OFFICIAL NEWS


RyZtart becomes the official default installer

Tried it out,

Current setup:
Steam all in 1 folder (ryzom files + save)

Ryztart setup:
used steam/common/ryzom as game files location
used steam/common/ryzom/Ryztart as Ryztart location
c/users/magez/appdata/local/ryzom/0/ as save location

profiles/shortcuts:
it took a little while to figure out how to setup the alt account, first i added it manually in the profile and shortcut section, after that i used the ryztart login window to auto add the profiles and shortcuts.
manually i couldn't get it to validate(edit) c/users/.../0 for the alt so main and alt used the same save folder. automatic and then edit the profile/shortcut to validate c/users/.../0 worked right away somehow.

shortcuts to characters:
shortcuts get auto added when you create a new character IF you are logged in to the account on ryztart, if you are not logged in on ryztart and use the shortcuts to login to an account+character then use the ingame menu to go to character selection screen and make a new character it doesn't get added to ryztart shortcuts unless you login to that account again on ryztart>login.

python/ryztart windows:
what i didn't like is the phyton window and rystart window staying open, it messes with tabbing from main to alt, would be nice if there is a flag/checkbox to have it minimize to system tray when launching a certain profile (so when i flag it at alt profile/shortcut it auto minimizes to system tray after i log alt) or at least have the option to manually minimize it to system tray.

Updates:
some files were updated by ryztart, when i validated in steam(at the end after testing) again 25 files were re-downloaded.

conclusion:
overall i think ryztart needs to be simplified for the public(newcomers), but it looks great, maybe a little overwhelming.
i think most do not use yubo or gingo (especially newcomers) and seeing that from the get go is a little confusing.
on the servers tab "changing the installation location of ryzom will not move it but create a new one" should mention you can select an existing location if you have it (like non default locations).
