Maintenance TerasologyLauncher - official Terasology Launcher

[Skaldarnar]

Okay, I've redone all the work, and the auto-update process should be working now. Please have a look at the PR before merging, testing without having the jenkins build by hand is a bit tricky....

During start up some simple information is shown to the user via the splash screen, indicating the download of the launcher files inclusive.

 

[Cervator]

Tested and comments left. Same for the .exe PR by mkalb - both look good

Skaldarnar - I can set you up with Jenkins access if you would register there and let me know your username, mkalb is already in there.

PullRequest for the changelog is here:

Can you take a look?

Oups

You can change the language in the settings, I just forgot it...

Not working for me.
Hangs on this window:

(The red text is an edit by me, so that everybody can understand what stays there. And yes, it sais the games)
But the problem is, I can't see any other window, where I can select the directory!
I have Mac OS X 10.8.5 with the newest Java 7 (Java 7 Update 45).
Greetings

Hi d3min3r !

The launcher should create a temporary directory, maybe there'll be some sort of logging there?

On Mac look under Library/Application Support/TerasologyLauncher or so

One of the launcher guys might be able to provide better directions

 

[mkalb]

The log file is written to your launcher installation directory.

 

[d3min3r]

The folder in Library/application support is empty.
The Terasology launcher log is not in the launcher directory. I had to search it and i found it at /Users/schueler/ (schueler was my original username).
Here is the log:

Thats all. Even if I let him running for 10 minutes nothing more happens and I'm not behind a proxy and I have a fast internet connection.
Greetings

Edit:
Oh yes, and in my java control panel it tells me that I have Update 45.

Edit 2:
And yes, it has the same behavior with the stable and with the nightly build.

d3min3r thanks for the info. I'm not sure if we've had a lot of opportunity for testing on Mac OS, so maybe there is some situation where something goes wrong. The log file is right at the root of the user home directory? Maybe that relates.

mkalb is your best option, might need to be patient for a few days if you don't mind. In the meantime you can always try directly downloading the latest unstable build (pre-multiplayer, but with more content) or the multiplayer build

 

[mkalb]

I dont't have Mac OS X. And I don't know, why you didn't see the file dialog.
Is it at the background/behind other windows?

 

[mkalb]

Please try it with the new nightly version of the launcher. I changed the logging level.

[d3min3r]

I've deleted the old log (again) and suddenly a window appears.
Can't say why.
Now it seems to work

[mkalb]

That makes me happy.
Please use the stable version of the launcher. The nightly version is not intended for production use.

 

[Skaldarnar]

Alright, we are right on track towards launcher version 2.0.0 - with JavaFX and Web Start support. Of course there are some more goodies under the hood. To get an impression of the current state have a look at branch 2.0 in the GitHub repo.

If you want to jump on the train and help us out with some open issues feel free to get your hands on and send us a pull request. You can find all open issues under Milestone 2.0.0. Main features that still need a bit of attention are handling offline mode for the launcher and dealing with problems during download, e.g. lost internet connection, PC went into hibernate mode, ...

Besides that, I'm updating the wiki pages (using some of the new features introduces lately by GitHub), and for the impatient there is a job in Jenkins for the v2.0.0 previews - only for testing, no guarantees for nothing. I've brought the first post up to date and moved the whole thread to the core projects sub forum (pinned as well).

To match all my badges -- here's a screen shot of the new splash screen with fancy progress bar.
