Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Graion Dilach - 07.11.2010
Well, I have some problems with this.
I can only use the stable version because Launch Base can't see any other branches.
Also if I update Ares manually by copying the files into the Resources folder and starts my mod, LB deletes the files then asks for Ares (because I disallowed it to download the 0.1.710 version).
Actually it was interesting that without Verbose logging even the automated download doesn't worked.
If there is a newer LB version, well my version doesn't know about that.
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Marshall - 11.11.2010
If you are a registered Ares tester then you should have been given instructions on how to enable access to the other Ares branches - information can be found in the Ares developer forum.
Launch Base does not allow Ares' files to be changed manually.
I'm not sure what you mean by "without Verbose logging even the automated download doesn't worked". The logging should not have any impact on the operation of Launch Base. Can you replicate the problem (i.e. turn off Verbose logging and see if the problem returns)? I suspect you have changed another setting somewhere.
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Graion Dilach - 11.11.2010
Aaah, this is the problem. Now I understand. Bugreport is the following, then:
Without beta privileges, LaunchBase cannot offer or download a version of Syringe. It detects and offers Ares 0.1 stable, but without Syringe.
And when it starts a mod which requires Ares, it realizes the missing Syringe but gives an error, since it cannot update Syringe thereby can't run Ares.
Syringe v12 should be available without beta privileges, IMO.
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Marshall - 11.11.2010
Whoa, how did that go unnoticed...
Anyways, fixed now.
Version 0.99.261 released.
Many thanks Graion!
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Graion Dilach - 12.11.2010
That could be fixed, but this didn't fixed my problems.
I reinstalled LaunchBase and started everything again. After I checked Advanced Mode, I did a Syringe-Ares update and I got constantly Ares update failure. I tried putting 0.1 P1 into the Resources folder manually, but I got verification failures. Then somehow I ended up with revision 666 binary.
The LaunchBase update screen shows that the stable is version 710 (Ares 0.1 P1, isn't it?), although I think the checksums the validation uses are still the 666 versions' one. I think this, because ares.mix passes the verifying, and in the SVN, it's revision is 544, while both the dll and inj has revision number 710.

* DCoder has nothing useful to add, but likes the revision from hell.
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Marshall - 12.11.2010
Don't edit the Resource folder manually - Launch Base won't like it.
I've released version 0.99.262 - but you'll need to delete any left-over subfolders inside the Resource folder first!

RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Marshall - 13.11.2010
Hmm... I can't replicate that.
Can you delete ares.* from your Resource folder as well as any subfolders and try again?
If that doesn't work, then can you replicate with a clean installation of Launch Base?
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Graion Dilach - 14.11.2010
Hmmm... after reinstalling LB, it works. Although I had to run the Ares Update twice because it didn't wanted to download Syringe first...
I don't know the problem, currently it's fixed. Thanks.
Forget it!

RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Marshall - 14.11.2010
Okay, Launch Base is downloading the correct archive, but the archive does not contain the latest version of the DLL.
This is one for Renegade methinks!
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Graion Dilach - 14.11.2010
OK, I did a workaround by forcing Launch Base that I use a custom Ares dll. (Syringe subfolder in the mod).
And it works... but not flawlessly.

RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Renegade - 14.11.2010
DLL version should be fixed. Probably a timing issue with the last update. I'm more concerned about the fact that no one reported this before.
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Graion Dilach - 15.11.2010
Maybe nobody else uses LaunchBase with stable Ares.
But the verification thing still applies. When LaunchBase verificates Ares or Syringe if the mod uses it's own version of Ares, it will fails and the selected will be redownloaded.
Downloading failures are because my internet connection isn't that fast, I realize, so that's not a problem.
RE: Launch Base 0.99.260 vs. Ares - Nighthawk - 15.11.2010
Quote:I'm more concerned about the fact that no one reported this before.I don't use LaunchBase with Ares (at least, not yet), otherwise I'd probably have noticed something. As Graion Dilach says, maybe LaunchBase just isn't widely used with the stable builds yet. If it was affecting the unstable builds, surely some of the testers would have noticed by now.
