ACR Updater[CLI]

[Playfrog4u]

Thank y'all! And I am working on the cross platform version. And soon to come iOS!! Just a idea, but I have school and I work at it in my free time! I love this project and community! It's you guys that make me smile and continue to code!

Here is a basic design suggestion. Feel free to comment. Should be opened inside QtCreator or QtDesigner, both aviable for Win and *NIX.

What feature requests would people like to make for an updater/mod manager?

The launcher should keep simple and light, but funny and not boring.

Maybe some music, background images or visual effects would work while keeping it simple.

@jonaspm , I don't think music should be added to the launcher, as it is a temporary step before ACR starts.

[jonaspm]

Well, you are right @Victor , maybe music is too much haha

For the python stuff, I just ran into this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cx-freeze

@rXn, an alternative is to include the python library/executables and a script to run the program in the package.

EDIT: that might make the package too large, so some py to exe compiler might be better.

I have just fixed a bug preventing me from launching my native_client, this version now copies the original client.sh, but replaces the neccessary lines. I know there is a better way (Format or however), but as I am doing python for, let's see, 1h now, it does the trick

I am currently porting the python version to C++/Qt, but I think I'll have to fight with the network functions for a while

Everything but the network-related stuff is done and works fine. The code is a bit longer than the python stuff as C++ is a bit more complicated in some points.

Edit: As I seem to be too stupid to figure out Event management without GUI it will have a GUI, but I try to keep @ruler501 's logic code.
