Caarrie: Found the "Modify" button. Thanks.
Does replying to your own post with additional info (that might not be good to include in the original) constitute a double post?
Thought that was when you hit submit twice, or with the exact same info, like bump etc.
I'll do edits to this post until I get a reply, but it seems a bit asinine.
Wasn't really expecting to be forum nazied in the dev boards.
"also keep in mind that you can take time to do whatever you want that does not mean the dev team will accept it..."
Well yea, that's sort of the nature of open source...either implement it for yourself, and/or submit it so that others can use it or improve off of it.
Have you had trouble getting inclusions past the dev team??
Either way I'm not going to get pissed off just because something isn't accepted, main thing is I get familiar with the code...
neko kyouran: thanks
found the code here:
http://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/planeshift/trunk/docs/compiling.htmldidn't notice what it was written in though
Mordraugion: GPL = teh good; was mainly looking into a simple automation script for the current interface... If this can be done with a simple .bat style file included in an optional patch, along with the "updaterinfo.xml" fix, I think it would help end user frustration...
<edit> actually why not include a good "updaterinfo.xml" in the "Updater patch for Windows" (along with psupdater.exe)?
At this point would do a scripted file for each supported OS (rather than an actual app that is cross platform)
Starting with windoze'r
<edit> apparently not necessary (at least for windows) with a "good" copy of psupdater.exe (see bottom)
Now back to the joys of .bat--will post any code I think is worth considering...
Thanks for the replies,

<edit> The gui idea was mainly something that could be quickly implemented, or made available now--not something that would really compete with a GUI in the works.
<edit> As of 6:00am CST the updater appears to be automated--at least for me. Maybe I got a bad version? It downloaded a new version just beforehand, but it's still showing 1.0. Seems to be a few (at least 2) versions floating around. When I did "Updater patch for Windows" along with a fresh install--prior to this morning, I still had to manually do each file. I'll confirm this on another fresh install. If the registry doesn't get uninstalled completely will have to do that manually also--wonder how much that has to do with the updater.
Either I just patched a good version of the updater or someone's been doing some late night/early morning work o_0 (assuming they're in the Western Hemisphere)...
<edit> Looks like the uninstall misses a few files in C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Steel Blue--deleted them. Also, didn't see any registry keys left that would explain the updater starting to work properly all of a sudden. Wish I had a copy of the old updater log (the one with "ms5sum dosen't match client ms5sum") hmm...
<edit> Did a fresh install and ran psupdater.exe:
For 0.4.01 looks like the updater starts at 5 then updates to 1.0

Is the "Updater patch for Windows" necessary (or desired) at this point?
Unless there were residual installation files/settings/registry entries/etc. on my system that made the psupdater.exe start working right off the bat, I don't think it's necessary any more.
Otherwise is there a full manual uninstall list available somewhere?
