Yoma's Arma Addon Synchroniser

[Yoma 0]

**New Version**

This version enables you to use "contig" defrag tool to defrag the Arma folder from time to time.

You can find the defrag button on the "settings" tab.

Note: you first need to download and install contig, just follow the instructions (click install contig defrag button). I cannot include it in the setup due to copyright reasons. I can however provide an easy way to set up contig for use with Arma.

Finally got around to fix the "server switch" bug.

(select server A, then quickly select server B before server A returns it's list of modfolders, instead of showing server B's modfolders it showed server A's modfolders)

When you select server A, the server selection combobox will be disabled untill you get A's modfolders)

Bug has been around since day 1, well it's fixed now.

Go click 'update' in the upper left corner and enjoy.

Another minor minor bugfix. When you clicked "download all mods" you used to get a double message box "downloads complete" at the end. Now you get only one.

**New version**

Fixed some "autolaunch" bugs.

(after autolaunching it should stop monitoring the server now)

Also after clicking "Who's playing" the program should come up with results a bit faster.

**VERY IMPORTANT NEW VERSION**

-Last version i built had a bug that caused montior to start on "Launch arma", it's fixed now.

-mica.berlin gave me some good advice, I coded in some new stuff (e.g. gui being locked on clicking compare files).

**New Version**

-Mostly cosmetics/small enhancements on settingstab.

-Small enhancement in detection routines.

Hi Yoma, can we offer you another mirror? Or should we also link to your page? I would like to offer your terrific tool in our download database and I would like to write about it.

Regards,

Stavanger

You can put a link or download, choose as you like.

**New version VERY IMPORTANT**

-Server admins can now add THEIR OWN modfolder sequence to modfolders.txt

If the tool detects a modfolder sequence it will ask on launch if you want to use the server's sequence or your own.

Server admin can do this by adding a line

:seq:#MOD1#;#MOD2# etc to modfolders.txt

OLDER VERSIONS OF MY APP WILL CRASH ON THIS LINE => go update.

-fixed a small bug on saving preselected server (it overwrote the preselected server the second time you connected to it without changing to a different server)

Hey Yoma Awsome app..

Just one Request For now, You might like it.

I have noticed, It doesn automaticlly check for updates.

Do you reckon you could have a tick box in "settings" allowing automatic updates/auto restart.

if its already in there my mistake :P

once again awsome app.

[Yoma 0]

I'll think it over, the only thing that worries me is that it may cause somewhat more traffic to the modserver in question.

The shutting down arma may also cause some problems (as this often takes a long time to complete/sometimes arma won't respond to it)

[Yoma 0]

**NEW Important Version**

-Server admins can add a line

:hlp:http://www.mydomain.com/myhelpfile.html

to modfolders.txt

This URL wil auto-open when selecting the server.

This way server admins can link to their webpage, have a page open with extra info on the mods (required not required), or page with clan rules etc etc

-Added an extra setting so you can enable "Auto Download All"

This setting will have the app automatically "Download All" on selecting a server

Again: UPDATE YOUR CURRENT VERSION, if server admins start using these features older version will crash on them

[roguesn1per 0]

I ment your Program Auto Update :P

But the feature you added Helps me alot aswell thnx :P

I'm currently testing with 7z for compression vs normal zip.

Some real world numbers:

I tested it with an example modfolder:

uncompressed: 227 MB => 100%

Zipcompressed: 111 MB => 49% of total

.7z compressed: 82 MB => 36% of total

This means that in the example i tested 7zip compressed 26% better!

Might be a good means of saving some bandwidth.

The difficult part will be allowing server admins to choose what compression they want to use (i don't want every admin to be forced to use either).

I think i can acheive this, but server admins will have to choose between either .7z or .zip for the entire server.

This means that if they want to use .7z they'll have to switch at some point. I would strongly encourage admins that want to do this to rename modfolders.txt while they make the switch. (to avoid users getting errors). An update will soon be ready if all works out well.

[roguesn1per 0]

That would be handy as the Web host im using Limits to 100 megs per file.

And i have 2 Files over 100 megs mabye That will lower it.

If anyone knows a good hosting site with a larger limit than 100 megs per files tellz me :P

gota be free of course.

**New Version**

-Some cosmetics

-Most importantly: 7z support is now included.

How to use this (for server admins only):

-YOU CANNOT MIX BOTH ZIP AND 7Z, this will not work! All packages should be in ZIP or in 7Z.

-rename your modfolders.txt so people don't get errors when trying to sync while you change the modpacks.

-Set default compression algorithm to .7z in settings

-Repack all your mods via the upload tab and upload them to your server

-Edit your modfolders.txt put a extra line

:.7z:

The apllication will then know that it must look for .7z extensions

-Rename it back to whatever it was before this operation.

If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact me.

enter in the addons url box.

http://www.gol-clan.net/updater/modfolders.txt

or

http://www.gol-clan.net/updater

Maybe you just put in www.gol-clan.net/updater

this probably won't work (the thing can also do ftp.blabla.com and probably doesn't know what protocol you want)

10 minutes and between that a new version posted, my support isn't too bad

[mattxr 9]
