Hello guys! Well before 3 months i started building this launcher and everything was ready in week or two but then the university started and this project was frozen. I was browsing my projects folder today and saw it so i wanted to share it with you and if you like it i will continue to work on it if not i will have more time for other projects .
Written with C#
Requires dotNet Framework Version 2
(it's tested only on WindowsXP so i don't know if it going to work on other OS)

1. Tab1(General)
-3 links that can be set when adding a server (homepage, createacc, vote)
-online players (only works if server have stats.xml file on their site and must be set when adding server)

-login form with options to clear cache on launch and
-auto-login you have to choises to set it to hotkey or to set it to timer
when it's with hotkey when you launch the game and you are on login form ingame push LEFT SHIFT on your keyboard and it will login automaticlly
when it's with timer when you launch the game the launcher timer will activate and after XX seconds it will auto-fill and send the ingame login form (it's really useful when you have to get some food from kitchen and you don't want to lose time)

Eeeh, the UI is ugly, but I appreciate that you actually put effort into this as opposed to the 9,373,214 other launchers that have been released. Whereas the extent of sophistication of all the other launcher releases stops at printing the contents of a text file from a webserver, you managed to pack quite a few features in it. The stat-parsing and imageshack uploading features are especially cool.
Good job! Improve the UI and it'll be gold!

Thanks for those kind replies I will start working on that launcher again soon and improve the damn UI >.< Plus maybe some new feature. Btw i am not so good at design so if anyone want to help with that please PM me (you'll be in the credits LOL)
Oh and this launcher works with any emulator but few features connected to stats.xml (online list, friends list) won't work on others different from ArcEmu.
