Product Description:

This application allows the launching of World War ][ Online MMOG (in online or offline mode) made by Cornered Rat Software and distributed by PlayNet without having to use a web browser.


Additional features:

  • Optional display of current sector maps of a particular type (Front, Supply, and Strategic)
  • Deferred loading of sector maps while hidden or playing the game.
  • Optional deferred loading of sector maps while not the currently active application.
  • Optional quit on launch of game.
  • Optional pausing of iTunes when playing the game.

Still working on an application icon and better button icons, some day soon I hope (feel free to fire me icons of your own creation).

What's new in this version:

Added choke point hot spots to the maps so you can mouse over to get a choke point name in a tooltip and if clicked an intelligence map for the town will be loaded in your default web browser. It is known that some of the intelligence maps aren't found correctly, I will work on fixing that. Also working on a choke point search function but it is not yet active.


NOTE: This is a beta version so it is not fully tested nor do all functions work 100% at this time. I recommend keeping around the prior released non-beta version if you have problems.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher

If the WW ][ Online game does not launch correctly when requesting to play online (axis or allies) locate the PlayNet application in the PlayNet folder (install directory for game) and run it by double clicking on it. This will get it registered with Mac OS X launch services so the launcher tool can find it.

Fixes to this issue are expected in the 1.1 version.

Since World War II Online was updated to version 1.17.6, I can no longer get this launcher to work :( My introductory subscription has expired, so I can't test this new 1.1v9. Anyone?

Icon or no icon, this little app is great -- no more launching the game from a browser. And the tip about manually launching PlayGate solved hours of frustration. Ten stars.
