New version, anyway. Now uses the registry, as Cobo pointed out, and added error handling which was for some reason missing from the version I posted.

k, now make a GUI

and 'maybe' you'll get to be a cow someday

...that sounds like just going to the maps folder on dplogin.

btw - eiii you're program is over twice the size of his..

btw - mine is a stand-alone program. His his a batch file that goes with a third-party program you have to download.

Haha the size difference was 1kb, twas a joke.
Also, there is no need for a GUI for such a simple program.

Cheers,

I'm implementing an update feature into the program to check for updates on the packages you download when you run paintball.
Also new is going to be:
- Improved searching
-~~Ability to choose pball directory~~ done 0.3
- Possibly integrated installers for zip files

Thanks for the suggestions. Anyway, I've reached an agreement with the author of download.exe and for the tiny fee of £6 I can redistrobute it.

The great thing about batch files are
1. They're easy to use.
2. Anyone can see the code, learn from it, point out errors and make their own improvements.

Here is 0.3

Also, if you want a LOT of maps (complete OTB ftp server) type *.bsp at the "Enter map name..." dialog. Note: typing *.* intercourses up DPGet by copying the files.

KnacK · « **Reply #25 on:** April 18, 2007, 11:22:13 AM »

Filter out *.* so that it doesn't happen.

ViciouZ · « **Reply #26 on:** April 18, 2007, 11:38:00 AM »

I will in 0.4 when I get back.

y00tz · « **Reply #27 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:13:48 PM »

Suggestions:

1. Allow users to not enter a directory, and allow it to go to default. (C:\games\paintball2)
2. The typing TWICE of the pb2 directory seems annoying and pointless

Note: when it asks you to reenter the directory, just hit up and it should show it

Question, what license is this released under, can the user redistribute?

edit: +1 karma for good work, keep it up

C# is easy to use and since c# is a .NET language, I can use .NET reflector to see the code

Bad idea. I have 3 versions of pball on my computer, and I want it to go to the right one (currently "\painball2b17").

I believe you missed my reply earlier where I recommended (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5865.msg67835#msg67835) he allow users to change the directory. What I'm saying is, if a user just hits enter twice it would default C:\games\paintball2\, instead of nothing. He should allow users to set directories as I stated before, I was just suggesting he add a 'catch' for the end-user if they fail to enter something.

I guess to understand the context, you would have had to read my reply earlier.

No harm.
Cheers,

Sorry, must have over read that.

y00tz · « **Reply #32 on:** April 18, 2007, 08:05:08 PM »

Yeah np Z,

I was just thinking of a way to improve the program without adding unnecessary junk.

KnacK · « **Reply #33 on:** April 18, 2007, 08:21:03 PM »

Also,

Depending upon the reg key for the install directory is not a good thing. As I also have a few different versions installed like Z does.

Keep up the great work though V

ViciouZ · « **Reply #34 on:** April 19, 2007, 10:49:23 AM »

OK, here's version 0.4:

Changes:
- Default DP directory (just press enter)
- Filtered out *.* on map input screen
- Fixed bug in "Search Files"
- Added buggy but usable "Check fo updates" option *
- Edited about text

*Currently only works for the script itself. Please test this option to see if it works. Currently it will ALWAYS find a new version, that is in there for testing purposes.

Remember: If you find any bugs or have suggestions or questions just post them here or PM me.

It works.

Good job V, it works very smooth. When I try to download map *.bsp it downloads 5 then freezes (on 1_.. something or another) Do I just have all maps or is this a problem?

Well done,
Cheers,

I think that was a bug on the OTB servers. I left my copy of DPGet running and it managed to get to shazam so I don't think it was the script.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #37 on:** April 19, 2007, 01:30:11 PM »

I would try to see if I got the same error, but it won't go through my proxy. Don't worry about trying to make it go through it, I've got 16 days till the end of the semester (ie No more evil proxy! WOO!). Besides, nothing gets through the bloody thing.

Ok, version 0.5:

- Added news feature.
- Added fallback map server *
- Fixed mahusive bug to do with DP directory

* If a map is not found on OTB, it will try DPLogin. I will add more soon, but atm I haven't tested it because I have yet to find a map OTB don't have.

Want to release this before I start working on a package updater for Zorch's menus.

You can download it here, but I'd rather you tried the update feature. If a news feature appears on the menu, it will have worked. Post back here for feedback.
