New Updater.
« on: February 10, 2012, 03:34:12 PM »
Hello all, I've been working on a new method that will be used in our auto updater and a tool to download skins and terrains outside the game.

Please download this file to your Aces High folder, and run it. If you wish to test speed delete a few skins and use it to down load them.

http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/ahdown.exe

The same transfer system will later be used in the normal AH auto updater.


Thanks
HiTech

I downloaded it, opened it, a notification comes up saying "Could not start application." I click OK, but the Aces High File Downloader runs fine (or at least I think it does). There's a checkbox for the skin folder, I click it, and click download. It seems to download a P51D file (it downloads to fast for me to read all), then nothing happens.

I turned it off and turned it on again, same thing. Message pops up, click OK, click folder, click download, P51D file downloads again.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

What the?  It's a facebook app?  It says I need facebook to run it.. oh great now it's trying to install something called STEAM????
I don't know if I signed up for all of thi... oh GREAT THANKS A LOT Now I'm caught up in a pornado!

 :O

Nah just kidding.. works great!  "All Ready" looks kind of funny... in my opinion "Already" looks better but that's nitpicking.  I LOVE all the FILE menu options!

Also double click gives you access to individual planes and then skins.

There is a possibility you downloaded just as we were Code Signing it. Could you download it again and test again?

 :aok The "Could not start application" message disappeared. I click the checkbox next to skins, click download, downloads a P51D file. And that seems to be it.

I deleted a bunch of 109 skins. Started the downloader, selected the skins I had removed and it replaced them all no problem. Worked great on my end.

Would you also try rename your current skins folder, then make a blank new one and run the test again.

Also be sure you are running it in the Aces High Folder. IF not it may simply be failing on the move to skins folder step of the download.

If you check the box by the skins it should down load all of them with one click.
