New version of the updater release (1.0.6)

[taco-man]

New version of the updater has been released, never thought this would happen but its just minor things.

-Fixed bug that could cause improperly set up eq2.ini if there was already info in it but not the ui directory info
-Added an option to send command line parameters to eq2 (or whatever your main autolaunch file is). This existed before however the only way to do it previously was by manually adding an new entry in the updaters config file. It is now a text box in the options window.
-Fixed a bug that on very rare occasions caused the updater to not close when it should.

Taco-Man,

usefull should have been spelled useful

and

impropely should have been spelled improperly

Other than that, thank you very much for your continued improvement of this awesome program.

3 cheers for Taco-Man!

You just don't understand, when Taco-Man spells somthing, Dictionaries change to his way if they are not the same

well that and also i am writing it after getting home from work past midnight and then writing the code, and then compiling it and compiling the installer . by then my brain is barely functioning, and certainly not enough to look over what i write

id like to tell that to my english teacher, see what the teacher says, you never know, the teacher could be a eq2 addict if im lucky.

edit: well i fixed the spelling errors, mainly just for the people trying to translate the words to another language to understand it.

What are all the command line options that are available to us for EQ2MAP Updater?

Thanks,

there you go

Command Line Argument Options:
While Most all of these functions can now be performed much easier by the updater through the options menu, some have been left for anyone who still wants to use them.

NOTE: you can do this by using the browse button in the options window, but this was left incase someone wants to "do it the old way" /setautolaunch: use this if you wish to change what file it autolaunches, much more user frienly than before and it can now autolaunch ANY executable.

NOTE: you can do this by using the browse button in the options window, but this was left incase someone wants to "do it the old way" /seteq2dir: use this if you want to change the everquest directory the updater uses, you should not have to use this unless you wish to change it from the one that is set the first time you run the program.

/testserver: this makes the updater update and auto launch from the test server by setting the language to TestServer and then autolaunching the correct eq2 test server file. However a shortcut with this should already be in the eq2map folder of the start menu it is name "EQ2MAP Updater - Update Test Server"

/setupdatefolder: ONLY USE THIS if you dont have eq2 installed on the computer you are updating from, if eq2 is installed on the computer you are updating from use /seteq2dir. The /setupdatefolder lets you choose any folder to update to if you dont have eq2 installed on the computer you are running the updater from.

those are the command line options you can use for the updater, however they have been there a long time, the thing i did in 1.0.6 is make it possible to send command line options to your autolaunch file for the updater (whatever you want to send you just type it in the box thats in the options menu)
