1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted September 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 3, 2012 Isn't this redundant since HSFX has an Autoupdater? Not at all. The AutoUpdater only updates an existing 6.01 so CheckMods is fabulous, it will quite literally update any install FT and I discussed the possibility of it checking to see how many files needed updating, and pulling compressed alternatives if a threshold was reached. This would save on bandwidth and speed the process up. Yes indeed. Would be very good.But, I've been thinking about it ... and it is kinda tricky.... as in... what to zip up as a set? What belongs 'together'? How can one be sure one has the correct set zipped up? Aha, I know...Checkmods makes a fix-it-report, sends it to the server, the server packs all those files together, mails it to the owner of the issues... ) In properly sized portions for sure... You only need to do some research and some scripting Rog .... I've been doing some extensive testing the past week Rog, is that visible in traffic? Significantly increased bandwidth usage there?

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted September 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 3, 2012 Isn't this redundant since HSFX has an Autoupdater? What Rog said.Like if you run Checkmods, and let it do its work, you'll find your install will have a specific set of mods active (history, expert, perfect landscape, hakenkreuz, Tioger's flyby) and it will ad the G11 as flyable for free! (But, it will ignore other items in the MODS folder, so that's safe...although I should make sure the distress call position mod is removed maybe) So, it is not an Autoupdater, it's more, and it's dd-specific. We could do all kinds of cool things with it... like even make sure every dog has a specific set of skins... or whatever ... Quote
JensenPark Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 well, i can now get 6.1.2 yay but it crashes at 5% ran the modcheck (4 hours). accidentally ran updater for client (server I assume) ran updater (got that goofy Vision ++ error again) feckin' mods. Quote
Snacko Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I agree with Jabo, I would start from scratch and just install all the patches up to 4.11.1, and then HSFX 6.0 and then the patches for HSFX. You are the first one I have heard of trying to install/patch/mod the game using FTs Modchecker. Not saying it doesn't work. But the old way is tried and tested AFAIK. Quote
BadAim Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 It's OK to have Kelly for a Guinness, er guinea pig, though as we don't care if we hurt his feelings. As a matter of fact, if we get to point and laugh, it's only a win-win! That said, I would try a complete re-install, as we need more cannon fodder. I love you, man. Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted September 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 3, 2012 There was a script indeed Rog, I edited that access file via the extplorer and changed Kelly's IP address to the one he's currently using. Not sure whether a script is needed, as I wonder how many people will get into that much trouble where a re-patch won't fix the issue... Of course, we got Kelly... Oh, and there's that weird issue that Fenrir has with the Ardennes wintermap, checkmods might be of help to analyze where the problem really is... By removing the .htaccess file (or rename it) that will take away the check all together.. Saw no obvious impact from your testing either! Quote
JensenPark Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 ok...I deleted a bunch of crap and found that stupid vision ++ thing and killed it with extreme prejudice...and lo and behold I have 6.0.1.2 working. big test is whether I can connect now. AND: what is current version you guys are using (before the big move to HSFX) Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted September 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 3, 2012 Before HSFX? That must've been 4.10.1m, with UP3, RC4. (Ultrapack 3, release candidate 4) I've put up a dogfight map, especially for you, try and see if you can connect: ft.dangerdogz.com:21000 Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted September 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 3, 2012 What? Checkmods did not fix your issues? Hm... Oops... Quote
JensenPark Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks all you mutts. Was able to connect successfully to FT's server. just have to fiddle with pedals, some controls and so on. looking forward to be being back. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted September 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 3, 2012 well done JP, it will be great to have you back on comms adding a bit of gravitas to the preceedings Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted September 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 3, 2012 Bloody hell Friar, how did you manage to say 'Gravitas' with your tongue so firmly inserted in cheek? Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted September 4, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 4, 2012 ~S~ Kelly, Well I'm glad that was all streight forward M8 !! LOL ~S~ Mick. Quote
JensenPark Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 odd...when i run modcheck on 6.1.3 the game crashes at 5% Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted September 9, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 9, 2012 Is not that odd. The version you are using is not yet aware of 6.0.13. Try and use 'File, Download BluePrints' or better yet, get the latest ChkMods version from the vault. Quote
JensenPark Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 thought I would run it...and when I use the autoupdater, I get to 6 3, but it crashes at 5%. I'm taking another 4.1.1.1.1..1.1.1.1 (whatever) and re-installing the big hsfx and starting from scratch. Quote
