The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.

[Aiken]

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

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.

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?

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..

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.

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?
