M&B Module Updater

[Makuy]

Hi!

First off this mod is one of the bests!

(back to topic)

Is that normal that it takes so long it just says: actions.txt not found. Creating a new file...
i didnt change anything.

Should i redownload the updater?

Glad it worked out. If I might suggest something else... if you want this to be a compiled executable you might want to consider switching out of python to a compiled language as creating an executable out of a python script (just IMHO) kinda defeats the purpose of it being an interpreted language.

You may want to consider trying VB.NET since the language isn't complete different syntax wise to python and this would probably SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the size of the updater along with other various benefits... but up to your consideration obviously. Issue there being then people would have to install the .NET framework on their computers which is quite sizeable though I would be surprised if a large amount of the people here didn't have .NET already installed.
Edit: C, C++ or whatever if you're familiar with any compiled languages. Only mentioned VB.NET since to my mind it's probably one of the closer related languages syntactically.

Not sure how controversial speaking of such things are on these forums

I considered switching to C++. I think I'll release v0.5 as a compiled python (+installation wizard) and then rewrite whole thing in C++. This may take a while since I don't know C++ yet

Make sure you pointed a good path to your SoD directory. In example mine is "D:\Program Files\Mount&Blade\Modules\Sword of Damocles - Gold V4.5 beta".

Well, I've tried everything I could think of to see if I could get this to work for me.

Anyone able to get this to work in Windows 7?

Anyone getting the same output?

.7z a is compression format.

You can get the program to unzip it at their website: http://www.7-zip.org/

There are other free unzip programs that will work as well (like zipgenius)

To get this over to all you Windows 7 users, chances are this mod will not work if you are using Windows 7. Anyway, great thing to have... A goal for this would be for it possible for you to download enhancement "packs" like polished landscapes and buildings... I still remember tearing my hair our try to figure out how to get landscapes in.

I doubt it has anything to do with windows 7, I've been using windows 7 (x64) the whole time.

I presume you're talking about this updater rather than the mod (either case, i'm running windows 7 and both are working)? If this is the case then it could be a quite a few things such as pointing to the wrong folder for the updates, firewall blocking the download (either hardware i.e. from the router or software i.e. windows firewall), antivirus program could possibly block the updater from running for some reason... seems less likely.

Try directly going to this link in your browser: http://sod-update-server.cba.pl/sodfiles/actions.txt
If it doesn't come up then something is probably blocking you from accessing it since that is one of the files the updater downloads for you.

The mod works for me - other than having to turn off the "pause after battle" thing.
