Integration of MAUTH and the Launcher

Matthew Tylee Atkinson, 4th November 2007

Launchpad blueprint short name: mauth-launcher-integration

Abstract

The new authentication features of 0.3.0 need to be easy to access from the launcher. It should be easy to achieve this by adding code to the launcher.

Proposal

The following features need to be provided.

• Setting of player name and password via the launcher.
• Ensuring the player is informed of the need for this on first run.
• The option to run non-MAUTH servers and clients.
• Assurance that installed mods will pick up the new settings (should be a case of just storing them in autoexec.cfg).

It should be possible to add all of these features using Perl code alone.
