# NaturalLauncher

Natural selection launcher and updater. Allows for quick update of the natural selection folder.


## TO BUILD FROM SOURCES
* If you are building from sources, I imagine you don't want the .exe file to permanantly check for online consistency (public key required) nor self update.
* In order to do so, simply go in SelfUpdater.cs and set the variable "isSelfUpdating" to false.
* You are basicaly good to go !

## CHANGE THE ONLINE FILES THE LAUNCHER REFERS TO
* If you want you own files online, simply change, in the configuration setting of the natural launcher projet in VS, the IndexURL to your custom URL
* as well as the GameUrl to the game URL (sounds logical enough ?)
