Awesome! Custom UI background incoming!

Is it strange that I still use the old simpler launcher form five years ago?

nahh, because I still use it as well. Its simple, it works and I am use to it.

I do too. Its easier to have multiple copies/versions of the game then because i can just copy it to a new folder and install another copy of the game there. If the new launcher allows that, i have yet to find out how.

Unfortunately I have to use multiple copies of the launcher for extra installs. Would be great if someone mods in support for that

For anyone interested. I've forked the launcher and updated it to support NodeJS v10 LTS and updated to Electron v1.0.0. This is to help build electron in modern development environments.

Support NodeJS LTS v10.15.3 and Electron v1.0.0 by NZSmartie · Pull Request #2 · Schine/StarMade-Launcher

I'll continue to update the launcher to support latest stable packages and hopefully make it easier for others to develop with.

My end goal is to support launching the game with a custom mod loader (in my case Frabric's loader). With a secondary goal of supporting multiple versions being installed at the same time.

Wonder how many versions of the launcher there's going to be by next update?
