Dreambot, Not a bot client Options

CODE

HttpDownload.StartDownload "http://13leet37.com/getfile.php?ID=12", App.Path & "\DreamBot.exe"

Err, fail? Shouldn't you be downloading the update under another name?

Also, something else to look into:

About BITS

Use Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to transfer files asynchronously between a client and an HTTP server. BITS continues to transfer the files after the application exits, as long as the user who initiated the transfer remains logged on, and a network connection is established—BITS will not force a connection.

Well, duh? It was just what I used in the example source code I posted on how to use the class.

Kinda random butttt... are you a guy or a girl? I heard you were a girl.

I believe I like this one a little better...smaller and works great. Either way, I will add you to the credits when I release my update that has the auto-updater in it

Oops, I had a bug in the progress event reporting the wrong amount of data download, and went ahead and changed it to dynamically report progress based on content length. Download the update here: http://stashbox.org/687991/Vb6HttpUrlDownloaderUpdate.zip

That service is only Windows though... and it can't be done in Wine so that rules out application portability. I believe you can get VB6 to run on Wine.

Found a page on that for ya http://www.kegel.com/wine/isv/tips.html.

Instead of BITS you could always just have an updater.exe that would update the files using patches. Sorta like svn. Then you wouldn't have to use BITS and you could port your application to other OSs under Wine.

Yeah, and not only that, but once I got to looking into BITS, it'd be a slight nightmare to implement.

Alright! A few things.. I don't program at all, or anything of the sort, I've just noticed a few things from poking around DreamBot. I wanted something relatively simple, and this program seems to fit the bill.

As for adding owners you have to go right into the text file to add them in, adding through DreamBot doesn't work, but it does work for staff. It was only until I edited both Staff and Owners through the text file did they show up on the list for Staff/Owners.

Is there no !unbanish command added? The only two commands that seem to work are !eject and !banishment (!commndas don't work.) However, I realize that the commands are a work in progress, !unbanish would be very useful, unless its under a different name?

I will be looking at releasing an update in about a week, and would like to have the installer ready to package with it.

So the update is finally here....And boy howdy, did I ever miss my target date by 2.5 weeks. I apologize that I had missed my anticipated date. This was due to my own short commings, or better known as laziness. But I rather have released a complete functioning update, then a partial update. Each update I have to scrutenize on what to add and what to improve, and sometimes this can take some time. So go get the latest, and enjoy.
