[AddOn] FastLogin

[os008]

Current Version: v4.01.1608 (26-MAR-2009) *PROJECT CLOSED*

There're 2 mods made by the addon's users, they're very helpful indeed:
1- An external tool to change the options before starting the game, and to manage multi-accounts ...
FastLogin Configurator v0.5 made by grasmann.

2- A re-work of FastLogin for extra security and multi-account management ...
Multi-Login 2.0.8.1841.en made by Zilvermoon.

03-JUN-2009:

• PROJECT CLOSED! Anyone willing to take-over, please do, just mention me in the credits if you will.

NOTE: If the moderators of this forum feel that this addon is not appropriate and wants me to remove it, please ask me to remove the link to the download and close this thread, i'll also delete the file from Curse.

Another note: IF it's bound by the law to show the EULA at the beginning of the game, then please tell me and i'll modify the mod to show it.

I'm really not trying to 'hack' the game, or challenge the devs, i'm just trying to make the life of my mates easier (and myself, but i don't like using stuff in private). I didn't break any rules (i think). I'm just using the code inside the game and modifying the functions of the game inside the game context.

In addition to this mod, you can make a shortcut for the game, and modify it like this ...
""<Parent folders>\Runes of Magic\Client.exe" NoCheckVersion" (99% of MMOs have this work-around). Keep an eye on patches though.

Again, if this shortcut is against the rules, please ask me and i'll remove it at once.

Please test it and report bugs.

Downloads:

• Check below!

How does it work?

• This is a REALLY Simple addon ...
• Open up 'accountlogin.lua' (provided with the download).
• Enter username and password in the fields indicated.
• Choose whatever other options you want to use. (change them to 'true' if you want to use them)
• Put the 'loginxml' folder inside of the Interface folder in RoM (create it if necessary).
• Voila, you never have to enter them again!

A good tactic is to change your password to something other than the password you use for everything (global password) and store in that file (even if you forgot it, it won't matter), this way even IF the password gets stolen, you're still safe.

This addon saves your password in the 'accountlogin.lua' (You just enter it one time in that file). I'm in NOWAY responsible for password theft.

My computer has NEVER gotten a virus or trojan (yes, true story), that's why i feel confident.

AGAIN ... use at your OWN risk.
Use at your OWN risk.
Use at your OWN risk.


Sorry about that, just had to repeat it, cause i KNOW people will criticize this mod. And even some will claim i stole their password. More than enough professional programmers are on this forum, they WILL revise the code, and if they find anything malicious about it, they'll report it to the devs.

I already tried automating the process, it worked, while the game is on, then after i restarted it didn't load the username and password from the SaveVariables.lua file. Probably because that file is read AFTER you login to at least one character .

Change Log:
v4.01.1608:

• added: Password is auto-filled on game start.

• changed: Login-screen isn't hidden till you successfully login.

v3.03.1106:

v3.02.1005:

• fixed: Character auto-selection gets stuck.

• added: Option to auto-login or not. (all options are inside the accountlogin.lua file, at the top)

• added: Option to auto-select a character. (by default selects first character)
• added: Option to auto-enter game-world using that selection or not.

Nice idea, but I have a small suggestion. Make fastLoginPass a local variable, and to set it to "" (empty string) after calling DefaultServerLogin. This should add a little more security.

Personally, I would rather have a version of this that only removes the login agreement and the camera zooming. Typing my password quickly is no problem for me.

Great work.
Saves me a few seconds from all the logins I do during the day.

Stupid me has put this Addon in the "Addon" folder with all the others i've been trying and wonder why it wasn't working. I doubled checked your post and it clearly says twice, put the folder "loginxml" into "Runes of Magic\Interface".

I noticed in the Readme is says:

-- This addon saves your password in the SavedVariables.lua. I'm in NOWAY responsible for password theft.

But I presume that file got changed to "accountlogin.lua"? as that is there the Username\Password is kept now.

Peace!

Thank you for your suggestion, new version coming up.

@Val, i'm not sure what exactly you meant by 'zoom removal', but hope i did it how you wanted .

[uselinux]

oS008 This is a very clever idea. I'm going to go try this out right now. :-]

edit: it did not work. I edit "fastUserName" and fastPass correct?

Which file did you use?

[uselinux]

I tried 1.0.6 and 2.0.1

[Alleris]

Hey wow, there's new versions! I kinda assumed that there'd be just that one and that's it.

Since you've been playing with this, do you know if it's possible to:
a) Automatically login to the first character?
b) Maximize the window on startup >.>

Just a thought. Would be nice. Not necessary.

Make sure you put the loginxml into the 'Interface' folder, not the 'AddOns' folder. Case sensitive!

a) Attached file . (Put it in the loginxml overwriting what's in there)
b) Right click on the icon of the game, then properties, then choose 'Run ... Maximized'. (hope it works)


EDIT: Man, i so wish that the 'SaveVariables' loaded at startup, or Frogster didn't remove FileIO stuff, i could've made a UI with all those options instead of the silly multi-versioning .
