Six Updater: Install/Update mods, missions. Delta patching. Server browser, and more!

Is there a way to reset the window position to my primary monitor, without reinstalling? I had to unplug my secondary, but the window still defaults to the monitor that isn't there...

I can't find any xml file anywhere... :/

Edit:

Thanks for the help, though.

Edit 2:

The move thing doesn't work, it just moves the cursor to the edge of the screen and I can't drag it or anything.

Make sure you're looking in the right folder

C:\users\{username}\appdata\local\SIX_Projects\Six_Updater_GUI.exe_***************

Or use the other workaround I posted in the ticket.

[b00ce 160]

The user.config files?

[sickboy 13]

The user.config files?

Yes, sorry, their format is xml, :D

Edit 2:

Ignore how it looks, don't drag with mouse, once you click Move, you should simply hold the left-arrow-key on your keyboard for a while, and it should pop back in view.

Can't confirm it though, but moving the window that way works fine on single monitor.

[b00ce 160]

Oh, lol. I'm computer savvy enough to know you don't just go around deleting random things in the AppData folder and I wanted to be sure. :p

What values do I have to edit?

Fuck it. Delete.

Brilliant! Thanks, that worked.

Also, deleting the user.config didn't help.

[sickboy 13]

Did you delete all the folders in Six_Projects with user.config in it?

As it upgrades old versions it finds :P

Anyway, glad you solved it.

Six Updater 2.5 RC5 Released!

What's with the need to reinstall SU every time I launch it?

What's with the need to reinstall SU every time I launch it?

If you're in a loop, uninstall any installed SU version and install the latest version from the download section.

If you mean that upgrades do an uninstall and then clean install, this has technical reasons and they will be sorted out once 2.5 stable is released.

I have most things I use sorted. The two issues I have is :- How do I make the shortcut default not include the showscript option.... Maybe a tick box in the Options window would make it easier. The other is that about 30% of the time I get Not responding at the 50% mark... ie when you start... Is that because your sever is overloaded ? or something you are working on... Most ppl I help setup sixupdater have the same problem.. So it just could be me.. ;)

thanks...

p.s just updated to 2.5.1008... so can not comment on the Not responding with that version.

Still the same... ie if I see it open already at 50% in the bottom left window, odds are it will get a "not responding". Maybe it needs to start and wait a few secs before trying to initialize..... or maybe I need to just shutup... :o lol

Same for me, after 50% nothing more...

If I close the program then I get windows error message about Six Updater not responding.

When restarting the program it resumes init at 50% and works well most of the time :j:

[sickboy 13]

Responded to both tickets and whipping up a test version to try out, so we can pinpoint the issue.

Thanks to Gonk and Xeno for testing and feedback.

The stall at initialization should be solved in the latest build.

I've got a question.

This isn't necessarily a bug, but Six Updater is keeping essentially two versions of all ACE mod files, and on an SSD with limited space, that's another few GB wasted. Is there any way around this? I used to use Yoma but it seems like that is mostly defunct now. It never needed to keep two versions to verify version. Any advice?

EDIT: Read the FAQ and figured out how to move the .pack files to a different drive, but still kind of annoying to have duplicate files for every mod.

[sickboy 13]

Server Browser, scroll to the right.

Having trouble getting my updater to actually put the mods in my install. My pack folder is on another drive separate from my SSD, and it downloads the mods fine, but doesn't actually export them to my install. So I end up with the folders etc, but not actual files in them, what's going on???

The Pack location should only contains the packed files, while the modfolders in your game/mod installation location should contain the unpacked files.

Need details, like what is your pack folder, what is your game / mod folder setting, are there any errors?

Your logs and perhaps screenshots would help too. http://www.six-updater.net/p/support.html

Just tested;

Game/Mod path empty - auto detected from registry.

Pack path set to: C:\data2\arma2pack

I installed ACEX_SM. @ACEX_SM\.pack appears in C:\data2\arma2pack,

@ACEX_SM appears in my game folder, with .rsync subfolder with repo configuration files, and the modfiles appear just as expected as well.
