oh, sorry for not specifying what I was talking about it was about the new ConfigGenerator

Yeah, here is the bugreport

[Aeomin]

Yes, it is meant to separate config data from patcher to avoid antivrus false alarm, which means config file, languages, and all the images will also packed into this new file.

However, there is no version of patcher supports it yet.

Yeah, here is the bugreport

divide by zero? Haven't seen one of those for a long time....

It seems the crash occurred in system library.. Did anyone else using windows XP having this problem?

Do you know how can I fix that?

[Aeomin]

If no one else who are using XP having this problem, I'm afraid it's out of my reach...

Send me your patcher though, I will take a test on it.

[onizame]

@Aeomin

any news for us about the development of the update regarding the new config generator?

[JulioCF]

Version: Thor_Patcher[2.6.1.66].7z 2.6.1.66 (Pre)

[Chok Designer]

what is the best patcher?

[Aeomin]

Sorry guys, I have been busy with my other project lately.

As for the crash, I'd love to see bugreport.txt as it is probably the quickest way to spot known issues.

Hope you can finish it soon! also for the crash it is impossible now since it stopped to happen LOL o.O

Hi, is it able to make transparent thor patcher designs or only the Squared ones? Cause what I basicly see, is thor patcher using only bmp for the main interface... maybe I an wrong?

Used white, worked fine Thanks anyway

[Dextrius]

Self-update doesn't work. What should i do?

[Aries]

I'll just follow up about the progress bar problem.

JPG=crash

PNG=crash

BMP=no crash but progress bar doesn't show up

Using 2.5.4.18

Hey there,

You'll have to forgive me if this was asked in the past already. I've been looking around a bit for similar issues but could not find a precise topic about this.

We are currently using 2.0.1.13 which works flawlessly most of the time. However, if someone is using say...a Japanese or Korean locale, it corrupts the GRF when patching -anything- in. If they switch to English it works just fine.

I noticed at the update history, it said this:

{V2.1.3.9 - Epsilon [uPDATE TO THIS IMMEDIATELY]}

[2009-06-20] Aeomin - Fixed a serious bug that can render GRF corruption.

However, this is the 2.1 branch that was a complete rewrite of the patcher? So I'm not sure if this fixed bug is related to this issue at all or whether it's an issue that came up because of the rewrite of the patcher.

Obviously we rather not patch in a new client if we aren't 100% sure that it fixes the issue as it currently works fine most of the time. So if anyone could shed some light on this situation, it's greatly appreciated

Progress bar setting = config.ini, please configure it properly if using custom skin.

[Aries]

[ProgressBar:bar1]
Width=418
Height=23

Left=171
Top=466

BackColorStart=$009DEEEF
BackColorEnd=$00C2F1F1

FrontColorStart=$006ED5B0
FrontColorEnd=$0080DDCA

FrontImage='images/front_progress.png'
BackImage='images/back_progress.png'

Hook='ProgressChange'

well I think my configuration is correct.

Are you using custom skins? or the default one?

[Aries]

default

Sorry guys, I still don't have much time due to university...I will try answer some questions from memory recall.

When use BMP, patcher pick the color from the very top-left corner pixel as transparent color.

Have you tried latest version(s)? 2.5 is a mess...

WOOOOOAH... 2.0? That's legacy...

Yes 2.1 is a rewrite, then there is a semi rewrite in 2.5 (not recommended).

I would suggest try some versions of 2.6. The difference though is mainly configuration.

The patcher should able to upgrade status file format and should able to pick up legacy .thor formats. The disaster of 2.5 is that upgrade 2.5-> 2.6 is not possible (without a hell of time waste from me).

As always, backup if you ever want to try upgrade..

I know as free time reduces, my code quality tend to reduce.. sorry about that..
