ProTanki Client Launcher

Discord

Launcher allows to start the ProTanki official client with the chainloader to connect to custom game and resource server.

Usage

Video tutorial is available.

Creating client profile

First, you need to create a client profile. Client profile contains chainloader and application description (for Adobe AIR).

Application ID have to be unique for each started client. Default is ProTanki-${CRC32(root)}

java -jar launcher.jar create ./my-profile

# Specify display name
java -jar launcher.jar create ./my-profile --name "My Profile"

# Specify custom application ID for Adobe AIR
java -jar launcher.jar create ./my-profile --id "ProTanki-12345"

Editing client profile

You can set settings for the client profile.

java -jar launcher.jar edit ./my-profile \
  --runtime air \
  --runtime-executable "Path/to/Adobe/AIR/bin/adl" \
  --chainloader "Path/to/chainloader.swf" \
  --game-library "Path/to/library.swf"
  
# Set default game and resource servers
java -jar launcher.jar edit ./my-profile \
  --game-server "game.example.org:1337" \
  --resource-server "https://resources.example.org"

Running client

java -jar launcher.jar run ./my-profile

You can also override client profile settings:

java -jar launcher.jar run ./my-profile \
  --game-server "game.example.org:1337" \
  --resource-server "https://resources.example.org"

Runtimes

You can choose between Adobe AIR and Flash Player to use for the client.

To use Adobe AIR, you need to specify the path to the adl executable in the --runtime-executable option.

To use Flash Player, you need to specify the path to the flashplayer executable in the --runtime-executable option.

# 'run' command can be used instead of 'edit'

java -jar launcher.jar edit ./my-profile \
  --runtime air \
  --runtime-executable "Path/to/Adobe/AIR/bin/adl"

java -jar launcher.jar edit ./my-profile \
  --runtime flashplayer \
  --runtime-executable "Path/to/Adobe/FlashPlayer/flashplayer"
