Custom launcher/game updater for Albion Online.
It doesn't offers cheat or injection or anything, it isn't mean to be better than the official launcher, it's just a training in Python.
I managed to understand how the launcher updates itself and the game and how it downloads/checks files so I had the idea to make my own version in Tkinter/Python3... Tkinter isn't the best GUI builder but at least it works :D.

Reading the source code can lead to several headaches and mental health problems.

Online player number is scraped from Steam not from Albion it is not really representative

First, install Python3 and Tkinter

git clone https://github.com/jusdepatate/4lbion.git
cd 4lbion
pip install -r requirements.py
python3 4lbion.py

You can take 4lbion.desktop as a good example of a desktop launcher for 4lbion.

(Also, there is a nice macOS feature if you install PyTouchBar)

This file is pretty big (1.8Go at time of writing), so it is normal for it to take a while.

• Manjaro 19 -> 21
• Windows 10 -> 11
• Debian 11
• MacOS 12.5 (needs Python 3.10)
• macOS 15

Everything happens in 4lbion.json in the working directory.

• Very rare case:

You might want to use WSL to test compatibility between Windows and Linux, in this case, make sure you are always executing 4lbion from the same folder and change basePath to . in 4lbion.json.
