Re: Web updater access to password protected sites

That's a shame cause I find it a really useful feature that I like to use. What you're saying is if I use the updater.UpdateVersion as part of a screen, it will use the "check_interval" to check the availability of the update and if it gets a "true" it will then trigger a kind of...

Re: Web updater access to password protected sites

Hi guys, Although the solution that PyTom gave me works great I still encounter a strange problem. Every time I change the password (change the folder name on my server) or make a fresh build of my game and then try to update it, the first time I enter the password I always get a "Wrong passwor...

Re: Web updater access to password protected sites

You could pass the password in the URL for update.json, and have the server side check it and return the file iff the password matches. Wouldn't that mean I would still need to have that password stored locally (in game)? I want to avoid that completely. The main reason is if I want to change the p...

Re: Web updater access to password protected sites

Oops, forgot about this and now its midnight :oops: The password was stored nowhere, the user input the password, it was sent to the server, where it was encrypted and then it remained that way. If I wanted to see everyone's password, I could not. I couldn't even see my own password as it is not st...

Re: Web updater access to password protected sites

I used to run an IRC boy that was programmed in python. With the bot, users could register by sending a username and password to the server. This password was stored as an encrypted string in a text file. Trying to use the string as the password would fail. I ll try to dig up the relics of the bot ...

Web updater access to password protected sites

I am developing a game and I have successfully implemented the web updater. I want to grant access to different versions of my game to different people...

Web updater error

Hi guys. I've successfully implemented the web updater into my game and the funny thing is it works, but there are some problems. I've noticed that instead of downloading just the changed part of the game the web updater seems to download the entire new version before updating the current one. Now, ...

Re: Old save files in updated game version

***EDIT***

OK, I think I finally understand how the default statement works and how can I use it when updating the game to a newer version. Thank you very much. I'll go test it now.

Re: Old save files in updated game version

I have a couple more questions regarding this topic then I think I've got it figured out. 1. If I add a default variable for a new game version do I add them before or after the label "start"? 2. If I leave all the variables defined with a "default" statement or use "after_l...

Re: Old save files in updated game version

Great, thank you very much for your help.

Only one question, you've sad that "define" is my friend while we were talking about "default" statement.

Re: Old save files in updated game version

So then using "default" statement when adding new variables should prevent the save game bug? What about my old variables? Do I need to put them as default also? Especially those that changes all the time like energy and stats. Thank you @kivik for your suggestion to use dicts. It's not a ...
