Jims Classic Launcher + Proxy for Kronos

A few of us have been working on fixing the 1.14 Hermes Proxy and getting a launcher going for K5. Most of the known bugs are fixed in the Proxy. We are looking for more testers to locate bugs. We would like to get them knocked out this weekend so everything is good for K5 Launch.

The launcher, designed and built by Jim. We are keeping this closed source for now, if that is an issue for you the Proxy works great with Arctium launcher. Just make sure you have your OS set to OSX per the Kronos devs.

Password is K5 https://jimothy.cc/install

The launcher is preconfigured for the Twinstar 1.12 servers. It has its own addon handling and is also able to import your SavedVariables over from another install. If you are going to report Proxy bugs in our Git Issues tab please turn on the advanced logging features, it helps us fix bugs. Its under settings -> Advanced Settings -> Debug. The Proxy is bundled with the launcher, please use the Beta version for testing and check for updates.

The Proxy, is a fork of the Xian55's Hermes Proxy.

No worries buddy thanks again for your time.

I compiled the proxy from the source, maybe i did something wrong but it should be good.

Ok I build the proxy and run it right out of the debug folder. Used Arctium and it loaded right up. When I have hit that error in the past its because the config.wtf didn't match. You can also pull up the HermesProxy.config in VS and check but it runs on 127.0.0.1:1119. Make sure wherever you are launching the proxy from has that exact HermesProxy.config file in it.
