hello im building a custom minecraft launcher (still need minecraft account)

im building it kinda like magic launcher my aim is :P

anyway I have it launching fine but I have a
cmd box at the side I want to update in real time
here is a pic




This is the code for the button that launches the game and works fine when you close the game it will update
with all the info from when the game started

Code: Select all

   entregame.Tag = "java -Xms256m -Xmx256m -cp ""%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.jar;%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\jinput.jar;%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\lwjgl.jar;%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\lwjgl_util.jar"" -Djava.library.path=""%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\natives"" net.minecraft.client.Minecraft"
        BackTrackTextBox2.Text = ""
        Dim start_info As New ProcessStartInfo("cmd")
        start_info.UseShellExecute = False
        start_info.CreateNoWindow = True
        start_info.RedirectStandardOutput = True
        start_info.RedirectStandardError = True
        start_info.RedirectStandardInput = True
        Dim proc As New Process()
        proc.StartInfo = start_info
        proc.Start()
        Dim std_out As StreamReader = proc.StandardOutput
        Dim SW As System.IO.StreamWriter = proc.StandardInput
        Dim std_err As StreamReader = proc.StandardError()
        SW.WriteLine(entregame.Tag)
        SW.WriteLine("exit")
        BackTrackTextBox1.Text = std_out.ReadToEnd()
        BackTrackTextBox2.Text = std_err.ReadToEnd()
        std_err.Dispose()
        SW.Close()
        std_out.Close()
        std_err.Close()
        proc.Close()

here is a link to a .bat file that does exactly what I want :P

You would use a timer and in the timers tick event run the code

[muttley1968]

that would make the program boot everytime though and it wont update it
it just freezes until you close minecraft then it reopens and starts again

[Shim]

try Application.DoEvents() inside the loop

[muttley1968]

not that didn't work either infact it didn't do anything bare make minecraft seem really laggy

[smashapps]
