RLBot GUI Launcher

A launcher for RLBot v5.

Installs and updates rlbotgui.exe and RLBotServer.exe in the %localappdata%/RLBot5 folder. Updates itself automatically, too.

Compiling

Windows

Make sure you have the rust toolchain installed. Build using cargo build --release

Cross-compiling on linux

Make sure you have the rust toolchain and cargo-xwin installed. Build using cargo xwin build --release

Updating the launcher

Once the changes have been committed and the version in Cargo.toml has been updated, the launcher can be updated by following these steps:

1. Bump the version in Cargo.toml.
2. Run cargo build --release (be careful you don't run it as it will replace itself with the old version)
3. Create a new GitHub release and upload the exe. The release name must match the version in Cargo.toml.

Updating the installer

1. Install NSIS.
2. Run cargo build --release.
3. Right-click on installer.nsi and select Compile NSIS Script or run makensis installer.nsi.
4. Replace the installer file in the Installer release.

The installer technically only needs to be created once (since the launcher is self-updating), but creating an intaller that installs the newest launcher immediately avoids new users having to restart the launcher on first run.
