Yes. There has been an upgrade to the base models and textures for all core ships. We are now using CaptSolo's non-shadered textures for Griff's models by default, which is why the size has increased more than threefold.
Do you have a low-bandwidth high-latency internet connection
and it will take a life-time to download the latest nightly?
Are you away from home and your low download quota
keeps you away from that last fix that will let you get even with the six-limb race?
Do you envy the Linux commanders, as they don't have to download the full setup with every nightly release?
If you answered positively to at least one of these questions... keep reading.
Responding to the public's need, the Windows nightly service has been extended
to deliver "upgrade" functionality through
rsync network protocol.
In that way, you can update your Oolite-Trunk installation to the latest nightly release,
getting the differences only.
Since rsync is not delivered with Windows, you can try
cwRsync client.
(To be honest with the community, I have only tested the service with cwRsync.)
Having installed cwRsync, you can execute the following in a command prompt:
For 64bit Oolite-Trunk Windows installations:
Code: Select all
C:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\cwRsync\bin\rsync.exe" -rlvz --progress rsync://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite-trunk-windows_x64/* /cygdrive/c/Oolite-Trunk/.
For 32bit Oolite-Trunk Windows installations:
Code: Select all
C:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\cwRsync\bin\rsync.exe" -rlvz --progress rsync://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite-trunk-windows/* /cygdrive/c/Oolite-Trunk/.
Some hints:
The
c:\Program Files (x86)\cwRsync\bin\rsync.exe and
/cygdrive/c/Oolite-Trunk/. should be changed according
to your installation paths. For example
D:\MyPath\Oolite-Trunk becomes
/cygdrive/d/MyPath/Oolite-Trunk/.
If your Oolite-Trunk path contains spaces, do not use quotes.
I count to your understanding for possible service hickups till we get it polished.
If you are hesitating about your settings, let me know, and I will test it for you.
I am sure that a lot of improvements will follow and your feedback is more than welcome!
EDIT:
Note, that any missing file or any changed file that is part of the Oolite-Trunk original installation,
will be re-downloaded and overwritten!
