the packager window is too long (height) by default. i can't see the lower part in 1280x800 resolution...

it can be corrected by turning off the taskbar and resizing it tho. so it's not a biggie...

Another bug v1.10: When Loading a Package Script with Date & Version set to $ASK results in empty date and version = date ?

Sorry, it seems I'm the only one running in to BUGs :P

My readme file does not get autosaved with my package script (paths are correct ofcourse) filename= "G:\..cut..\Advanced Mineral Scanner - Readme.txt". Looks like it can't have any spaces (tested).

Edit: Minor typo fix.

What we need now from this is a script repository somewhere on egosoft or some nice guy's website, so that scripts are uploaded and your app could check for updated scripts and download new ones if necessary.

Exactly like Mozilla Firefox's extensions page and interface.

Well, if it would be possible to enter a download url into a package description file, every scripter could keep hosting his files whereever he wants and the script installer could check with a http head command...should work

But it would implicate to separate the package description file from the actual package and letting the user download only the package description files.

im actaully already planing to do that ;)

once i get tthe auto update working for the program, ill make it work for the scripts themselves too

how i was thinking of doing it, was to just put another file with the package file, that can be placed on the webserver, this file contains the version and name of the script which the program can read to check for an update

allowing the program to auto update all the script currently installed

Beta Test

Post by Cycrow » Wed, 18. Jan 06, 19:14

ok, anyone who host scripts, i have a beta version for ppl to test, it has an package update checker, so it can check if theres a new version of the packages avaialble.

In the Packager, you need to set the webaddress where the package can be downloaded from, this is without the file name, that gets added later by the program, just the directory its in on the webserver.

The packager will create the package file, as well as an update file SCRIPTNAME.dat
the update file goes on the webserver along with the package file

Then theres an option in the installer to check package updates, it will only display those packages that are installed and have the webaddress set, check the ones you want and click "Check Now!" for the program to check for updates

can get it here http://ircwhore.co.uk/x3/scripts/XScriptBeta.rar

it doesn't install the updates yet, just checks for avaialble ones ;)
let me know if you find any bugs or anything

Cheers

it hangs on requesting the update information for me.

StationTrader.dat (old version) contains this:

Script: Station Trader
Version: 1.24
File: StationTrader-V1.24-18.01.2006.spk

StationTrader.dat (new version) contains this:

Script: Station Trader
Version: 1.24a
File: StationTrader-V1.24a-18.01.2006.spk

The check dialog shows this image:

Still hanging...

if you need access to the host directory, the web adress is browsable, so you can take a look at the directory contents if you do any parsing there.

Both are uploaded:

http://home.arcor.de/Naffarin/StationTr ... 1.2006.spk
http://home.arcor.de/Naffarin/StationTr ... 1.2006.spk

There is no real difference, just autosaved twice with a new version the second time.
