EasySVN - 1 Click SVN updating for addons | No installations needed! - Garry's Mod

old

I love you zero <3

Screenshots maybe? Basically the only missing thing though. Hopefully this will help more tards who can't even read the tutorial in the main discussion page.

Looking good, this just might get me back into gmod.

Except it appears to have crashed the tab of chrome. Needs the ability to tell it where gmod is installed to.

Very nice!

Looks pretty good, hopefully it doesn't have the same problem as the GMAN installer did with SVN where it would randomly check out to wherever it felt like, maybe you should combine forces or some shit?

[QUOTE=Dave_Parker;13855728]If you're downloading a huge addon (PHX, SBMP or something like that) just let it download, the applet will freeze until your download is complete.[/QUOTE] Yep. I'll add asychronous updating with a cancel button in a future update. [QUOTE=Ecarus;13856065]Except it appears to have crashed the tab of chrome. Needs the ability to tell it where gmod is installed to.[/QUOTE] 1. Not sure about Chrome - it's still in beta, isn't it? :/ Though if it just [B]appears[/B] to have frozen then refer to Dave_Parker's post that I quoted above. I tested it with Firefox 3 on Windows Vista (with UAC) and everything worked fine. 2. It currently uses a simple type of auto detection. It goes through the most common main drive letters (C, D, etc), sees if the Program Files directory exists, then it asks for your steam account name to navigate to the default gmod installation directory. I'll add a feature for custom input in a future update. ;)

Where does it download the addons into?

[QUOTE=L337N008;13870433]Where does it download the addons into?[/QUOTE] MAINDRIVE:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT NAME\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons

[QUOTE=ZeroFreeze_;13870532]MAINDRIVE:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT NAME\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons[/QUOTE] In that case I can't use this either, reason why - my Steam is registered on my brother's HDD but installed on my HDD. As in: F(Brother's): Steam Files registered there. I(Mine): Installed here. HDD's are separate. :/ [b]EDIT[/b]: Lol just found addons installed on C:. [b]EDIT 2[/b]: You should really add ULX to your Easy SVN :3.

L337, what the hell is up with your installs man, they're everywhere :).

What about systems using "Programs" or program_files in another variation depending on language and other stuff? Will it still detect it?

You should add a function to export the svn to a folder of your own chosing. Auto detection is great, but it won't function for a lot of people. And many people will want more precise control over their installations. I host an srcds server, so if you'd add this option I'd be able to use it to install and keep my server up to date. Great stuff so far, but for me this won't work, because of the auto-detection.

[QUOTE=kp3;13884780]What about systems using "Programs" or program_files in another variation depending on language and other stuff?

*ahem*. %PROGRAMFILES%\Steam\steamapps... etc. Environment variables ftw

hey, this is a great idea, but for some reason it wont load on my computer, java just decides to stop =/

Works pretty well, was looking for an alternative to glua while it was down, but I don't have steam installed in program files, so perhaps a way to manually configure the directory would be a good idea.

Also, this program needs a theme song... Hmm, how about [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJVUm_eaVeI]This[/url]?

[QUOTE=mr_fj;13913165]This. Hmm, how about [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJVUm_eaVeI]This[/url]?[/QUOTE] Dang it.

can we download this and host it on a personal web server like for a clan?

[QUOTE=Dave_Parker;13944328]I think it got obfuscated for a reason...[/QUOTE] I just want to be able to give my clan mates an easy way to update there G-mod, I hope they make it public

I've been really busy lately; I didn't have much time left for EasySVN and thus the update might have to wait a while. All that's left to do is finish asynchronous updating. The update will include most of your suggestions: - Advanced Settings dialog with a custom GMod installation dir configuration feature - New first-time-user-setup dialog with two options: auto-detection or manual selection - Some minor aesthetic and bug fixes - Use of environmental variables for auto-detection. [QUOTE=laoding85;13945060]I just want to be able to give my clan mates an easy way to update there G-mod, I hope they make it public[/QUOTE] Just tell them to visit the EasySVN page :p I'm going to keep it as an applet at [url]http://easysvn.zetorium.com[/url] forever because of its easy accessibility and online-feature. [QUOTE=Ori Child;13907826]hey, this is a great idea, but for some reason it wont load on my computer, java just decides to stop =/[/QUOTE] It might take a while to load. If it still doesn't do anything or it permanently freezes then try updating java. I use Firefox 3.0.6 on Windows Vista with the latest java runtime environment installed and it works.

It is a shame this is running from Java really, I know it's flexible and all that crap, but it is one of the slowest loaders I have ever seen, any java apps take ages to load and respond...Still good work, might stop people suing GLua (god I hate that site, why download the entire mod again when only two files are updated...)

Some site that uploads dumps of SVN addons, lets you download them at their most recent version, but you need to get the whole addon every time it updates, which is annoying.

Sounds ok but i'll just use normal svn.

ZeroFreeze triumps AGAIN! :D This is epic! SVN for mortals! +rep

Isnt this basicly Gmod Auto Updater but in-browser?

[QUOTE=hexpunK;13955955]It is a shame this is running from Java really, I know it's flexible and all that crap, but it is one of the slowest loaders I have ever seen, any java apps take ages to load and respond...[/QUOTE] No, that's not true. EasySVN might take a while to load because it connects to my web server to retrieve the default SVN lists, but usually Java applet and programs are almost as quick and responsive as native applications. (Obviously well-programmed native apps will always be faster) Lua is interpreted too, so one could accuse Lua of being slow and unresponsive. (By the way, Java is compiled into byte code & Java generally is much more powerful with a large API, whereas Lua code is directly interpreted. There's a difference, obviously. Java is a programming language; Lua is a scripting language. ;p) Oh and it also depends on the programming techniques used. I for example did not use threading in the downloading process, which is why it appears to freeze in the current version. (Next update contains asynchronous updating) If Java would be as slow and unresponsive as a lot of people accuse the language of being so, then why would e.g. [url=http://runescape.com]RuneScape[/url] even have a chance? [QUOTE=DigitalySane;13958072]Sounds ok but i'll just use normal svn.[/QUOTE] Not forcing anyone to use it xD By the way, it does use SVN updating, i.e. updating Wiremod with EasySVN would do the same as using TortoiseSVN. [QUOTE=Eltro102;13958530]Isnt this basicly Gmod Auto Updater but in-browser?[/QUOTE] I don't know. When I programmed EasySVN I wasn't aware that other, similar programs for GMod existed. Edit: -> Do they even make use of the SVN protocol or do they just re-download all files? You could see EasySVN as a simplified, online TortoiseSVN made specifically for updating Garry's Mod addons.
