Nocturne patchlist creator. (with C# source)

[spikensbror]

Decided to release this after all.
It generates patchlists just as eFlyFFs generator does, with proper directory listings as well.

Guide:

Spoiler

You put the patch files in the "CLEAN_PATCH" folder, then run the application and it should generate it into the "RESCLIENT" folder.

Configuration run-through:

Spoiler

The configuration file looks like this:

<config>
    
    <patchListVer>34</patchListVer>
    <resClientFolder>RESCLIENT</resClientFolder>
    <shouldZip>False</shouldZip>
    
</config>

patchListVer is the version of the patcher.

resClientFolder is the folder where it puts the files after it has generated list and zipped all files.

shouldZip is if it should zip the files or not.

Note: You will have to compile this yourself using "Visual C# Professional/Express 2008" since binaries aren't supplied.

Download attached.

Nice. Won't use it personally but still, nice. :3

Cool.

I'm surprised you didn't make a thread asking if it should be released.

Any screenshots of it though?

 

[spikensbror]

It's a console application, so nothing to look at really.

 

[Dell Honne]

Eh I wouldn't mind a screenshot of what it does but sure lol.

 

[spikensbror]

It does what it's supposed to.
Double click, it outputs every file it zips/generates, then exits upon completion so.

Doesnt work for me.
Placed item.res inside the CLEAN_PATCH folder
Started gzip.exe
But nothing in the RESCLIENT folder.

 

[spikensbror]

You're supposed to compile the program, then run Nocturne.exe.

That is awesome, might develop on it if I get time later on. How long did it take?

 

[spikensbror]

I don't know, 30 - 40 minutes at most.

Should have integrated gzip into the application instead of making it exec 5mln times :/. I heard it's pretty easy in CLR.

 

[ShadowDragon]

i don't think it works right.. at least not for me
i modified the config and ran it. with ShouldZip set to false, it makes the list.txt just fine. but with it set to true, you get copies of the zipped and unzipped files in resclient and it never gets to the list.txt file (i'm guessing this is because of what Cookiezzz said).

 

[spikensbror]

Fix it in the source then.
You have source, go fix.

 

[ShadowDragon]

Dude, calm down..
I wasn't asking you or anyone else to fix it. Merely stating what it did when I tried it.

Uhm why do you want him to calm?

He ain't developing anymore on it. If you want an improved version, you got the source right there.

 

[spikensbror]

I was absolutely calm, stating that you got the source, why not do anything about it yourself?
If don't know how to, then just go out of this post.
No-one is going to do it for you.

 

[ShadowDragon]

wow, fails all around. you both focused on the pointless part of my post and ignored the part that matters.
I said I wasn't asking anybody to fix it. merely stating what happened when I tried to use it. The reason I did that, is in case anybody did want to use it, thinking that it already works like it should.
