I'm sure a lot of people are not turning their computers on. That does not really help me when I see tons of things being tested all over the place. Mostly from Russia but also Taiwan & China. Seems to be the big three culprits right now.


This is how it looked 24/7 before the block. This is the log trying to add an EAB FTP user. IP censored.

And before you ask, no, I do not log your passwords when creating a new user. Only IP, Name and question. I enabled this when I saw the HTTP server being hammered.

Anyway, click on "Turran" to the left and "Send a private message to Turran". Then give me the IP you are coming from (Surf to checkip.dyndns.org if you dont know) and I'll exclude you from the blocks.

Wow, things have changed since I was here last time .

Does someone find that small app for creating guide files for AGLaunch useful? If so I could make Java version so it wouldn't be windows only app.

Yes I used it to make new guides for all my demos and games. I deleted all dupes and none English games so had a lot of none working entries but now they are all gone

I'm happy with the PC exe you made so thanks for that

[Solo761]

OK, glad to hear that it's useful to someone .

It works, but it's a real hack job. I wrote it in C# with "what does this button do" methodology .
In the meantime I was transferred to Java programming so now I have some official programming knowledge .

Anyone ever manage to get the pack-updater working on Linux? It freaks out for me as can be seen here - https://i.imgur.com/Xv2LCtQ.png

Thought it may be an easy way to update the collection but maybe not.

From the looks of it, it connects to the FTP just fine but when its time to list files, it craps out. No idea why, but try this version. The files in the root of the FTP is put into an array. This TEST version displays that array just before processing it (Where it craps out) so it might show some more information on why that happens.
Should be safe to put it in place of the other once before running it, if you want.

Doesn't look like it's getting back much of anything - https://i.imgur.com/NcqHTGM.png

Console output was the same:

Is this using dotNET at all? Wine's handling of .NET often goes a bit wonky.

[Turran]

Ok, that array is empty. Makes sense that it craps out after.

No, its an Autoit script. Usually works fine in Wine as well, but this one has FTP functions I've never used before. Its one of them that craps out when trying to list the files.

The squares you do get as output though, hints to a codepage problem, but yeah.. no clue really.

Very Nice Tool thank you

[Retro_71]

Great Tools Thanks

[1time]

Works great. Thanks

[Turran]

Updated it to 0.3b. Two changes.

* Changed maximum length of username and password in the GUI. It was 13 chars max and some people had longer passwords. Could still change it directly in the INI, but easier this way =)

* Changed "English Only" option to use a definable regexp. I actually stole it directly from jbl007s suggestion (quoted) and it seems better than my old one, so lets go with it. Thanks jbl007 =)
It will now save it to the .ini file so if you want to change the regexp that is used to exclude non english titles, you can.

So if you want to include Swedish games but exclude all others, just change it in the ini from
_(Cz|De|Dk|Es|Fi|Fr|Gr|It|Pl|Se)(\.|_)
to
_(Cz|De|Dk|Es|Fi|Fr|Gr|It|Pl)(\.|_)
However, if not comfortable with regexp, better leave it as is.

You must run it at least once to get it written to the ini file.

Updated file on the FTP: Commodore_Amiga/WHDLoad_Packs
To update from previous version, just replace the .exe. Thats it.

should catch 'em all.

Please note. Retroplay have renamed the # folder to 0. If you do not want to download the whole thing again on your next update, in your Download/Database/Commodore_Amiga_-_WHDLoad_-_Games folder, rename the # to 0 before running EAB-WHDLoad_Pack_Downloader.exe again.

Also do the same in the Download\DataBase\Commodore_Amiga_-_WHDLoad_-_Demos folder.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Turran]

Update 0.4:
Can now take care of JST games from Retroplay as well.

New checkbox: "Download Beta". Only shown when JST is selected. I only found 4 beta JST games at the this time but added it anyway.
New checkbox: "Show Progress while downloading". When checked, shows a splash screen with what it is currently doing. Quite spammy if its downloading lots so made it an option.
New exe: Added EAB-WHDLoad_Pack_Downloader_consoleversion.exe, if you would rather have the old visuals of what it was doing. Same program but this opens the CMD window you saw with earlier versions.
New hotkey: Press Shift-Escape to exit the program. If its currently downloading something, it will finish that file first.

Can I request to be able to minimize the app and/or no always on top/no self centering of the window.

Thanks

[spudje]

Thanks for the update Turran. In a future version could make it possible to download both WHDLoad & JST (in one go)?

Do you mean the status window when downloading? Yeah, that was a bit of a hack. Uncheck the "Show Progress while downloading" checkbox. If you still want to see it work, use the "consoleversion" instead.
I'll probably remove that in the next version and going back to the consoleversion only.

Do you really run it that often to make that an issue? =)
