How to compile the sourcecode:
1. Install NodeJS 20+
2. Copy all content from config.js.example located in app folder to a new file named config.js in app folder
3. Open the configuration file (config.js) from app folder and edit all fields
4. Execute command npm install in launcher directory
5. Execute command npm run dist or npm run dist:windows or npm run dist:mac or npm run dist:linux or npm run dist:ubuntu in launcher directory
6. The launcher is now compiled in dist folder
Warning:
1. This launcher is made with NodeJS and Electron, so you need to install NodeJS to be able to compile the sourcecode.
2. If you want to add many servers just copy the current array from serversList, add comma and paste the copied array.
3. If you want to update the launcher from an older version to a newer one, you must delete the old launcher sourcecodes, minus the file config.js, then copy the new launcher files.
4. If you are not familiar with NodeJS, read the NodeJS documentation. You will need to install the NodeJS modules with the npm install command in order to run npm run dist.
5. If you want to compile the sourcecode for different platforms, such as Windows, Ubuntu/Linux or macOS, the sourcecode will need to be compiled on the respective operating system. For example, for Windows you will need to compile the sourcecode on Windows.
6. If you want to use the auto updater, make sure you have copied all the files from the dist folder to the website set in config on variable autoUpdaterDownloadURL, except the folders with the unpacked launcher.
7. If you want the number of online players and the server version to be updated in the launcher, make sure you put the API Key in the config from rust-servers.net.
8. If you want to modify the launcher installer icon, simply replace the icons from build folder, then recompile the sourcecode.
9. You need at least NodeJS 20 to be able to compile the sourcecode.
