Phoenix Platform - Nexuiz Realse?

[KadaverJack]

Still, I know how .pk3 works, I just dont know how is it updated...

It's just copied to Nexuiz/data. Nexuiz loads all PK3s in there in alphabetical order, if a filename occurs in more than one PK3, the one that was loaded last will be used.

oh.... only that? so yes its is very simple to integrate nexuiz in the client.... I just need green light from the producers and some info, nothing more...

Let me guess - you found out that it's Freehostia from the MySQL error message when trying to enter the forum?

Well, if youre releases are in .zip, it will be kind of complicated... We can host the files on our server, but it hasnt a very good speed, as for updating, the client downloads only the files that have been updated, and overwrite the old ones,

Well, our nexuizpatch zip files basically contain all you need to patch the installation to the next version:

• complete new engine binaries (these change all the time)
• datapatch...pk3 (this is basically an automatic generated difference pk3 between old and new data...pk3 and just needs to be put in the download folder)
• new copy of Documentation (small, but does not necessarily change, that's there for sake of completeness)
• current engine and game sources as zip files (also change all the time); the DLLs are also included even if they did not change (there is no way around that on Mac, and on Windows it is a small waste that should get fixed in the next release)

And if you do want to extract single files out of a zip, that should be possible with three HTTP requests. The first one would be a HEAD to find the size of the zip file, the second one would download some part from the end of the file that is likely to contain the full central directory, and the third one would download the actual compressed data. Note that HTTP requests can download just part of a file if a Range: header is sent. In case of our nexuiz...zip releases, the central directory is always in the last 24k of the file and I doubt that's getting exceeded so soon.

We do have proper hosting, currently used for some client files. We are gonna get a domain sorted but are wating for new site design to go ahead. Also i think what ever archive type the file is in aint a prblem i think i have a way to work it out, also will do some changes so we can define the documentation path in the .dnf.

Thanks.

kk, At the moment we will host those files extracted on our server, we may use .zip but that is very very unlikely, at least for now. Im going to upload everything to the server now.
