it to the OP

Ahh ok now I see what it is, don't have much use though sorry =\

Then you can run all of your Terraria mods without steam

Scratch my previous statement.
Suddenly it's working...

Time to get back to work on my texture pack, I guess.

Thank you for updating the launcher.But I seem to have a problem if you could help me out.
Everytime I try to install it (I do so in the directory) it notifies me that it could not find my original terraria build, although it's still able to find my exe.

Can't play from steam here, I launch it (on steam) then I select "Terraria 1.1" and the message "please launch the game from your steam client" appears. D:

Made sure its compatible with the Omnitool Terraria launch and now link here instead of to the locked thread.

I do have a feature request. I would like to read out all installed mods from within omnitool and then launch the specific mod directly (via command line argument to your program?).

How about we discuss such a feature together? Basically this would elevate the GUI into Omnitool.

Add me in Steam if you want

Updated to allow Omnitool start Mods/Games directly from the Omnitool Menu

EDIT:

Version 0.6 Online


Changes:
Added: -genHash Button, generates a hashkeys.txt with Hash Values of all Executables in Terraria Dir
Added: Commandline Parameter -genHash, same as the Button
Added: List with Useful Tools, Mouseclick opens your favorite Browser with the selected Tool Thread
Fixed: Crash if no Mod/Game was selected, Thanks to Berserker66
Added: Checkbox "Close Launcher on Exit Game"
Changed: Starts now the last Game/Mod if nothing is selected and Launch is pressed
Changed: If no last Mod/Game was found and nothing is selected "Launch" starts Terraria

Hey Eikester, this guy can't use tConfig because the Game Launcher isn't working for him. Any thoughts?

thanks Surfpup, i missed that post <.<

I am not sure which Version you've used Zappa, i've fixed a Bug in an older Version (0.4 - 0.5.2) that let you not install Game Launcher if a TerrariaOriginalBackup.exe exists but this is fixed, so try the new Version (0.6)
If this doesn't work try redownload Terraria and install Game Launcher again

Will do.I already have your latest update (0.6) though and tried with the same results?I'm not sure why but for some reason tconfig pointed out that my exe's hash key was wrong (as if it was an older version?) but my exe is 1.1

I'll try to reinstall the entire game like you said and thank you for the reply!

You can use the -genHash Button to generate a hashKeys.txt to see whats your Terraria Hash, the Current Hash Value is 1139E2577BFEA5B5EC3DE444330FB09B48E26D4783601BFAFEC82ACC9D1BDE68

SOLVED. For some reason steam didn't install the hotfix for 1.1, so my hash value was totally different!
I don't know about you but I thought this was pretty damn funny.

Thanks for your help and look forward to using this great launcher.

Updated to 0.6.1, please read the OP

One word: EPIC!!! This is awesome, great update! I especially like the close on start option. Also can I make my own tools/mods link (not necessarily a tool or mod, just a link to a site I visit frequently)by editing the .txt? And does the generate gli make it so any program can be launched from it, and will the programs have to be in the terraria directory?
