SIX Projects - Updater Suite, Portal, Config Browser, etc.

[anarcho 0]

seem to have ran into problems at the first hurdle well second :( using ubuntu 10.10

apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full p7zip-full rsync worked fine

however gem doesn't seem to work

mark@linuxbox:~$ gem install six-updater
The program 'gem' can be found in the following packages:
* rubygems1.8
* rubygems1.9.1
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
mark@linuxbox:~$ link /usr/bin/ruby -> /usr/bin/ruby1.9
bash: /usr/bin/ruby1.9: Permission denied
mark@linuxbox:~$ sudo link /usr/bin/ruby -> /usr/bin/ruby1.9
bash: /usr/bin/ruby1.9: Permission denied
mark@linuxbox:~$ sudo link /usr/bin/ruby -> /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
bash: /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1: Permission denied
mark@linuxbox:~$ link /usr/bin/ruby -> /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
bash: /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1: Permission denied

will do a bit of research on the issue when i get to work, from what I've read 1.9.1 is really 1.9.2

[sickboy 13]

The command probably should be gem1.9

and the output would suggest that:

sudo apt-get install rubygems1.9.1

would get you the gem command as well.

Today i´ve discovered the Option to convert Modfolders, so that they´re match to Six-Updater (Beta in my Case). Nice Feature! :)

:) Step by step

Also working on making things more accessible :)

Several optimizations and improvements have been pushed for auto-self-update too.

I've taken a read through the thread, but wasn't able to see anything that stood out as being the same issue I have here.

I installed the Six Updater suite from the site earlier, however when I start it up - anything I mouse over turns into black boxes.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, with no success - I also re-installed my .NET framework too

Before:

After:

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I did read through and didn't spot it. :/

I've only found this similair ticket; http://dev-heaven.net/issues/16748

Could you please create a ticket while attaching your logs, so I have some info to work with?

The first thing I can think of, this being a WPF application which uses DirectX to render,

is what driver version do you use for videocard, and if there are newer available.

Perhaps this has some merit; http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/862214e0-d37e-464a-83f5-86d952da04c2

I don't start the program for a day and I'm five versions behind. Do you sleep? I just noticed the latest version with the new homepage... even easier to get ACE info now.

I used to enjoy the hassle of updating mods. Going to various sites, downloading tons of stuff, figuring out what's changed, finding the right folders, etc... now all I get to do is click a button.

Thanks. :)

Haha :-)

I do sleep, at night, but always wide awake and hard working at the day+evening time :cool:

Glad you're loving it - motivation still high - so expect at least 3 more milestones (2.3-2.5), and then perhaps time for a break :)

The homepage is more intended to get the user to find the information about the Updater (News, Docs, FAQ, Support, etc), plus providing an easy place to leave a comment or request assistance etc.

Other plans are community/clan customization (aka their info/homepage, etc).

The serverbrowser has been much enhanced too with search and filtering etc, but more about all the enhancements in the upcoming 2.3 WIP report #2 :-p

Updater's functionality is not an issue and never us. Sickboy, try to make it much more user friendly. I'm far from a computer illiterate, but I got spooked by the interface when I saw all the options and didn't know what to click without your friendly online tutorial :) My 2 cents.

p.s. move that button "Use selected" above to much more visible spot, its very important ;)

[sickboy 13]

Cheers - all on the agenda as you can read from the Roadmap.

Just too much to do (3 milestones doesn't even cover it all), too little time and too little helping hands ;)

For clan/community servers with zSync configuration, the user already only has to make a single click to Install, Update, and Join the server with the right mods all automated. The rest will come, soon, v2.5 eta is 2 months.

Re the 'Use selected' etc buttons, I think eventually it will be double-click (thanks Defunkt!), and right-click mouse menu instead of those seperate buttons :D

I rebooted my machine again this evening, having installed a couple of Windows 7 updates - and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Thanks. :)

I am receiving this error. "No game folder set or detected. Please correct registry or set the path manually in global options or your selected settings profile" I have the entire ARMA II collection installed through STEAM, I would rather not reinstall if at all possible as STEAM is a pain in the a** when it comes to ARMA. Please advise what I should do in order to get Six Updater working again.

[sickboy 13]

The correct registry entries should be available again once you run the arma2 and oa game both once through steam.

Otherwise you can manually set the path to your OA installation folder right up at Options. Global path.

Thank you kindly.

Been some weeks that I don´t use SU, but I just fired it to update ACE and I have to say that you are making a good job on improving it.

Kudos to that.

EDIT:

One question thought. Is possible to set a custom folder with many addons to be checked by SU?

eg: I have a folder named "Random" with unit addons (like McNools ones and the BlackOps by Schnapsdrosel), can I set SU to check\update those addons in that folder instead of using a folder for each mod?

Negative, that's about the only thing i'm not planning to support.

You could create subfolders inside the Random modfolder (@McTierOne\Addons etc), and set the path field of mentioned mods to the Random folder, convert and then update & keep in sync in the future.

The reason why im not supporting it is that it's hard to keep track of these addons when combined in one or several folders, complicates sorting out unneeded files, etc.

Additionally it cripples flexibility of loading these mods, especially problematic when connecting to servers - which can auto select mods based on modfolder etc.

Perhaps in the far future and if time permits, I could re-evaluate, but I think the reasons are valid, and too much effort required.

But if a server also has Random folder with the same contents, it at least auto selects the folder when joining the server.

The past 2 days SIX Updater would refuse to startup and remain stuck at "Initializing... please wait". Only way out was with task manager.

Last time it worked was this friday when I did the ACE update.

After some moving around my addons I found the problem was with ACEX, without ACEX in the arma2 directory SIX would start just fine.

I downloaded ACEX again and after file comparing and swapping files I found out the problem was with ".repository.yml".

If you want I could open a bug in devheaven and upload the broken and the working ".repository.yml"

[sickboy 13]

Thanks, please do, if you include the updater logs it should help; http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater+Overview#Configuration%20database%20/%20log%20files

I'll check it out asap.

I've pushed a workaround for the issue, but having the broken .repository.yml will help in confirming the fix :)
