URI handler

[int-72h]

Just a handler that's of the form adastral://[run,verify,install]/[game_id] that allows direct links into Adastral.

The following .reg file can be used as an example for how URI Handlers can be created in Windows. Replace HKEY_CURRENT_USER with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for machine-wide installations, and absolut executable location with the actual location to the executable.

When launched via a URI, the full URI is passed to the program in the 0th item in argv (specified as %1 in the following file)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\adastral-osprey]
@="URL:Adastral Launcher (Osprey)"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\adastral-osprey\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe\",1"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\adastral-osprey\shell]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\adastral-osprey\shell\open]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\adastral-osprey\shell\open\command]
@="\"absolute executable location\" \"%1\""

This is (most likely) not all the things that are required, since I'm going through some old projects that used a custom URI provider and this is one out of 3 registry keys added, and the launcher would have to be made a single-instance application and some sort of IPC to make sure that URIs get processed by the application. (I'd be willing to help out with this feature btw)
