cRPG updater - Temporary replacement of cRPG Launcher

[Elio]

Hi guys,

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

Double click the "crpgUpdaterGUI.exe".

In the window that just opened you click the "..."-Button and navigate to your Mount&Blade Warband folder and press OK.
You may also directly paste the path to your Warband folder in the textbox.
Note: Not your cRPG folder, It has to be the Warband main folder.

If you want a shortcut for easier access, check the "Create Shortcut"-checkbox before pressing the Update button. If you check it, the program will automatically create a shortcut to the updater on your desktop.
NOTE: If you already have a shortcut on your desktop, this checkbox will not be visible.

Afterwards you simply press the "Update"-Button. A new window will open, here you press "Yes" and cRPG will start updating.

A message box will notify you once cRPG has been updated.

Once you press "Ok" the window will close automatically.

If you need any kind of help, or some errors occur while using the updater, don't hesitate to bring it up. Thank you

Thanks Switch to these instructions.

  I havent played cRPG in a long while...and go figure when I decide to come back it seems hell has broke loose.
  
  Here's my issue...

  Writing into "Program Files (x86)" & "Program Files" and system' directories in general requires administrative privileges since Windows Vista.
  
  See more informations about this: msdn.microsoft.com: User Account Control
  
  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.
  
  technet.microsoft.com: Start a Command Prompt as an Administrator
  or
  techjourney.net: How to Open Elevated Command Prompt as Administrator
  
  By command line as administrator:
  Just supply the cRPG directory:
  "X:\path\crpg_update.exe" "Y:\MountBlade Warband\Modules\cRPG"
  
  Another solution: updating it manually
  
  With help of GUI, select desktop as Warband path and then choose this folder to update/install cRPG.
  
  Then you have to replace manually the cRPG folder from "Program Files (x86)\M&BW\Modules\"

cRPG update 1.02 + GUI 1.1

• Fixed source reference of  the custom banners
• Thanks to Switchtense there is now a Graphical User Interface available!

Source code: http://pastebin.com/y37TXcR1
NB: I just removed the input urls from c-rpg.net to avoid to make server get spammed.

(click to show/hide)

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 admin 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.

because every program is suspect on internet..

Or simply by making a shortcut:

You're crossing the line.

hack333r!!! ban him!!

[Elio]

Sir, are you a wizard?

Nah, just a nerd.

I wanted to test some libraries and this project was the best way to test it. (hashlib and urllib.request)

And I love cRPG enough to spend some hours for the community.

Sad, really sad to read this shit.

Sad, really sad to read this shit.

Actually it is, when no ranked players have to program their own workaround because of lack of attention to this mod.
