Dual version vision - 27 November 2010

3D glasses not required

Goal

Avoid community splitting between 1.0.4 and 1.1

Possible solution

  • Allow 1.1 to be installed along side 1.0.4
  • Have 1.1 servers appear in 1.0.4 server browser and visa versa
    • Selecting a server from the other version does a magical quick launch and connect


Auto updater - 24 March 2010

Get latest version here

Updates are initiated either on client startup, or on when connecting to a server...


Client startup:

  1. The client polls one of two servers, sends its current version and gets update info.
  2. Update info contains:
    1. If there is a new version available
    2. Whether the update is mandatory
    3. Mirror list of servers with the update
    4. Filename and SHA1
  3. If update is selected:
    1. The file is downloaded
    2. SHA1 checked
    3. The updater is executed
    4. The client quits
  4. When the update is complete, the client is relaunched
    1. Also consider having a 'use previous version' shortcut or something, in case the new version does not run correctly


On server connect:

  1. Server tells client minimum version requirement, and ideal version requirement
  2. If client is below minimum requirement, then:
    1. The client is given an 'update' and 'disconnect' button and told they must update to join this server
    2. Pressing the update button initiates the update procedure as per 'Client startup' above.
  3. If client is below ideal requirement, then:
    1. The client is given an 'update' and 'don't update' button and told they should update to join this server
    2. Pressing the update button initiates the update procedure as per 'Client startup' above.



Merge revert party - 13 September 2009

Everyone invited


The commits listed below require moving from the git 'merge' branch into a 'post 1.0.1' branch.

Although one or two should probably be kept in 1.0.1
But which ones ?

Proposed Lua additions - 20 June 2009

Client and server function

setElementFrozen ( element, bool )

To work with vehicles, peds and dynamic objects like barrels and what not.

Server event

onSettingChange ( name, oldValue, newValue )

So the resource can take action if one of its settings get changed. Could even cancel the change I suppose.
