Hey!

I programmed this game launcher half a year ago and my post in this forum has not been unlocked.
Since this, I've released some new versions and a demo.

My "GameStarter" adds by using a simple and comprehensive wizard a game launcher to your games, that you can customize in layout.
This launcher lets you and the game players change the keys, making resolution and graphic changes etc.
Also, your game will get an updater and many new functions.

The wizard lets you also create a CD starter and the launcher for foreign fpsc games.

Included in the download are some useful tools like a time trial function for your games and a large documentation.

The program is in German and English.

It is available in my online shop at lulu.com/rafaelklaus
All future updates are, of course, for free.

Oh, I forgot, here are some screenshots...



This is a classic design of the launcher. The design can be changed, some templates are included. The position of the buttons and the images (up to three) can be changed, andalso the colour and the type.


Some of the configuration options your game will have...








And here some screenshots of the wizard, that helps you adding the GameStarter to a game.

Where is the demo located?

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

@ xplosys and all the others:

The demo can be found here:
[href]http://rafaelklaus.de/FPSC_GS_2.0/FPSC GameStarter Demo.exe[/href]

The demo only shows the GUIs of the wizard and the GameStarter itself, but you can neither create a game nor save any settings.


@ Endless Fps Team:

The CD starter looks similar to the normal GameStarter. Also, you have the same design options. If you plan to put your game on a CD or DVD, this creates a self-starting launcher where you have the possibilities to install the game, launch a help file or visit the publisher's website (in this case your website).

GameStarter™ 3 Standard has just been released.

The completely rewritten GameStarter contains more than 50 changes, dozens of new functions and more compatibility.
The new version costs 10 Euros and is available in my online shop: http://stores.lulu.com/rafaelklaus
In the next days I'll add the TrialPay functions, which lets you get the GameStarter™ for free if completing one offer.


Some screenshots:










Some of the new features are:
# compression of games (with various options)
# works with FPSC, FPSC X10, DB, DB Pro
# hide unwanted features
# change the gamecode and standard settings
# save/load function (with drag'n'drop onto GameStarter™)
# new functions for the trial mode
# import/export function (CSV, TXT, ...)
# automatic updater


Edit:
I linked to the English images. Note that these images were taken from the beta version, and the help frame on the right is in English in as well.

Sorry, the program is of course in English as well, but I linked to the German images.

Anyway, all images online are from a beta version, so there might be slight differences.

I now published a website with some information about the GameStarter:
http://gamestarter.rafaelklaus.de

I am still uploading new stuff to the website, so it might happen that some resources are temporarely unavailable.


Also, I added a new paying option via TrialPay, where you can get the product for free if you sign up for an offer. Just check out the website.
