#1
Posted 21 February 2014 - 12:31 AM
As promised, here is the open beta of the new Updater, code name: v4.
Changelog:
- fixed download issues with bad internet connections
- fixed the md5 mismatch issue
- fixed all OSX 10.9 issues
- fixed the window freeze when checking the md5sum
- statically linked builds, it means that you can get rid of all the .dll, only the .exe is needed now
- at the first launch of the updater, it tells you where the game will be installed
- settings menu on which you can:
-- select a mirror server for the downloads depending on your location
-- select the engine that you want to run. Once selected, the Updater will always update the engine by itself if it finds a new version. We'll try to provide latest versions of some popular 4.2 engines (r00t, p5yco...). Feel free to contact me to add your engine to the list
-- select the version that you want to download (latest one only atm)
-- select your update preferences: auto-update at Updater's launch or ask before updating
- you accept the Q3 SDK license only once at the first launch of the Updater
- the Updater downloads only the files needed for your platform / arch
- latest news displayed on the Updater, important ones in orange or red
- new "global progress" download bar
- showing the total amount of MB remaining
Known issues:
- can't launch the game from the Updater on OSX if the path to the .app file contains spaces
- "QFontDatabase: Cannot find font directory /usr/local/Qt-5.2.1/lib/fonts - is Qt installed correctly? Aborted" error on some linux distributions

Tried in Debian/testing and it exit with that error on qt fonts.
Maybe you already know it but in any case, there is a posible solution to the QFont error by embeding the fonts.

i do like that the latest news are displayed ..
design can use a little work ...
- a quit/ exit button would be nice,
- the changelog pop up with white background is odd
- the bulky changelog/ play button needs work
aside from that it's great to see development is happening and published.. thanks

@PowerSSaiyanX: does the path to the Updater contain spaces? I think it's the same issue as on OSX.
@KarlMariaSeeberg:
- quit button: there is already the red cross button and cmd + q, isn't it enough?
- changelog background: I'll have a look, thanks
- "bulky changelog/play button" => could you develop please?
Thanks!

i know technically it's not necessary but the lack of an exit button just makes it look like you forgot something ..
i can try to design a button :) format?
the only thing i'd change is the large grey square .. text and animated logos look great..
i'd try to make the button correspond with the fading background
