343 I have a quick question for you. In an earlier post on the CPW you mentioned instructions. After downloading the new files there were no instructions for it included. Unless they're in the new Dev-Tools that I haven't downloaded yet.
If not would you mind sending me a copy, please?

The instructions for it are in the folder for it /opt/cpw titled README
Indeed, instructions are in README as crx said :)Originally Posted by crxfreak
This readme is located in the server section of the release /opt/cpw/README as crx said, and it is ALSO in PW_DEV /cpw/README as well
Ok after reading through the readme file for CPW, let me get this straight.... In order for it to work, I have to FULLY unpack everything in the client, such as the interfaces.pck has to be unpacked with something like sPCK into it's folder version, then the folder has to be placed in the elements folder with the name interfaces, right? And this has to be done with all .pck files in their respective locations?
And the address in the updateserver. txt in the patcher/server folder has to be what? "http://ipaddress/cpw/" or is there more to it?

Also does this mean I have to put the complete original version in the opt/cpw/files/cpw and then put new files to download for updates in opt/cpw/files/cpw? Or do I put the full client in the opt/cpw/files/new and then simply add/replace updated files for updates?
Also where do I put the new version number so that the patcher recognizes the need to update to the new version? It says:
But where is this ./cpw revision/new?STEP 3) TO CREATE PATCHES - PLACE NEW FILES IN:
/opt/cpw/files/new/
3.B)
./cpw revision [revision_number]
or
./cpw new [revision_number]

Sorry full of questions aren't I.... XP
YES
CORRECT
Indeedly Doodly
Again, yes
Yes, Place the FULLY unpacked client in /opt/cpw/files/new/
YOU DONT - you HAVE to run the INITIAL build FIRST
CPW is the command, REVISION NEW INITIAL are all 'switches', AFTER you've ran initial build (using the INITIAL switch) you can make patches by placing your new files in /opt/cpw/files/new/ again (just like you did for your initial build) and run CPW with the switch NEW or REVISION -- at that time, if you haven't specified a revision/new # IT will FOR you (automatically)...
So basically it's all automatic now. Simply setup the original base files, run the initial build to tell the system those are the first version. Then add/replace files in the same directory and tell it there's new stuff and it will setup the update for users on it's own with a custom version number and everything....
Does the server have to be off during the update? Or can it be left running constantly, still add in new files and just hit the NEW switch and it will keep going?
OK 343 24 hours after initial build it finally finished. Now here is my question, I have already customized a skin, however when replacing the skin in the patcher from you it wont launch. Is it possible to re key the patcher/launcher I have to work with this cpw?
first and foremost, it fundementally worked though right ???
Yes it works straight from your release, which is awesome much praise. However like I mentioned replacing just the skin folder causes the patcher not to launch. The skin comes from the current cn patcher btw.
You may not want to do the entire 'skin' directory then... I'm not sure of the differences between this one, and the newest (or if the newest would even work [after 'keyed' right])...
First I think I would try to port over or re-create the skin for this patcher. If not -- then you could look into re 'keying' (and I can help with that too)...
Could I pm you my patcher files?
Ok, quick problem. I've unpacked all of the pck files into the main element directory. However, there is already a fonts folder to begin with so the fonts.pck is going to try to override it. What should I do about this?
crx, don't replace the whole skins folder, go through file by file and test stuff to see what works and you also need to get the maps right but i'm sure you already knew that...
Either way, don't replace the whole folder, just do a few files at a time and experiment with trial and error
Yea the maps are hugely different. I will try a few files at a time and see how it goes.
Edit: OK didn't get far, the first file moved was the mainuni xml file and it wont launch. Re keyed the patcher and launcher exe files and then moved my skin over and voila. Thank a lot for all the help and your hard work 343.
