For those that are still having updater problems, I\'ve added some features and applied some small bug fixes to my UNOFFICIAL Java updater. Remember that it\'s unofficial and that I am in no way liable for what happens when you use it. Now, the updates/new features:
There\'s now an estimated time to update field (don\'t worry if it starts off with astronomically large update times: it uses average bytes/second (based off of how much has been downloaded so far over elapsed time) to calculate this time and if you start off slow you will get really long estimated DL times in the beginning). This should hopefully be useful to everyone, especially dialup users as it should give them a ball-park estimate of how long they\'ll need to leave their computers on.
I\'ve also re-enabled the ability to *try* to update individual zip entries (instead of downloading the whole package). As far as my testing goes, this does NOT work with Java 1.4.2. (the program will encounter a fatal error and quit when updating certain entries). So, unless you\'re on Windows (this thread is for Macs, so you shouldn\'t be
, though the updater does work with Windows) or have the Tiger prerelease, I don\'t suggest you try it (I actually haven\'t tested it since 3.004, so the suspected corrupt entries may be gone now...). You can enable zip entry mode by launching the JAR file from the command line with the appropriate argument (cd to your Planeshift 3D folder in Terminal and launch with the argument \"zipentries\": \"java -jar Updater.jar zipentries\" ). Note that you can combine this command with \"nogui\" (order doesn\'t matter, just put a space between the two of them).
For those that missed the DL link two pages ago and are too lazy to go find it (
), here it is again:
Updater.jar (25k) Remember that version 1.4.2 of Java or later is required (Therefore, Mac OS version 10.3 or later). Hopefully this will enable those without working updaters to continue playing PS till the updater bug is resolved.
