View Full Version : Nifty little Infinity program I made...

Yeah, I made a little Infinity program because I was bored and it only took a few minutes.
If your a person like myself who use an unsupported browser, don't want to use IE, hate having to load games by logging in on the website first and enjoy having an organized desktop... then perhaps you'll find my program useful. If not, whatever.
Basically, what the program is, is its a little program that loads the official Infinity site. Sounds stupid right? Well yeah, probably... but it only loads the part that shows the login area. Whats the advantage of this?:
a) No need to load the browser itself, or navigate to get into the site.
b) If you use Firefox or something it doesn't support, this program will still work since it runs off IE (as long as you have some kind of Windows).
c) It looks pretty damn nice.
Here's a pic of the program running:

If your interested, you can download it here. Be sure to read the readme as it might have some useful information:

Feel free to post comments and whatever here. It's a pretty straight-forward program but if you need help feel free to ask.

Fair enough, I can assure you there's no viruses or anything malicious in it. Not only do I not know how to do it, but I'm not really the kind of person that would do it.
But just FYI, all the program does is load the site. The program itself just centers in on the login part. This means that if you have no internet connection or the site is down, the program won't function (you'll get a Site Can't Load or something like that, just as you would in IE if you couldn't connect).

Its clean, I just have to download the .NET Framework off microsoft. I was looking for something like this and I'm glad Dreakon decided to make something like this.

What does the error say, and when does it happen?

Glad someone will use it. My worst fears when I post something like this is people won't like it, it won't work or people will just ignore it. If even one person enjoys it, it's worth making and posting here. :)

One reason S†ephanus might be having a problem is if he dosent have Microsofts .NET Framework 2.0. I got that error at first but remembered I forgot to reinstall it after I did a fresh install of XP.
Dreakon

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if more people have the same issue. Well, I guess if you wanna use it, you'll need .NET Framework 2.0...

If that's what you want. The program isn't different, I just think it looks and feels a bit nicer and it might be a bit faster then the IE shortcut they give ya (since the program probably doesn't have quite as many features/whatnot to load).
I really just made this for myself, I just figured I'd post it to give the option.
nice work, too bad it needs framework :(

I got it from a LiteStep theme called Obsidian.
There's no real site to get these kinds of wallpapers from and the process of getting them from the themes without actually using Litestep is too complicated to go into now. However, if you want this particular wallpaper... click here (http://img289.imageshack.us/img289/8808/grayhorizonwh3.jpg).
It looks to be Vista or XP running Windows Blinds.
I have XP and it's a Vista theme that I installed by patching uxtheme.dll. I hate 3rd party skinning programs. :)

You need .NET Framework 2.0 to run this program, unfortunately.

If the site can't load, the launcher won't either.
This is because the launcher basically loads IE and the website inside of the little program window. This makes for a nifty, convenient little launcher for web-based login games (and the login area of the Infinity site happens to look good in the launcher). :)
As for your problem... I'm really not sure. Positive your internet is working right? Is the site down?

I think some of the IP are blocked by GnG so i decide to change IP.
When get 219 IP i'm able to Go into the website but is too lag to play.
and i often get 60 and 218 IP which are unable to go to website.
Do anyone have any switch IP program??
I search at google but all the program are unable to use.

If anyone knows exactly what the IP of the server is, then that's certainly possible.

Haha this is cool. I have a question though. HOW did you make it?
If it's easy would it be appliable to other games which is IE-Launch?
If you could PM me with this info that'd be pretty cool. :D
