NEW 12/8 : The SE IV Companion 0.82 Released

[Ruatha]

Fixed a "To Do" button and enabled a list showing all unuploaded games with deadlines and a button to launch that games companion.

Found and fixed bug:
If uploaded through main window and game companion wasn't opened, the app crashed.

I want to fix the remaining bugs reported in this thread before I release next Version.

These are the ones I want to fix primarily:
-Ragnaroks Download problem.
-Dogscoffs Mod show and download problems.

Most other I've been able to fix already.

Ruatha,
The new dl file didn't seem to do anything. I still cannot download the files, same error as before. Then in the dl folder found in the companion_resource folder there are not logs. I have logging enabled for downloads but it still creates none. There is a single file in the dl folder called #CPDE_ that is just 1kb in size and I cannot open with any programs. The type of file is just "file."

Edit: Just thought I would make known as well that the savegames from all my mods show up in the main screen as well. But I believe you fixed that...

Hi.
The CPDE is an error file, a simple textfile, it can be opened in notepad but propably won't contain any worthful info.

If download logs are enabled it should make a file with "gamename_turnnumber_dl.log"? i e zeta1_69_dl.log
The download logs are created in the Companion_resource directory, not in the Dl directory.
The Dl directory should usually be empty, it's a signal from the download program to the companion when it places a file there.


If you have debug log enabled, the Companion.log should contain some information,
Can you send that to me? It's also in the Companion_resource and is always created, if the program starts, it is created. (Disregarding log mode).

All savegames should show up in the main screen.
Does the filter function on the left not work?
I haven't fixed anything about mods showing, as I don't have any information to go on there.

What happens if you choose a filter by clicking on a line in the left modlistbox, ALL, NONE and a mod?

Ok, no log files even in the root directory. But here is the companion.log file for you to look at.

I deleted everything of the companion and reinstalled it and set it up and still the same errors.

And the savegame issue was my fault. I didn't realize I had "all" selected on the left.

Ok, thanks.
I'll send a new Version shortly with better log capacity, this comp.log gives no clue.
EDIT:
I got an idea!
The #CPDE file didn't have any ending?
If you open it with notepad, or send it to me, does it have anything under saved to:?

[Ragnarok]

The #CPDE file says the following:

Game: Turn: PBW Identity:

URL:
(this was my password here so I took it out)
saved to:

TOTAL FAILURE, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!

Brought to you by Ruatha (tm)! (Se Ya)

I also attached the new comp.log for you. The KOTH game at the end is the game I am trying to download to test this.

[Ruatha]

Thanks, I see it.
Will have a fixed ver for you in a coule of minutes!
