Hi guys,
I was tired to wait for a fix on cRPG Launcher so I made a minimalist script to update cRPG mod based on c-rpg.net resource files.

How it works:
First: It requires to have cRPG installed, I mean at least the cRPG folder and version.txt file inside.
I didn't had time to make a graphical interface so the only way is to use command line or by using a shortcut with argument.
By command line :
Just supply the cRPG directory:
crpg_update.exe "X:\MountBlade Warband\Modules\cRPG"
The program will check the current version and will update required files if there is a new version.
This avoid to have to download the whole module of over 500 MB.

This only require access to c-rpg.net on port 80 (HTTP), no privilege required.
I mad this script with Python but I can provide a compiled/executable version.
If an admin is interested to check and approve this program before posting it here, PM-me.
This only require access to c-rpg.net on port 80 (HTTP), no privilege required.

no privilege required.
fucking check itI meant, this doesn't require admin privilege.
I meant, this doesn't require admin privilege.You're crossing the line.
Sir, are you a wizard?Nah, just a nerd.
Does it mine bitcoins at background?Sad, really sad to read this shit.

Tu rox elio, faut faire circuler la nouvelle :wink:C'est encore non-officiel, il faut attendre.
Please make a tutorial for retarded people. When I launch the thing, a window appears for a split second, then it disappears again. I'm using Windows 8.1 x64. Through quick reflexes I managed to catch a glimpse of the window:
Tried your updater again (after crpg launcher updated banners), it downloaded banners once again and it completely removed custom banners (only native ones left).
crpg launcher downloads correct ones though, I uploaded a banner after updater broke and now I see it correctly.
Why are there so many IT gods around... :shock:

Disabling personalization pretty much fixes the problem. Now it doesn't show me anything related to my search.The tin foil inside me gets triggered whenever I see Google. It's not as much about what results are shown, as it is about what data Google collects about us. I know that data collection is unavoidable in the internet, my country even blatantly allows ISPs to collect private, personal data on their users. But that little difference - using websites alternative to Google - is a manifestation of disagreement to data collection. I like to keep hope alive, but it will probably only get worse, we already live in a cyberpunk dystopia if you think about it. It's just that the "dystopia" part is very subtle, almost unnoticable - and for a reason.

Unless you want to add a small novel =D

I havent played cRPG in a long while...and go figure when I decide to come back it seems hell has broke loose.Do you have filelist.txt in cRPG folder? If not, try making the file, its contents don't matter afaik.
Here's my issue...

Yup, its in there and has contents.Maybe it's read only? Or you have a program running in the background that's using the file, like cRPG Launcher or Warband?

Writing into "Program Files (x86)" & "Program Files" and system' directories in general requires administrative privileges since Windows Vista.I did not think about that.
So your only way to allow crpg_update.exe to write into program files is launching it as administrator.
By the way that's the reason why cRPG launcher requires admin privileges.
Another solution: updating it manually
With help of GUI, create on desktop a temporary folder and then choose this folder to update/install cRPG. Or simply copy the cRPG folder from your game to the desktop.
Then you have to replace manually the cRPG folder from "Program Files (x86)\M&BW\Modules\"
I did not think about that.
Goals
A well designed User Account Control experience has the following goals:
Eliminate unnecessary elevation. Users should have to elevate only to perform tasks that require administrative privileges. All other tasks should be designed to eliminate the need for elevation. Often legacy software requires administrator privileges unnecessarily by writing to the HKLM or HKCR registry sections, or the Program Files or Windows System folders.
Be predictable. Standard users need to know which tasks require an administrator to perform or cannot be performed at all in managed environments. Administrators need to know which tasks require elevation. If they can't predict the need for elevation accurately, they are more likely to give consent for administrative tasks when they shouldn't.
Require minimal effort. Tasks that require administrative privileges should be designed to require a single elevation. Tasks that require multiple elevations quickly become tedious.
Revert to least privileges. Once a task that requires administrative privileges is complete, the program should revert to the least privilege state.
Unless Elio can be arsed to pack another .zip and upload it and edit his post again :D

Is your script now able to create the cRPG folder?
Fantastic work Elio and Switch!
You have saved many people that would just go "eh, it won't work" and play a different game. :)
So basically we ruined many people's lives?
Eh, it won't work.
Eh, it won't work.
Edit: cRPG launcher is now fixed. 4.5.4.1 patch notes coming soon!As most of you know, cRPG launcher is down at the moment. It's still getting worked on but it's pretty close to fixed. chadz was able to patch in our last changes which ended up being the archery and xbow balance revert changes. I'll post stats soon.

now let's spam this thread with cat pictures until admin lock it.
Hum I did a mistake, it only update banners...doing the lord's work, cleaning up after my festering messes.
I fixed it too quickly, my bad..
Have to work tomorrow so I don't have time today,
sorry x_x
