[XP] Versioning for RMX-OS

[Blizzard]

That's weird. I think you don't have administrative rights on your PC or something because that should be deleting the temporary files. Anyway, I'll edit the script so it handles that a bit better.

EDIT: Ok, try now.

[Trider250]

hmmm, So now it says "update finished and if game doesn't start automatically then restart it", so It restarts automatically but it still says I have to update again afterwards. 

[Blizzard]

You didn't update your files properly. If the server is set to version 5 and the client is set to version 4, then you have to replace the Game.rgssad that has been compiled with scripts (or the Scripts.rxdata if your game is unencrypted) that has the new client version defined (which would be 5 in this particular example). Then, when the game is restarted, it will use the new scripts that have the version defined as 5 and the client won't have to be updated "again".

[Trider250]

oh kk, i'll try it

EDIT:ok I did that, but it keeps getting closed by the 'remote host'

[Blizzard]

Then your new version is faulty.

[jrbault]

ok yet another quick question.  This list time i tried updating it gave me the updating message and then after about a minute it says the server didn't  respond.  Are my updates to large?

[Blizzard]

I'm not sure, I can't reproduce the problem.

[Trider250]

yeah The error I get on the client is 'server won't respond' I have the same problem as him lol

[Blizzard]

I'll take a look at it then. I had no problems with it.

Whenever I want to connect to the server I become this error "error! Your client is out of date! Client Version: 1.15; Server Version: 1.15"
When I dont use versioning it works normal.

[BeAddicted]

hm still doesn't work

[Blizzard]

Weird. Try changing the version on both client and server to 1.16. It's possible that it's literally a computation error (so-called floating point precision error, you can look it up if you are interested).

[BeAddicted]

Ok I'm silly^^ when I start the server there stands no extensions found,
but I don't know why. I've made a new rb-file in the extensions folder and copied the script into it

[Blizzard]

You didn't define in the configuration file which extensions to use. (Also, change back the versions, that obviously wasn't the problem you were having.)

okaaay... my problem is ... i have a file what is big (177kb ... Scripts.rxdata) ^^ what do u mean with split the file / in the comments on the script?

Okay, I haven't read the code, but I bet that Scripts.rxdata is one of the files that you definitely CANNOT update through a script. You know, Versioning is a script, so it's inside that file. But what do I know :p

[Blizzard]

Actually you can. All scripts are read and loaded upon start up and you can delete or edit the original file without problems. But you have to make sure that the new file works right when you put it up for updating. If you don't set up the new file properly, it will either keep trying to update the scripts or not work at all.

[Wizered67]

After all this time of not realizing my mistake, I've finally figured out what I was doing wrong! Now I think the script should work. Basically my problem now is that my Game.rgssad is too big for the updater and it crashes with "Server has Disconnected". Is there any way for me to make it smaller? Thanks in advance.

edit: The error the server gives is:

An operation was attempted on something that wasn't a socket. In sender line 21. I'm assuming that this is because my update was too big, but I could be wrong.

[Blizzard]

If the client gets disconnected during the transfer, then yes, this can be the cause of the problem.
You can split up the RGSSAD archive if you don't add the graphic files when you create it. Keep in mind that it would be a good idea to have an alternate encryption for the graphic files then.
