Having problems with rsync-updater - satuim - 02-21-2015
You may remember me from 2013. I had problems obtaining the 0.7 update.The Thread in Question
I'm having issues again with 0.8. Well things have changed, I'm no longer using my Mac for games very much, I'm currently on Windows 7. I go to run "update-to-release.bat" It will download however it will just freeze, CMD is still responding and everything.

It just stops downloading and i'm receiving no more data
problem-xonotic2.PNG (Size: 1.21 KB / Downloads: 134)
If you read the old thread I changed a setting to download for all OS's so my rsync updater could be corrupt or the "permissions" that were mentioned... But I really don't know what is happening.
Could someone please help?

Run the 'update-to-autobuild.bat' script twice, then things should work.
There is a known issue with the update-to-release.bat script and 0.8, that was fixed in newer builds.

Might have misunderstood did you mean run 2 instances at once?
I have tried many times running it.
Would giving me an update-to-date version of "rsync-updater" help?
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Mr. Bougo - 02-22-2015
Nah, update-to-autobuild.bat hasn't changed.
Don't ever run two instances at once. I don't even know what that'll do, but surely no good
Does it always get stuck on the same xonotic-wgl file? If so, perhaps try to rename that file to whatever name (it'll get removed anyway in case of success) and see how it goes.

Unless someone can upload a fresh copy to another cloud storage server like MEGA.

I don't understand. How would uploading it somewhere else help you with the download?
At this point, redownloading everything might be your best bet. I really don't understand why the updater would break.

I know we shouldn't download games on these connections. But having the game in Dropbox or something will be fine as Cloud Storage is allowed. As Xonotic will just be another random file on my account.

Maybe your rsync updater is as blocked as xonotic.org is on that network.

No i'm running rsync updater on my own network.
I want to avoid downloading 1gb on my own network.
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Pendulla - 03-10-2015
Why? You have a limited data plan? 1 gb isn't really that much in this century :-D Also my experience is that you are going to download that 1 gb through updater also since it has basically deleted all my files and replaced with new ones. And you shoyld back up all maps because they are going to be deleted if you want to avoid more downloads.
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Mr. Bougo - 03-10-2015
Oh, so you want to download Xonotic from work, I guess?
I don't think distributing Xonotic via any of these cloudy-cloud-cloud services is ToS-compliant. Ask someone to download it for you and put it on a usb drive or something.
@Pendulla: The updater only touches the install directory. Users should only make changes in their personal data directory (in Saved Games), which the rsync updater will never touch.
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Pendulla - 03-11-2015
Well then something wrong happened when i updated. No harm done though. I don't mind redownloading maps. They change all the time.
Edit: it didn't touch my user dir in saved games. But the downloaded maps are located in the data dir in xonotic folder. At least that's how it works for me.
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Mr. Bougo - 03-11-2015
By "downloaded maps", do you mean dlcache? I don't think the engine ever stores dlcache anywhere outside of the user dir. It can happen that the user dir is the same as the data dir in the xonotic directory, but then you don't have anything at all in saved games. Having both saved games AND dlcache outside saved games should never happen.
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Pendulla - 03-12-2015
I meant manually downloaded maps. I didn't check if dllcache was deleted but i guess it wasn't.
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Mr. Bougo - 03-12-2015
Oh. dlcache is in the user directory. Anything that you would put in the install directory, you can put in the user directory instead
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Pendulla - 03-13-2015
I tried that but maps wouldn't list in server create tab when i put them in the user data dir. They would list there only if i put them in the xon data dir.
RE: Having problems with rsync-updater - Mirio - 03-13-2015
You need to put them where the config.cfg is located in your user dir.
~\xonotic\data and not ~\xonotic\data\data
