Things to Note
Please note that I (RyanTheAllmighty) have created this alone up until now and being a 1st year Computer Science student, my coding may not be the best, most accurate or efficient, so please keep that in mind.
Other than that, I am releasing this as an Open Source project in hopes that others may contribute to better our Launcher and because I think Open Source is a good thing.
Coding Standards
- Please keep all line lengths to 120 characters and use 4 spaces rather than tab characters
- Please keep all variables at the top of the class
- Please keep all inner classes at the bottom
- Please don't use star imports
- Please mark all classes that are to be de/serialized with Gson with the @Json annotation for other developers
- Please use the IntelliJ-Coding-Style.xml for the project (if using IntelliJ) in order to keep all formatting consistent
Building
Windows
Requirements
Java Development Kit (JDK)
Download and install the latest version from Oracle's Java Downloads page.
Apache Maven
Install Apache Maven via the official Apache Maven Install Docs.
launch4j
Download and install launch4j.
Make sure to add the directory containing launch4jc to your executable path which for me on 64bit Windows was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch4j
Plugging In Your Data
To get started with the code and plug in your own data, you need to create a src/main/java/com/atlauncher/data/Constants.java file. Below is a starter to get you going:
package com.atlauncher.data;
public class Constants {
public static final LauncherVersion VERSION = new LauncherVersion(1, 0, 0, 0);
public static final String API_BASE_URL = "";
public static final String PASTE_CHECK_URL = "";
public static final String PASTE_API_URL = "";
public static final Server[] SERVERS = new Server[] { new Server("Test", "my.file.server.com", true, true) };
}
See below for explanations as to what each constant means.
VERSION
This is a LauncherVersion object passed in the reserved, major, minor, revision ints for this version of the launcher. See the 'Versioning System' section below.
API_BASE_URL
This is a link to your server side API for processing of leaderboard times and pack installs. This is optional and can be removed. We do not give implementation code, this is your own doing.
PASTE_CHECK_URL
This is a link to the url where an instance of stikked is running (For instance http://www.mypaste.com) this is how the launcher knows if the paste was successful by checking the response from the API for the url of the software.
PASTE_API_URL
This is a link to the create api command for the instance of stikked is running (For instance http://www.mypaste.com/api/create/)
SERVERS
This is an array of Server type elements the launcher uses as a base to download files.
How to make your data
To make the data the Launcher needs you will need to figure out your own server side way of doing that. You can create a system to do it automatically or you can manually do it by just popping the files on the server. The best way to get the file structure and contents is to examine the source code and the ATLauncher files it downloads.
Versioning System
Starting with version 3.2.1.0 a new versioning system was put into place. It works off the following:
Reserved.Major.Minor.Revision
So for 3.2.1.0 the major number is 2 and minor number is 1 and revision number is 0. Reserved is used as a base, only incremented on complete rewrites.
Major should be incremented when large changes/features are made.
Minor should be incremented when small changes/features are made.
Revision should be incremented when there are no new features and only contains bug fixes for the previous minor.
