    WoW Launcher PLUS
    Version: 0.3.1
    by: Bl4ckSh33p [More]
    WoW Launcher PLUS (WoWL+) is the successor of "WoW Manager". Its purpose is to replace the default WoW Launcher and give you some additional features.

    Now supports 32- and 64-Bit Live- and PTR-Clients!

    LOCALIZATION: I started to add support for localization and it should be added with one of the next updates. But I want to ask for your help to add more languages. If you like to help visit the "Localization" page, please.

    Current features:
    - View the latest News from the original Launcher or use a custom Homepage
    - Open your Guildpage with a single click
    - Create backups of your important WoW related files
    - Launch your favorite Voice Chat Application with a single click
    - Check the Status of your favorite WoW Realms from five regions
    - Delete cache files on startup (useful for addons which track rare mobs via cachefiles)
    - Launch WoW immediately after launching WoWL+
    Additional "Tools" in the Menu on top:
    - Visit popular WoW Websites (more to come!)
    - Launch the original Launcher and the Repair Tool

    Installation:
    Just download the .zip file and extract it into a new folder. To launch WoWL+ doubleclick on WoWL+.exe or create a new shortcut for it.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: WoWL+ does not change any WoW Files. It is a separate application.

    Updating from a previous version:
    Just unzip the new file in the same folder and overwrite all files. All settings (stored in "Settings.ini") should be preserved.

    Known Issues:
    - None

    Feedback, Suggestions and Bug Reports:
    - WoWL+ on Facebook (get the latest news and updates here)
    - Feedback Thread
    - Suggest a new Feature
    - Report a Bug

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Since AMS (the app I use to create WoWL+ and my other tools) is no longer available for free I need to get the full version to continue development. If you like WoWL+ or my other tools you can help me with a small donation via Pledgie. Every Donation is very much appreciated!

    Error from Blizzard Newspage
    Thanks for the report.
    The error is not from WoW Launcher PLUS itself. I have never heard of serving-sys or used it. It is caused by the Launcher Newspage from Blizzard.
    I can't fix it right now but I will take a look at it and try to fix it soon.

    Like this overall, especially for the creature cache nuking.
    ----- Glad you like it.
    Thank you for your suggestions! I did not have much time to work on it lately because I am moving to another town next month. But I will continue to work on it soon!

    Sadly, IndigoRose discontinued the free "Personal Edition" of the app I use to create WoWL+. I can't get the latest update with some bugfixes for the runtime until I mange to collect about 300 US$ / ~ 250€ to buy it.

    I will consider this for the next big update. But I did not have much time to work on new features lately. I hope I can start to work on the next update soon.

    Ty for this launcher, makes my life easier when I don't have to remember to delete the creature cache files or login to see if realms are up or not. I do have one request; could you add on option delete the entire cache folder? Those files can cause issues with addons etc so I usually delete them manually everytime I play so it would be great to just get those files deleted automatically

    Here is a .png of the current beta launcher with a transparent shadow and background.



    I made this with a small program called Window Clippings.

    Ja sicher sind die Events an sich unter Verschluss, ich meinte eher einen Link zu der Eventseite des Mainchars (in den Settings deffiniert) in der Armory. Der Login muss dann ja eh über den Browser erfolgen.


    - Noch eine Browsergeschichte
    Die TopBox im Launcher (oben rechts über den Einzeiler-Links) öffnet im orginallauncher immer noch im IE statt im deffinierten Standardbrowser. Keine Ahnung warum man das das dort nie gefixt hat. Aber vllt griegst dus ja im Launcher+ gehooked.
    Das mit den Events sollte machbar sein. Mit dem IE habe ich leider auch noch einige Probleme weil beim WEB Objekt der IE verwendet wird und Links die darin geöffnet werden landen bei WoWL+ derzeit leider auch dort. Alle anderen Links werden aber im Standardbrowser geöffnet. Ob und wann das geändert werden kann weiß ich leider noch nicht.
