[Windows][StartUp] RitzyLaunch - An Easy .bat Startup

"RitzyLaunch" is a .bat file for use by all server owners (who still use the .bat file to start their server).

<Edit by Moderator: Redacted mediafire url>
Just extract and place into server folder.

It let's it's user choose:
- The "Server Name" displayed in the window bar.
- Amount of RAM (in GB)
- The name of the .jar file.
- Let the user restart the server without re-opening the file.
- Allowing for the ability of a complete restart in the same window, not a reload.

It was made to:
- Let it's user select the amount of RAM used each session, without the manual modification of the code.
- Give the window bar a nicer look, showing Server Name, RAM for the session, and .jar name.
- Make the overall server start look and feel better.
- Provide "troubleshooting" options.



<font color="#339966">Green</font> - When the user is setting the server up, or when the server is running.
<font color="#993300">Red</font> - When the server is stopped, or other.

The functions of RitzyLaunch came out of my own brain, I'm sorry if others have similar start files like mine. The most recent one I have found was by cato11112 and I have not taken anything from their work. See their variation here; Custom Launch.bat File

 

Hey guys. I've been working with Ritzy here and thanks to him, I've improved my launcher greatly!
