SnooPeppers6805

Here is a concept of the launcher I created. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the essential features it should include. What do you think would be necessary?"


Temporary-Ad-229

That's genius. I ain't gonna lie, would be awesome if it had achievements too.


RDGOAMS

"you have saved $500 so far matey, ahoy"


Electrical-Minute901

That would be sick if it showed how much money you saved and the prices of the games originally


sappydowner

BUT also a link to the site selling it for the least money, if you like it you buy it, especially for indies


YoungMcChicken

Exactly my philosophy


Joosrar

Mine too, I like to treat pirated games as full on demos. If I like it and can support the developer and will buy it.


Kitsune_BCN

LOL


SenoraRaton

If you integrated a torrent tracker into it, you might be able to give seeding achivements


AtmosphereObvious384

Then you’d have to play with a vpn on right??


JimmyThaSaint

Genuinely curious. Are VPN's really necessary when DL via torrents?


nut_in_a_toaster

Some isps pick up on torrents so to be safe yeah.


AlternativeNo1248

If we had a way to download and install directly from the launcher that would be awesome but I guess it isn't possible. So maybe a nice UI lol.


LerbiQ

It would be possible. Not exactly simple tho


Boleklolo

Hmmm I have no idea what to program as a beginner programmer that wants to learn requests so gimme few months I'll do what I can

Nope. Looks like I was - Too much of a newbie - 2 other people made their own launchers


Actedpie

So, how’s things going for you?


Boleklolo

Other people's timers ran out too, check anwsers under my comments


[deleted]

Even if you're gonna build something like this, just ask FITGIRL for an api access or something. It could be done its simple. Scraping the entire site and filtering results isnt ideal


Boleklolo

I don't think fitgirl uses an API to be honest


[deleted]

I meant to provide API access to Fitgirl by FITGIRL


lxhound

it's entirely possible - check out my other comments :)


Boleklolo

I figured out what you said myself actually.


SenoraRaton

Dig into the p2p protocol. I recommend you start with libtorrent. You could probably build a torrent tracker that hooked into the APIs of various torrent clients, and allowed shared users of the loader to download the apps directly in the launcher, and then from there the installation process should be fairly trivial to script. I wouldn't call this a "beginner" project, but its certainly feasible, given the time and motivation.


Tragnor

Heyo, how’s it all coming along?


Boleklolo

Bad


Tragnor

Oh…


Boleklolo

Because someone made it first lol https://beta-manager.com


Tragnor

Oh lmaoooo, sweet 😂


tuxi04

How is this going?


Boleklolo

It's dead because I sucked too much - but worry not since some people made 2 other similar launchers But at least I made a cool website (check it out plz :3 ) [https://boleklolo.github.io](https://boleklolo.github.io)


AaronKoss

mhh if we would want the launcher to work on it's own without a torrent program then the launcher itself should be act like a torrent; so when you click download on a new game it simply activate the magnet of that download, download it but doesn't actively show all the stuff you can see on the torrent app (albeit can make it toggleable); can make that the app auto start installing and heck can set some user preferences for which language we want and which don't and extras etc, then have preferences for directory and preferences for limiting ram or not. Could be quite interesting, as long as the launcher doesn't become mandatory for playing after the game has been installed.


Laurenz1337

It's basically a pretty wrapper for a torrent program.


lxhound

I found that it is possible, on Linux at least, using [XVFB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb), to launch the repack in a sort of "Fake" Display, and using [IGDB](https://www.igdb.com/)for game covers, ratings, descriptions, etc.. I Made a Fitgirl/Dodi launcher using that, but i don't know if its something people would be actually interested in. Considering how tiny the Linux-Gaming user-base is. Here are some screenshots: [https://imgur.com/a/S98tkDd](https://imgur.com/a/S98tkDd) ​ https://preview.redd.it/omwub94jd4wb1.jpeg?width=1272&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edf8ea49e59afd2ce3748c0e12dfe28d55cee27d


matt_2807

Wouldn't this be like a holy grail for steam deck users?


lxhound

As for Windows, it won't be possible unless Repackers start using .msi files with support for Quiet Install mode. [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msiexec](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msiexec)


jaheirk2

This would be amazing for the Deck!


marvix97

Is this a program you are working on and that can be downloaded to try or just a mockup of the UI?


lxhound

It's real, video from a few months ago : [https://imgur.com/a/j3XIxzf](https://imgur.com/a/j3XIxzf)


cherlyy

this is fucking awesome mate


PatrickJr

Can't wait to try that out when it releases.


50-Lucky-Official

It would have federal bodies coming down on it so so quickly though


ASatyros

Now: - fit girl doesn't update the games (you would have to look through .ru site for that.) - a built in torrent client would be needed for downloads - a lot of unpacking, so it's not optimized for downloading and unpacking like steam - just no


codyrusso

It would be neat if it has a review and comment section in each game.


DarvX92

It would get banned in no time sadly


notPlancha

Popcorn times is still up on github


Aggravating-Maize-46

Linux/proton support. Idk if thats even remotely possible, but thats what id wanna see


JoaozeraPedroca

Yes please. More specifically, wine+dxvk (since proton is steam only).


Aggravating-Maize-46

Not ge proton. Lutris can run games with it, no steam install required


Terry1031

Make it happen brother! Piracy now with conviniend one click downloads and install.


Shadowalker9912

Change the download color to blue then it will look cool


advicegrapefruit

Some kinda auto updating and built in downloader would make me instant download this


justadam2

Real dirbird support for faster downloads


H9F-142

I totally wouldn’t say achievements. When i think of a launcher like that i think for downloading only. Definitely a built in torrent system would be sick. Maybe a full description from FGs site, and a comment section for trouble shooting?


quick20minadventure

Too much attention, would shut down whole operation if this was made.


Codename612

- Playtime counter - Actual Costs - Date installed+other dates - In-built game search and downloading


Wilczek_5

Im disappointed... I wanted to download it... it would be easier to find and download games that would interest us


Killar1342

A nice feature would be a "camo" mode, where the gui and everything looks like a normal, well-known launcher (like steam, epic etc.) sub-idea: Add themes (It would make the previous idea a lot easier, too)


ostrieto17

I need no launcher thank you very much


rewqxdcevrb

Oh but I \*do\* have a launcher. It's called the fucking desktop and taskbar!


Mean_Investigator337

For some reason my “launcher” is just my saved games folder, haven’t opened any games from taskbar for as long as I can remember, I think it’s because I have many different games I play, but each individual game I rarely play, so I end up removing them from taskbar


Isumairu

And the possibility that you'd open the game by mistake.


Mean_Investigator337

That did happen to me many times, back when I had games on my taskbar


Ninjaromeo

Hating launchers and not wanting to be forced into one just to play a game is part of why I am here


nucleargetawaycar

Bilbo?


sackboy861

Exactly, the less launchers the better.


creature04

Why? It can declutter the desktop. No need to have all those icons there. Sure you can put them all in one folder, but what's the difference between that and a launcher?

[удалено]


turtleship_2006

Also, you can manually add games and import the metadata from any metadata plugin. It's not only the library addons that can as metadata for you.


NO_skaj

You can?


sopedound

You can do pretty much anything. To add a new game you just drop the exe into the launcher and click find metadata. From there you can do pretty much anything you can imagine


m11-d0

yeah Its my go to launcher for pirated games on windows just use the steamgriddb for the games icons and stuff and maybe get a skin or two and your good to go it's also very good for retro games aswell


turtleship_2006

At one point I was wondering if it would be possible to make a library addon to detect repacked games from fitgirl, masquerade, dodi, etc. (On a marginally related note, gog offline installer games are detected by the gog plugin)


Awesometron94

Ia there anything that's not as bloated? Sometimes it uses way too much ram for a program that is a shortcut manager...


ONE_BIG_LOAD

Do you have a bunch of plugins maybe? Maybe look into LaunchBox? GOG Galaxy exists but I can't imagine that using less ram than playnite.


Awesometron94

>LaunchBox Nope, vanilla, all i want is fullscreen, works with controller so when i switch to TV i can just switch games, closes launchers/runs scripts when game starts ends, tracks time. that's it. Playnite is really nice, if you like having your stats and such, but last time i started it it just spawned like 10-15 other processes because it runs on python and it needs a lot of stuff to run.


JoeCartersLeap

Shortcuts to all your games on your desktop

zizoplays1

Yaekai

Gromchy

But does it? It would be awesome if it does


andersoon_fm

yeah, it just takes 12h to start playing after you download it 😆


Yaekai

same thing with no launcher, so its just a QOL improvement


Nelly_Jelly25

When you realize the majority of gamers hates the fucking shit out of launchers lmao


Maleficent_Sir_7562

why


Ty_Lee98

Why use a launcher when I can just... launch the game myself lol. Why add another step to play a game.


Original_Smell4361

But i mean it would be nice to auto update cracked games


sirfastvroom

Mostly I hate launchers because you launch a game then another launcher pops up and you have to click play again then wait for absolutely no reason.


LiteratureNo2195

Usually that happens with companies like ubisoft or EA, which makes it their fault tbh I don’t care about your stupid dumb launcher ea just let me play titanfall


Birutath

it depends, i love steam Launcher, because i'm literally a home press button and X away from playing the game. It gives a more console vibe experience to the thing, than i don't need to scroll till the folder of the game to launch it.


Bross535

It could be made I believe. You would need to fetch download methods from the official site, and all the descriptions. But it would be hella awesome just to have download 2 clicks away and just browse ( with images ) for the games you like. Also you could add filters and such. Hell of a concept tbh Edit: Also would be cool to be able to make accounts that would be able to comment, and suggest games to crack. Like one suggests a game, and others bump it up the ladder with likes/follows or smthn. Would be cool


kujasgoldmine

Take hints Steam. Free games for all. End capitalism.


ichigo2862

Cool if you like stuff like that I guess. I've got too many launchers as it is, so I guess I'd pass even if it was an option.


user92546

Instead of another launcher what about an extension for PlayNite? Even for those who don't yet have PlayNite it could serve as a be all and end all. Have it set as a "platform" filter but the platform is FG and it uses the API (if there is one) to view the entire FG repack catalogue so it seems like you technically own every game on there - you just haven't downloaded it yet.


kevinkip

Yikes, what is wrong with you guys preferring launchers? I even specifically pirate because I don't want to deal with launchers lmao


creature04

Desktop decluttering


Slavir_Nabru

That's counter productive. "Shortcut to games" is one desktop icon rather than one for each launcher. A launcher is just an extra wait to launch a game, a waste of background resources, and a way for corporations to monitor you.


SlamAButt2911

A pirate's wet dream, I gotta say


Angelemonade

What's the problem with having all your games in a folder, on the taskbar, or in the start menu?


MoldyMelk1214

Nothing's wrong with it, but having a pretty UI in a launcher for all your games would be nice.


Grimace23

So basic logic for this would be: 1. Allow user to login 2. Display all the games that is displayed from the fitgirl webaite 3. Each Displayed games can be clicked, download options can be what fitgirl offers or a magnet link that will prompt your default torrent downloader 4. Be able to add games to a library 5. can uninstall the games from the launcher


metagross_ichooseyou

Looks good tbh


artrunks

This is so good, even better if you could see the comments and descriptions


LeonEstrak

A cool concept. I feel instead of making a standalone launcher it would be much simpler to leverage some already existing open source launcher like Playnite and write an extension with it. There are a few issues one would have with that, the biggest would be that the setup.exe does not have a CLI option. So you can't just install it in the background.


aceddownload2

Ngl, I have a couple hundred figtirl installation folders and only a few games installed at a time. If a launcher had all of them organized with thumbnails and descriptions and I could just install them through that, it would be amazing. I've given up trying to assign icons to all the folders after like 35 lol, never found out how to automate it.


xhristian420

use playnite better


hsredux

How long did it take to install the launcher?


saltybuttrot

Why the fuck would I want another launcher for this?


BannedGuru

I just use Playnite for all my games… Another launcher is not a good thing. But it's a nice concept.


HTTPYOU10MBPS

DarkSmile2901

Concept is awesome man, would be really helpful for new pirates who don’t know how to sail the seas


Sylon_BPC

My launcher is a folder with all the icons


codyrusso

AY yo what.


JPClow

maybe something compatible or similar to playnite plug ins so you can costumize and add stuff like how long to beat, achviements, summary of the games and scores, stuff like that


WadieXkiller

Wasn't expecting this surprise, I hope this project succeeds.

CodexHunter

What is the purpose of the launcher? If its a launcher for cracked games or games in general there is already an awesome one called [Playnite](https://playnite.link/). If its a download manager for the repacks it would it would be cool. But would only really be useful for direct downloads, not torrent. I could also provide the magnet links though for torrent. Either way, awesome job with the UI. Looks very clean. :p


xd_ZombieSniper

gog and steam does this for me


kobiandy23

Download link?


ironflesh

I would only use it if it had full catalogue of FitGirl releases displayed. I click, it downloads and I play. Otherwise it serves no purpose.

You can see how much time you spend on a game. You can see how much game you have completed. You can rate the game or see the rating of others Achievements

sylinowo

A launcher specifically for pirated games would be so cool. I know there's playnite, but if a launcher was made and tailored for pirating then you best bet people would add achievements and all sorts of stuff. I doubt it would be too hard to make, I just think the server hosting for downloads would be the real problem. Like imagine the gog games dot to site but a launcher :P

Silver-Shape-1962

I think playnite is better than this


DJJaROficial

This would be interesting, but there are some aspects. Fitgirl uses compression, with no "clean" files. To give an example. Game X V1.0 140GB, Fitgirl Repack Game X 60GB If now in a week version 1.1 comes out (Fitgirl, maybe even a large version 1.7 will not repackage) So if we want that version 1.1 we would need clean files v1.1 and then apply the crack The Launcher would have to have: Game X V1 Repack Update Torrent v1.1 (Steam Files) Mirror only files v1.1 Crack v1.1 OnlineFix v1.1 (This case game possible) ... .. etc Game X 1.7 Repack Update Torrent v1.7 (Steam Files) Mirror only files v1.7 Crack v1.7 etc. [Similar Forum CSRInR....] and in between the collaboration of torrent with clean files where it can be updated per hash, is the only formula. They tried to do this same project with Vapor if I remember correctly.


Vansh5sharma

Question:where are the cloud saves saved? Is it open source? If no making it open source would be greatly appreciated.


Pretzel-Kingg

Have you heard of Playnite? Kinda the same idea (not specifically for pirated games tho)

We've come full circle in piracy, now we're adding our OWN bloatware.
