Ok, I changed to this:

PHP Code:


			
AutoUpdate_AddPlugin("showhealth.googlecode.com", "/files/version.xml", PLUGIN_VERSION);

Now it connects but can't find a file or something like that:

Code:

sm_autoupdate_check
L 05/08/2009 - 23:07:19: [SM] Native "WritePackString" reported: Invalid data pack handle 0 (error 4)
L 05/08/2009 - 23:07:19: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "autoupdate.smx":
L 05/08/2009 - 23:07:19: [SM]   [0]  Line 110, C:\SPComp\autoupdate.sp::OnSocketReceive()
L 05/08/2009 - 23:07:20: <FAILED> showhealth.smx: showhealth.googlecode.com/files/version.xml (couldn't find anything)

Updated to 1.1 which fixes the datapack error (along with a few others) but I can't get it work for anything other than 127.0.0.1.

Step by step it works better and better.

Now I can download files but...

Code:

sm_autoupdate_download
L 05/09/2009 - 00:27:10: <UPDATING> showhealth.smx to version 1.0.1 - Changes:
* 1.0.1
Minor code changes for better performance
Added config file
* 1.0.0
Initial Release

L 05/09/2009 - 00:27:10: Couldn't find gamedata.
L 05/09/2009 - 00:27:10: Downloaded addons\sourcemod\plugins\showhealth.smx
L 05/09/2009 - 00:27:10: Downloaded addons\sourcemod\scripting\showhealth.sp

After this I can't load/reload my plugin and I think know why. Here is a downloaded showhealth.sp file:

PHP Code:


			
<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

<TITLE>302 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>

<H1>302 Moved</H1>

The document has moved

<A HREF="http://www.google.ru/">here</A>.

</BODY></HTML>

And it seems that .smx has the same code inside.

Would be 10x more useful if we could host our plugins to be auto-updated from the AlliedModders site.

Fast suggestions:

* Add support for updating extensions. Delay overwriting the extension until the server is restarted? Notify the user to restart server when a new extension is downloaded.
* Add some kind of checksum support, something simple like MD5. Don't want to download a file that's corrupt and have it overwrite our stuff, now do we?

Very sweet btw, I wanted to do this feature myself for my plugin to make distribution simpler, but though that such a feature should be applicable across all plugins. Unfortunately I did not realize that plugins can call code from other plugins via CreateNative.

What a nice breakthrough!

Maybe.

Why didn't I think of this

Downtown1 · 05-08-2009 , 22:40 Re: Plugin Autoupdater

I release updates that often add significant functionality updates (especially when its major bug fixes) to my plugins, so having a way to deploy it faster will be invaluable. Unfortunately I've also recently started to require an extension (that I also develop), so having a way to automatically update that would be prime.

BTW, MikeJS do you hang out on #sourcemod ?

That's not possible since this plugin provides a set functions to other plugins and afaik an extension can't use natives that are provided by a plugin... The only solution i see if you want extensions support is if this was written as an extension and then writing an interface for these functions so other extensions could you use it and at the same time plugins by just creating interface wrappers.

You could release the extension with a plugin that updates the extension

MikeJS, did you find a problem that I wrote above? Or it is google code issue? I didn't find any other good file/code hostings so I hope you will change plugin to work with google code.
Also it is strnage that version.xml downloads without any problems but other files has this strange html code.

MikeJS · 05-09-2009 , 06:49 Re: Plugin Autoupdater

Try using:

Code:

<binary>\files\showhealth.smx</binary>
<source>\files\showhealth.sp</source>
<gamedata>\files\empty.txt</gamedata>
