Hello, I can confirm this issue using my own client. I'll debug this problem later when I have time.MinchinWeb wrote:I love the idea.

If I look at http://ottdau.junctioneer.net/UpdateServer/StatusPage/ and then on the suggested URL for the changelog, that file is available. So it is a bit strange. (It is the changelog that it first downloads before displaying it along with a question to update)Transportman wrote:And if you wait for a bit longer?

Edit: What seems to be a possible workaround is to set "Last NoGo" or "Last YAIM" and rely on it downloading nightlies now that those has been merged with trunk.

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.5
But the changelog is already on the mirrors, so when the mirror is down, your Status Page will give an OK, but the Updater will not be able to retrieve the changelog or any gamefiles. And I have the Updater set to Download and Play, without displaying the Changelog or the question to update, maybe that makes a difference.Zuu wrote:If I look at http://ottdau.junctioneer.net/UpdateServer/StatusPage/ and then on the suggested URL for the changelog, that file is available.

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.5
I don't fully follow what you say. Maybe I was unclear about that I visited the changelog/download URLs in my browser to test that they work.Transportman wrote:But the changelog is already on the mirrors, so when the mirror is down, your Status Page will give an OK, but the Updater will not be able to retrieve the changelog or any gamefiles.

From my tests with and without debugger I have concluded this:
- If I change the options so that it doesn't display the changelog, there is no problem. (Not sure if that is what you tried to say Transportman or if you tried to say the opposite)
- There is also no problem to get releases that uses the raw changelog viewer. (stable + all hg branches etc)
- The reason for the problems with the changelog has nothing to do with downloading it. The problem is that there is a commit message with unbalanced square brackets.

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.5
Ah, you did it recently, I was talking about a while back (several weeks/months), when one of the mirrors was actually down but I was still routed to it (both through the Updater as through the website).Zuu wrote:I don't fully follow what you say.

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
Maybe a bit late after 4 months, but I have a suggestion (might not be entirely into the scope of this program):
When using the Auto Update to get the latest nightly, there are sometimes changes in OpenTTD that require an update to OpenGFX because of new graphics. Is it possible to also let the program update OpenGFX?
[Edit]I mean the OpenGFX nightlies[/edit]

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
OpenTTD can do that by itself. Just select "Online content", choose "Select upgrades" and then "Download".

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
That only works for stable versions of OpenGFX, not for nightlies. I should have mentioned that in my previous post (thought I had, but apparently changed it before posting)

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
Certainly possible. However, not very likely that I will prioritize it. If you got a legal copy of Delphi 2005-2007, you are welcome to help out. Another option is that I add the ability to chain an external program at some points to allow others to implement additional features without paying 1000 Euro to get the compiler.Transportman wrote:Is it possible to also let the program update OpenGFX?

Out of interest, every tried using Lazarus? My last Delphi time is long, long ago though, so no idea how compatible Lazarus is nowadaysZuu wrote:If you got a legal copy of Delphi 2005-2007, you are welcome to help out.

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
Yes, I tried it but it is not really compatible. You can write new stuff with it, but to compile existing projects you have to re-write it a bit. I don't know how much re-writing that is necessary, as I decided to give up on it.Michi_cc wrote:Out of interest, every tried using Lazarus?

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
I wonder why "Last Stable (including pre-stable)" fails with "no openttd.exe".

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
Can you describe what you did?
Did you just install OpenTTD Auto update, added a new target and then hit play (without update)?
Or did you do something else?

Installations, new, Last Stable (including pre-stable), save

I clicked box, it turned yellow. Than I used "Update & play". As this was first run, folder was empty. I got "Do you wish to install (unzip) in (...) folder?"

I clicked OK

I got changelog, I confirmed update

I got trunk and stable without any problems.

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
Hmm, so the actual problem is that there is a failure to unzip the install.
This is the URL that it fetches the zip from. But from your error message I don't think there is a download error.
http://binaries.openttd.org/releases/1. ... -win32.zip
Though you could go to the installation folder of OTTD AU and check the "AutoUpdateCache" folder. It should contain a zip file with the 1.2.3-RC1 zip file. You could just take a look into that zip file and verify that it looks ok.
Another thing that may cause problems is if you create a new OpenTTD installation at a path where OTTDAU doesn't have sufficient rights in order to write files there.

Re: OpenTTD Auto Update - 2.0.6
So there was probably a download error when it used http to get this file:
http://binaries.openttd.org/releases/1. ... -win32.zip
To force it to re-download the zip, you can remove it from the cache directory and try again to perform "Update & Play" (or just "Update" from the action menu).
