- Default hosting mode is now Localtunnel — public *.loca.lt URL,
no account, auto-fetched on first run. Replaces the prototyped
Tailscale mode.
- Tailscale code purged from launcher + CLI; docs swapped to
Localtunnel throughout (easy-setup, joining-a-server, server-cli,
troubleshooting, faq, READMEs).
- Launcher sidebar gains an Open admin panel button — opens
https://admin.<apex> in the browser once the server is live.
- SQLite db moves to %APPDATA%\DorkNet\dorknet.db (server reads
Database__SqlitePath env var, launcher passes it). Existing dbs
under <serverDir>\data\ are migrated on first run.
- CLI Program.cs: --mode default flips from tailscale to localtunnel;
csproj links in LocaltunnelTunnel + LocaltunnelInstaller.
- New Backend files: LauncherNameServer, LocaltunnelInstaller,
LocaltunnelTunnel, SingleOriginServiceMap.
- .gitignore: exclude installer/out/.
Steam-purchased Rec Room ships with SteamStub Variant 3.1 wrapping
Recroom_Release.exe so it refuses to launch without Steam loaded.
DorkNet spawns the exe directly, so for Steam installs we have to
unwrap it first or the user gets a silent crash on Launch.
- SteamDrmStripper.StripIfNeededAsync: PE-walks the exe's section
table looking for the .bind section SteamStub adds, and only
invokes Steamless when that section is present. Re-runs detect
the already-unwrapped exe and short-circuit. Backs up the
original next to the exe as Recroom_Release.exe.steamwrapped.
- SteamlessInstaller: resolves a usable Steamless.CLI.exe via
side-by-side -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\DorkNet\Steamless\ cache ->
download v3.1.0.5 from atom0s/Steamless GitHub releases. Same
pattern as CloudflaredInstaller.
- Inserted as a step between "Download client patcher" and "Patch
your Rec Room install" in both host (5 -> 6 steps) and join
(2 -> 3 steps). Step detail reports Stripped / AlreadyUnpacked /
NotApplicable so the user sees what happened.
Oculus / Quest builds and already-unwrapped installs skip the
Steamless download entirely.
The single HostStatusText/JoinStatusText line gave no sense of where
the user was in the flow. Replaced with a step list:
- StartupStep model (INotifyPropertyChanged) tracks Title, State
(Pending/Active/Done/Failed), Detail, optional Progress 0..1
- ItemsControl + DataTemplate in App.xaml renders each step as a
status bullet (empty ring -> filled brand -> green check -> red X),
with conditional detail line + restyled mini progress bar
- StartupFlow.NewHostFlow / NewJoinFlow build the canonical 5-step
host and 2-step join lists; host flow swaps the tunnel step label
for LocalNetwork mode
- OnHostStart / OnJoinApply advance steps via StartStep/CompleteStep/
FailStep helpers and route progress callbacks to UpdateStepProgress
so each download phase has its own bar
- Errors mark the active step Failed with the message inline, leaving
the rest of the list visible so the user sees where it broke
