We are releasing our new project, Eurobattle.net client.
1. How to install
Download and run [URL="http://files.eurobattle.net/installer/setup.exe"]setup.exe[/URL]
2. Features
-run w3 or w3+gproxy
-change w3 startup settings
-change gproxy settings
-view gproxy log
-About, license, links
-on startup it will check your installer version and offer you an update. So if we are releasing a new installer anytime soon, client will automatically grab the latest version and run it for you.
-same goes for gproxy. When we release new version the client will grab it for you and replace the old one for you automatically.
3. Known Bugs
-sometimes if you start w3+gproxy gproxy will shut down. Usually happens on first try after you open the client. This will be fixed when next gproxy version is released.
4. Beta
In next few days, we will "release" a new installer and new gproxy. It will actually be the old installer and old proxy, but we will do it for testing purposes. When this happens I will let you know in this topic so you can report how it worked.
5. Future
Future releases will include in-built chat client and News will be shown directly from forum.
That's all for now, if you find any problems with the client feel free to report them here.

Few other details can be found [URL="http://eurobattle.net/entries/28-Eurobattle-Client-coming-up!"]here[/URL].
EDIT: thought of a bug. (Not yet confirmed)
For users of Vista and up!!
The client does not check if you're logged in as administrator if you change the GProxy settings! Most likely the client will give an error message and closes itself.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Issue: Write access over the Warcraft III folder (Cause: UAC)
Solution: Start as administrator. (Not possible via de desktop shortcut.)
Update plan: Tomorrow. (11-Jan-2012)

First, read the first post. In short as for most features, it saves clicks.
Other than that: it updates GProxy / Eurobattle.net Server files (thus icons, no need to post if there are missing icons, there won't be any.)
Users will be kept up-to-date with the news browser on the first tab. (Currently disabled.)
Users don't have to switch gateways or add them. Eurobattle Client check if the gateways exist and switches to the right one according to the button they clicked.
Users don't have to have a hard time editing Warcraft start-up or GProxy settings. (Which for Vista and up users can be an issue.)
With one of the following versions the Eurobattle Client will work together with GProxy so the user self doesn't have to wait until GProxy is completely initialized.
And a more later version we will implement a chatclient window that allows users to login to Eurobattle before they join, so, e.g. That could check if their friends are online before they connect via the original Warcraft client.
We got some other more easy to use features but, that's it for now. As we said, it's a beta and not required to install. But, most likely it will replace the current installer. (See link in forum header.)

Atm there is not much advantage for using the client. It is just a beta release which is not necessary to use, but we want to test the functionalities before we have a greater use with it.
By using the client you're helping us testing it basically.
On friday we will launch "installer update" and on saturday "gproxy update".
