Thank you! I will post a link for it soon. Just updating one small thing on it tonight

@MultiplayerXGES I don’t want to bring you down, but I don’t think this is a good way to publish something like this here. The Plutonium launcher is the one that should be used, not one created by some random person when we don’t even know how it’s being executed.

I understand your concern PlutoniumX is simply a standalone launcher that makes a nicer interface and makes it faster and easier to launch each game. Instead of having to set paths like the lan launcher PlutoniumX does everything for you. All you do is add the executable into your main Plutonium/ folder and you are ready to go I also added a program I made that finds your ip4 address and makes a connect command for you automatically as well It's included in the file BTW I am MultiplayerX from GoldenEye Source and I have been a mapper and gameshark hacker for over 20 years. You are more than safe with anything I release Enjoy! PlutoniumX Auto Launcher : https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1cZYZiJGOinmGv5F4XBcrAUCLuOCtK1ve&export=download&authuser=0

Oh i did forget to mention. The program will save any new username you enter and any game you launch will save whatever paths the program finds your valid game files inside the .INI file You can delete the file or edit out the paths using notepad in the INI file if you need to change your name without rescanning for the game but honestly that's not necessary because the program is very fast and doesn't take that long to lock in where your files are as long as you put the program in your main Plutonium folder MultiX

A closed source UI that doesn't add anything? Sounds like using this is just asking for malware.
Just use the basic cli commands plutonium supports to make game shortcuts if that's what you want. No reason to use this.

What are you talking about? Closed source? The program is an executable that bridges to all 4 games and finds your paths for you and saves everything in an INI so you can use it like an INTERFACE. Why the hell would you want to use command prompts and archaeic methods when I made a program that give Plutonium a nice UI and interface. Lol That doesn't make a lot of sense to be so paranoid aabout malware. I created this using Python and Windows 10 then it is packaged using Windows 10. I will make a Windows 7 / 8 version is there's request for it. Anywho do what you will. Test before you judge

Bro you don't even know how to use git, your vibe coded UI is pointless because it doesn't add anything, it doesn't even look nice, and all your posts read like you scam senior citizens for a living.

DrSkum lol Dude wtf is your problem man? Grow up 007 Why are you criticizing a bunch of bullshit that makes no sense. Maybe I don't want to use GIT and I don't need to use that because I don't make a lot of projects to justify using that Seriously there's no need to act like a d#ck and attack me for sharing something that's just an alternative to the lan launcher BTW This thread can be closed out and deleted im making a new thread with the Final version now with better features as well
