Launcher version 0.42 released

Added a quick verification step to check the SHA1 of the jar and upgrade files since sometimes I don't update the version number or file date on the project page. This may happen if a critical bug is discovered right after a release, but only few downloads happened till then.

Note to modders that this new launcher behavior might constantly complain about incorrectness if you modified the main open-ig-upgrade-XYZ.zip file.

Launcher 0.41 released

Notable changes:

Fixed issues with the working directory of the Launcher and Game. Linux usually sets the working directory to the user home instead of the directory where the actual program was run from.

The fix unfortunately won't work by itself, you should delete the open-ig-launcher.jar, open-ig-launcher-config.xml and open-ig-update.xml from the home directory. Then, go to the install directory via the Terminal and run the Launcher:

java -jar open-ig-launcher.jar

Chose the Update Launcher button or Other > Repair Launcher option from the menu.

Launcher version 0.38 released

• The first time launch screen is now resizable, since some Java versions or operating systems do not properly size the window.

Launcher 0.37 released

Now that we want to support French language, the Launcher had to be updated in order to manage a long awaited scenario: selecting the languages you want to install and maintain.

When you install the game the first time, the following dialog will be presented to you:

If you have the game installed already, you can manage the installed language packages via the Other options  > Select language packs... menu item:

In this case, the dialog receives two additional options:

• You can start the installation of new packages once you click "OK". If you did not check this option, you can run the Verify installation command, which will take care of the now missing files.
• You can ask the launcher to remove unnecessary language files, freeing some disk space.

The package sizes and total amount of download is displayed for your convenience.

The final convenience feature is the ability to force-repair the Launcher itself. Just click on the Repair Launcher menu option.
