Multilaunch
Warning!
Running multiple clients may be treated as a forbidden modification. Use it ONLY for mod testing in training rooms or on test servers.
When developing battle mods you have to test them somewhere. Options:
- "Topography" mode (WG only): enter a battle with bots that stay still and shoot when they have direct vision.
- "Proving Ground" mode: real battles with players versus bots. Bots are AI controlled; results don’t count toward overall account statistics and allies won’t mind if you don’t actively participate.
- Training Rooms: requires multiple accounts, hence multilaunch.
WGC Multilaunch
Easiest method: use wgc.multilaunch, which resets the launcher state after a client starts.
- Download the latest
wgc_multilaunch.exefrom the official repository. - Launch the game client any way (launcher, PjOrion, etc.).
- Wait until you enter the hangar.
- Run
wgc_multilaunch.exe– it resets the launcher state and immediately exits (no window). - Launch the client again any way.
- Repeat steps 4–5 for as many copies as you need.
Windows Sandbox
You can also use the built-in Windows Sandbox component.
- Open Start menu and type "Turn Windows features on or off".
- In the list check "Windows Sandbox".
- Click OK and wait for installation (a reboot may be required).
Now you can run the game inside the sandbox:
TODO
If you know a good sandbox workflow (ideally connecting to PjOrion) please document it and send a PR. Screenshots welcome.
