Author Topic: DPCustomiser (DPGet 2.0) (Read 11535 times)

If anyone remembers DPGet, I just made a much improved version with a GUI and the possibility to automatically install addons. It took 2 days and is written in Visual C#.

You will require .NET framework 2.0 installed on your system in order to run this. In most cases, it will already be installed on your computer, but if not, you can download it using http://update.windows.com.

This is an alpha version - it is not completed. I have a feeling a lot of bugs are going to crawl out of the woodwork when tested more thoroughly.

Currently this tool can:

Detect the latest installed version of paintball from the registry
Save your settings
Download and in some cases automatically install addons from descriptions on a central server
Download and install maps, mapinfo files, mapshots and entity files from a server you can select

Planned improvements and features include:

Ability to automatically update itself and update installed addons
Create and edit server configurations
Less bugs. (duh)

Here are some screenshots:

You can download the tool here:

If you encounter any bugs, crashes or glitches or can leave some feedback, please post a reply in this thread.

Edit: It's a good idea to unzip it into its own folder as it creates a lot of files when run.

Schweetness. I take it you fixed the map downloading issue?

T3RR0R15T · « **Reply #3 on:** August 20, 2008, 02:01:47 PM »

Looks good and works

Maybe add loc files to the mapdownload.

Nice!!! good job vic.

How about adding more than one map download location, primary, secondary, etc. Maps listed use primary as master, and adds from secondary that dont appear in primary.

Great job Vic. I didn't expect you to have a beta so far along so fast. Great work.

Uhh, when I changed the map location to ftp://www.otb-server.de/pub/Maps/ to download from there, I was hoping it would update that list when I restarted it to show all the bsp files in there. Dunno if it was supposed to or not, but I got this when I clicked Download All with the OTB address to download the maps from:

Dunno if its that important, but it just came up. Also with that, does it only support HTTP addresses? Because the OTB one came up with no BSP files.

ViciouZ · « **Reply #7 on:** August 21, 2008, 06:01:02 AM »

Currently, yes, it only supports HTTP hosted map servers, which poses some trouble seeing as OTB which is the largest uses FTP. I suppose I will have to do FTP handlerss as well, it's just an annoying amount of hassle.

Our server is offline for 1-2 days. We get a new hoster (and new ip). If u implement us, use otb-server.de, not the ip. That will work forever.

If you could put all your maps in a folder on a webserver instead of or aswell as on ftp this time, that would save me a lot of work as you are the only server to host maps on an FTP server.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2008, 01:59:12 PM »

ViciuoZ, have you tried curl? It supports FTP and HTTP and what not. You can find the libraries on their site.

when i add my own server by maps: http://team92.de/paintball2/pball/maps/

ViciouZ · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:15:47 AM »

Because you don't use Apache... I guess I'll have to do something for whatever you're using aswell...

looks really nice. i used it a few time when it was cmd line, but this will make it much more accesible.

package into dpinstall?

----isnt it customizer*, or is this more goofy brit spelling?

webhead · « **Reply #15 on:** August 29, 2008, 02:19:07 AM »

that would be goofy brit spelling.

btw, looks nice vic!

It can now list and download maps from the Arctic map server. Still working on OTB though.

T3RR0R15T · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2008, 06:12:30 AM »

There are no changes, if i check/uncheck the "Tools", "Menus", "HUDs" and "Other" options in the "Addons" tab. With "AutoSetup" the button switches from "Download Addon" to "Install Addon", but the other ones dont work.

Ideas for new features:

- Display a version/build number (so everyone can see if he use the newest version)
- Search ent files in /pball/maps and /pball/maps/ent
- Setting to list /beta maps
- Setting to list /jump maps

ViciouZ · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2008, 07:06:02 AM »

Oh - I forgot to re-add the Update Addons List button after I reorganised everything. Usually you would change the boxes, click the update addons list button and it would only get the addons you specified.

Cameron · « **Reply #19 on:** August 29, 2008, 03:25:42 PM »

Instead of just listing those folders, there might be other ones on the server as well. Plus people who are anti-jump wouldn't want to see that on a customizer.
