Title: FS2_Open Launcher OS X 3.0 Notification
Post by: Soulstorm on July 10, 2009, 02:27:14 am

I am starting a new thread so that anyone can see it. I will also update any links I can find...

Well, gys it seems things are screwed once again and my current ISP is giving me headaches. I moved some time ago, and I changed phone account. My old account was deleted and I don't have access to my old web space, that stored the update data and newest versions of the Launcher. www.soulstorm-creations.com is fine, and I intend to tranfer all the data in there. However, the Launcher until version 3.1 will consult the old web location when searching for updates, in which I don't have access to.

That means that in order to make the "check for updates" button work again, I must make an newer version, that must be downloaded non-automatically. I will post a link here when it is ready.

Sorry for what inconvenience that may cause, but believe me, there is no other way. Until problems resolve, you can download any newer versions of the Launcher here (http://www.soulstorm-creations.com/PROJECT_SOULSTORM_2_0/cocoa-objective-c/fs2-open-launcher-os-x-3.0.html).

Check back in this thread often. I will post a link soon...

The OS X Launcher is working just fine at my end. Thanks for your work, Soulstorm, much obliged. :)

Thanks. Nevertheless, for the sake of completeness, I decided not to wait to have to update the application and then urging the users to download from another location.

So, I have everything set up. There are 3 ways to update the application so that it reflects the most recent server changes. Choose what fits you best.

Go here (http://www.soulstorm-creations.com/PROJECT_SOULSTORM_2_0/cocoa-objective-c/fs2-open-launcher-os-x-3.0.html) and redownload FS2_Open, which is now at version 3.1.1
Use this link (http://www.soulstorm-creations.com/support/fs2_launcher/FS2_Open_Launcher_3.1.1.dmg)
In your copy of FS2_Launcher, right click, show Pachage Contents, navigate to Contents->info.plist and open that file with your text editor. Find "http://users.otenet.gr/~mecos/Development/Objc/filez/FS2_Open_Launcher/fs2_open_launcher.xml" and change it to "http://www.soulstorm-creations.com/support/fs2_launcher/feed.xml"
Now, if you run the application and hit the Check For Updates button, you will see the new version available

I also improved the read-me file (http://soulstorm-creations.com/support/fs2_launcher/readme.html), with information on adding standalone mods to the Launcher, and some more information.

I strongly insist on making the change now. Otherwise, you will have no way of downloading future updates using the "Check For Updates" Button!

Please post back to tell me if everything works fine.

EDIT: Sorry for the unnecessary links, the forum converts them automatically in active links. Anyway, treat them as plain text, find in the document the specified string, and replace it with the given one.
