Automatic SLAC on\off for HLSW

When SLAC was released, a lot of problems appeared. Some of them were were fixed, some didn't. One of the biggest problems for me was, that I had to constantly switch game exe file in HLSW, so i can play on both ETPRO and trickjump servers. After sometime I've decided to write a little tool which, will automatically use SLAC for all etpro servers, which don't use PB.
The name of tool is etcfg.Launch, and you can download it from here
Installation is pretty simple. Run the installer and select a path where you want to install it:
Click install. During installation it will ask you few question, simply accept everything. This application requires Java to run, most of the people already have the latest version, but if you don't, installer will prompt to install it:
After installation is finished, restart HLSW, and try to connect to some server.
Following window will appear:
Enter into the Path to ET path to ET.exe and to the the Path to SLAC path to SLAC.exe . Press ok.
Now everything is done. When you try to connect to the eptro server, which doesn't have a PB, SLAC will be used. For all other cases no SLAC will be used.
Also, don't forget that etcfg.Launch also includes a simple ET server browser. You can access it by launching shortcut on the desktop.
Here is how it is looks like:
Server browser is actually in beta, and currently can only manage a single list of server, but some of you may found it useful. In future versions I plan to extend server browser with multiple features like:
*Possibility to import servers from HLSW and ET Master server
*Multiple server lists
*Notifications for servers (for example, notify when specific player joins the server, when server is full and etc)
*Stats tools integration
*Server specific settings (additional parameters, nick name for server,referee password)
That's all! Program is still in beta, but i'm using it with HLSW for a month without any problems. I've tested it on Windows 7 and Windows XP SP3. Server browser is still unstable and lacks some features. Use on your risk.
Project page is http://code.google.com/p/etcfglaunch/ , I'm usually releasing new version every week, with some bug fixes/new features.
Questions, suggestions and bug reports can be sended to me via mail [email protected] and on IRC #etcfg @ Quakenet
