GameLib.Plugin.BattleNet

Battle.net Plugin for GameLib.NET

Battle.net connect plugin for GameLib.NET.

The plugin will deliver information about the installation status of the Battle.net launcher as well the installed games within the launcher.

Installing

The plugin is already bundled with the core library GameLib.NET

Special notes on the plugin

Battle.net has a local installed product database. Unfortunettally this database does not have any information about a game name or the executables. To get around this problem a JSON file is provided with the plugin to have this information available.

Please feel free to contribute on how to get around this problem. Until then we have to live with the JSON file.
