[XP] Versioning for RMX-OS

[Wizered67]

Are you still looking into my problem? Sorry, but its been a while since there has been a response on this thread......

[Blizzard]

I got a new laptop just a week ago, I haven't looked into it yet. I'll see if I can go it today or tomorrow.

I can't seem to get this script to work. I placed it in the right spot. I just don't understand how to get it to update, I make a new .txt file called 2, and it doesn't do anything.

[Blizzard]

Have you added any commands in that file? Have you changed the version on the server extension? Have you changed the version on the client?

[Trider250]

where do I save the 2.txt file? that may be one problem I am having

[Blizzard]

Wherever you specify it in the script. That's what the constant VERSION_LOG_PATH is for. It defines the relative path from wherever the server is running.

[Trider250]

So I have it in a folder located at Extensions\Updates\2.txt, and I changed the VERSION_LOG_PATH to Extensions\Updates, but it still won't update :/

[Blizzard]

Make sure you use \\ because \ is the escape character in strings. Best you just used /, that one works just fine on Windows operating systems.

[Trider250]

ok ,I did that. I have a question though.
if my scripts are located at C:\Users\WindowsUser\Desktop\RMX-OS Client\Data\Scripts.rxdata
how would I make a .txt file?

:file
C:/Users/WindowsUser/Desktop/RMX-OS Client/Data/Scripts.rxdata

and thats it?

oh and I get this error when I try to update

A client at 2010-08-04 03:14:42 UTC has caused an error:
undefined method `gsub!' for nil:NilClass
./Extensions/Updates.rb:54:in `block in client_update'

The text file is not the file that is transfered, it contains a list of files that should be transfered for the update from the previous version to the version specified by the number in the file name.

[Trider250]

ok, I understand. But what does this error mean?

[Blizzard]

It means that no line could be read because the file was not found at the location that you specified. Or you left the update specification file empty. I think the latter should apply because if the path was incorrect, it should have crashed a few lines before.

[Trider250]

somehow got it to work, but now I get this problem

Are you sure you are running the game with proper permissions? Because that seems to me that Windows is not letting you access the system temp folder.

[Trider250]

I ran as administrator and it still pops up... Should I create the Directory manually? But what about other users? :/

[Blizzard]

It was always working fine for me on XP.

If you want, you can change the directory for the temp folder in the script. There should be a piece of code saying ENV['TEMP'] or ENV['TEMP'] + '/'. Just change it to ''. This will put the temporary folder into the game's folder. But that probably isn't so safe either because usually on Vista/7 programs aren't supposed to write into their folder in Program Files. But as I said, you can try.

[Trider250]

you were right, still no good. :/

[G_G]

Thats why you turn UAC Off :V

[Trider250]

ok, I'll try turning off UAC

EDIT: turned of UAC and it still did not work

[Blizzard]

Please don't doublepost. Use the Modify button instead.

Well, then I don't really know. Somebody posted the same problem in the topic and I haven't really been able to look into it yet. I'm not sure what's the cause either. :/
