Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

Now the music works, it can have 101 songs in a playlist for each game, if it's a favorite game it will remember the Last played song.
It plays both mp3 and mid.

Now to the uploads... that's worse...

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

Ruatha, most likely my advice is stupid and incorrect, but afaik pbw will accept only quoted path in the form, ie
'c:\games\se4\savegames\blah_x.plr'

or with double quotes:
"c:\games\se4\savegames\blah_x.plr"

(i don't remember which variant is used, and pbw is offline at the moment, so I can't check it).

I don't think this will help, but you can try http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I belive so, if so you are my Hero!!!!!

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

Hi Aiken.
It doesn't seem to work.
With double quotes I get:
Cannot execute player command: Bad inputs to uploadPlayerTurn


and with single quotes:

Cannot execute player command: Filename uploaded was unexpected; expecting: se4ct2_0001.plr


Back to the black hole of despair again!

Edit:

I don't get it, now when I enter the full path it accepts it....without quotes!
I'm kinda pretty sure (92%) that I've tested that before and then it didn't work.

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

The single quote error message you are getting sounds promising. That's what you would get if you used the regular web interface and tried to upload the wrong file. Are you sure it's typing the filename correctly? It's including the path and the file extension?

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

Now it accepts everything without quotes, can't wait to get home and try it with an actual gamefile and see if it's the correct file it takes.
Now I'm at work and uses renamed textfiles.
The path is the same when I used single, double and no quotes

c:\temp\se4ct2_0001.plr

EDIT:
Guess I'll have to write down my assuredness that I'd tried this before to, oooh 48% now

And to think that I've tried all those strange HTTP header programming and teared my hear (Not actually but it sounds good) when it was this easy... if it is..

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

Now the companion can upload aswell.
have spent almost all day after work to bugtrack a bug whendeleteing a favorite in the favorite settings window.
Will have to check all download options now and see that they work as expected before finishing the mail options!!

It's going good right now.
Now off to pick up the kids from school.

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

Soon very soon.
Uplaods seems to be working, mail download and zip unpacking seems fine (Have only tested with one mail at a time yet).

To do:
Mail upload.
General Error handling.
Check for obvious bugs.

Release beta 0.7 and write the documentation afterwards(?)

If so.. perhaps.. tomorrow (Dangerous, don't trust this statement!!)

Now off to dinner with my boss!

Release schedule:
0.7 rough beta.
Help files
0.8 Bugfixed beta and eventual new features.
0.9 bugfixes
1.0 Final

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
 

I wonder though if the .plr file will be in C:\temp\ on everybodies computers? Is that something that varies from machine to machine depending on your setup? Would it be preferable/possible to give the program a path setting that you can configure so it knows where to locate the savegame folder?

It takes the path that the plr file has, I was just using that TEMP path at work to test it out.
At home it uses different paths for 1.84 and 1.91 games.
