Direct X Addon

Whatacrock's Photo Whatacrock 10 Mar 2010

Hey Cristiano, Started a new fresh autopatcher directory on my machine and downloaded the new apup 1.31.
Downloaded the XP enu plus java and direct x. When I finished ran autopatcher and noticed that the direct x selection now reads as March 2009 instead of Feb 2010. Is this an error in naming ? The file was 103 Mb in downloading.
I have a log file.

Cheers
Bruce

Indeed, the wrong DirectX script is being used:

Spoiler

When I was with the team I had recommended moving the old scripts to a backup folder in the same directory to prevent this
kind of confusion - DirectX\backup, or at least add the date to the script -> autopatcher_directx_feb2010.script :(

The reason this makes me mad is I just ran APUP on my Addons release and this stupid blunder deleted Feb2010, and began to
download Mar2009. I'm on freakin' dialup and now I have to download another 100+ megs because of this unnecessary mistake,
the date in APUP wont make you aware of the mixup. I only ran APUP to get v1.3 added to my Addons release - jeez feakin' louise!

done. the right script is at our server, but i had to re-do the module, the 104MB from the update and hide it from our corporate firewall. i don't have the rti tool in here, so probably this module will be unofficial until tonight

To try and lend a hand I took the liberty to update the DirectX script, I downloaded the executable from a friends home, everything
is here, and needed -> updated script, .rti (signed Cristiano Portela), and an updated .apm (added Feb2010 to the Title).

Your choice :)

Checked the script and all is good at my end, but APUP (1.3.0.1) did do something strange...

I made sure Updater, Engine, and DirectX were checked - clicked Next - and immediately APUP disappeared, didn't minimize,
closed - no Finish tab, no errors visibly or in the log. There wasn't anything to download I was only checking the script.

I ran APUP again with no problems - go figure :blink:

Update:

I looked at my DirectX folder (the one where the latest had been deleted) and I noticed an old .md5 from a past DirectX
left behind -> md5_checksum_for_DirectX_Aug_2009_Redistr.md5, and that there was no .md5 for Feb2010, I also
forgot to add one so, I updated the script and provided an .md5 for Feb2010.

This is what I did, use the updated script and new .md5 (or not) :)

Info:
Spoiler

If everything seems OK, update the script and add the md5.7z to -> /releases/directx/ with the directx.rti file.

BTW, I provided the same .apm and .rti as before in the directx_files_updated.7z (this time in a folder), the updated
script and new md5.7z are all that need to be uploaded.
