CraftersLand Launcher Released! [v0.1.2] Fine-Tune your experience to the max!

[Yusixs 694]

CraftersLand Launcher v0.1.2!

(Me, Henk and Brunyman were discussing ideas to be brought into CraftersLand back in May)

Spoiler

Brunyman: We should get our launcher for CL back, we had one years ago which contained our first modded servers
Henk: Sounds good, it'll help us develop our custom modpacks easily and share with everyone with the addition of client side patches and a news section to increase everyone's experience on the server.
Yusixs: I like the idea of a launcher honestly, I can put some real effort into it after the exams

There was a lot more than that but this is basically the summary ?

 

And so it began, I embarked on the task to get it done after my exams (well, a tad bit after but oh well) and it went great! Albeit, it took me a couple of days to learn the ins and outs of this but it should contain almost everything you need for your experience on the server with the addition of optional custom Optifine and A LOT of other fancy features which i'm sure you all will enjoy. Best thing about this is that even cracked players can use this launcher! 

The modpacks available in this launcher are all of the ones we are currently hosting right now and will be updated whenever an official FTB update is released. Don't worry, you won't have to do anything to update the modpacks, the launcher does it by itself! This launcher is also capable of smart-updates, meaning that you don't have to re-download the entire modpack whenever a new update comes out. 

For all of you who play on our Network server out there, you are not left out either. I added in 2 "Forge Vanilla" modpacks which are MC Vanilla version 1.8.9 and 1.12.2. These vanilla minecraft instances have a lot of optional mods which you can choose and the server IP's are already included in them so you can launch these and join the server without any fuss.

This is great. Love it  

When I was staff we had a chat about this with henk if I'm not wrong, but never thought it would become an actual thing, that it was just an idea.

Well, gonna download it right now.

[Yusixs 694]

Thank you!! Be sure to let me know how it goes :). 

[Twynics 54]

I don’t really see a reason I need this, but it’s really cool that you’ve done this! Now just collab with cheatbreaker and you’re sweet!

[Henk 1,441]

Beautiful highres craftersland logo right there, some genius must’ve made it.

but is it worth getting rid of the twitch launcher?

[Yusixs 694]

That depends on you :). The modpacks in this launcher have been tweaked so that you won't experience a lot of technical issues related to custom recipies etc. E.g On our infinity server, there are a lot of custom recipes to counter banned items (due to dupe bugs). In order to see these custom recipes, the player has to install the scripts in his client too unfortunately .This is where the CL launcher shines and already does this for you. 

 

It may not look that aesthetically pleasing than the twitch launcher but this is something I will work on when I learn enough java coding :).

[FreeFallFTW 161]

It's honestly so pleasant now to just switch between servers like this.I personally don't like having a lot of apps/folders running in the background and with this I can only have the beautiful launcher ^^

[brunyman 4,008]

Great job guys!

[Mariopr4 4]

Great launcher, Although as said above it needs to be alot more modern and pretty, but very functional

 

[AurelTheDark 91]

This cool ?

Same error..

[Yusixs 694]

Hmm, this is something related to your internet or IPv4 vs IPv6 issue, try adding this 

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Into the JVM Arguments in your launcher like so 



If it doesn't work, be sure to message me on discord @DaftTheEdgyGuy @Thakurz

[Thakurz 3]

Found the issue installed Java 8 and uninstalled java 10.

[DaftTheEdgyGuy 1]

In all honesty. The modpacks seem to be running smoother and faster for me since i switched over. The mods you can add are very helpful a couple help with FPS issues which is awesome for lower end pc's. Also as staff having that console at all times makes my job also makes troubleshoot easier as well. Its all up to you but I think its worth the switch. The only complaint I have and its minor is the fact you have to log in everytime. The launcher saves your password but is annoyance for me

Java 9 and 10 will not work for the launcher currently, please try using Java 8 to run it

Never mind, I fixed it. If anyone runs into this error, make sure your antivirus is not mucking with your SSL certificates.

[cschriemer 3]

My game keeps crashing while launching when I try to use the CL launcher, SF3 and 2.5 both. This is the log, does anyone know how to fix it? SF3 runs fine through the FTB launcher and I already tried reinstalling the games... https://pastebin.com/849FKJ40

[Yusixs 694]

There's not enough material in the crashlog to see exactly what's causing the error so let's try some random fixed

1) Check if you're using Java 8
2) Reinstall the launcher and modpacks and see if it works

[cschriemer 3]

I had to reinstall Java when I first downloaded the launcher, made sure I used Java8 so thats fixed. I'll reinstall the launcher and modpacks again, for the third time, to try. I'll let you know, might be interesting as well that I'm on a mac.

 

UPDATE:

I reinstalled the launcher and modpacks, getting the same errors..

Added information, edit to not double post

[Yusixs 694]

Hmm, try using the portable launcher instead of the normal one

[cschriemer 3]

Same stuff is happening unfortunately
