Woops! havn't really paying good enough attention to the SiisiLauncher lately. The data packages it required where not uploaded to our file servers, thats the error that pops up if that's the case.
The tool should now behave. |

Yeah, confirming the Sisi launcher is behaving well tonight. Nice lil' piece of software, that's exactly what the playerbase was crying for to streamline the mass test process. I assume it's gonna go through graphics-savy CCP'ers before final release, so I won't make any remark about the UI (it's functional right now, and that's what matters for a beta).
If you have time enough to push this thing as far as being a real debugger tool for player to use and help you guys doing great work, may I suggest three little additions ? - A button to launch the logserver - A link to the EVE-wiki page explaining wtf is that logserver and why we should run it on every mass test - A button to send logs to CCP (that one would be tricky, but totally awesome).
Of course, this is much a fantasy than a real plan, but who knows. We're finally getting Incarna one day or another, why not dream about a complete debugging platform for player ?
Anyway, good work CCP'ers, keep it coming. |

OK I’m well confused now, I just downloaded the SiSi Launcher tool and run the program.
Now from what I read it *should* copy my TQ folder to a new location and then autopatch the copied files to make a SiSi client, correct?
I’m running Windows 7 64bit OS fully patched and up to date (new install). I have my TQ folder on my D: drive (D:\Eve-online\EVE\) and I wanted to also put my new SiSi folders there (but in a new folder) as well.
So I ran the program, clicked the [Browse] button and used the ‘Browse For Folder’ window to locate my D: drive. I used the [Make New Folder] button to make a new folder called EvE-onsisi (D:\EvE-onsisi), clicked the [OK] button to accept the new folder location and received the following error;
‘Could not find eve.exe in the folder “D:\EvE-onsisi”, please confirm that you wish to run the repair inside this directory. [OK] [Cancel]
The program made no attempt to copy my TQ folder or files, if I clicked the [OK] button the autopatcher runs and tries to download the full install files (around 3 Gig).
Any idea why?

Actually i have an idea why, it's a bug you found there :) should be easy enough to fix that. The reason for this is that the current logic in the sisi launcher says that if the Sisi folder exists then do not copy the TQ client, instead try to patch the existing folder. it should be doing more checking really than just seeing if the folder exist. But in short, try not creating a new folder, instead type the folder path into the text box and click the play button, it should then copy the client over. |

That's another bug that needs fixing. For a temporary solution you will have to delete three files on your computer, those are called CCP_checksum_cache.bak, .dir and .dat and they are located in your temp directory. You can browse to your temp directory by simply typing %temp% into the address bar of an explorer window or hold down the windows button on your keyboard, press R and type in %temp% and press OK. so to be clear, the files you need to delete are: %temp%\CCP_checksum_cache.bak %temp%\CCP_checksum_cache.dir %temp%\CCP_checksum_cache.dat |

@CCP Mandrake,
OK tried your suggestion and it sort of worked; Firstly deleting the folder from my D: drive (D:\EvE-onsis) and then running the program it *remembered* the folder I made in my message above. However undaunted I accepted the folder as displayed and let the program proceed.
This allowed me to browse to my TQ folder and I browsed to D:\Eve-online, this resulted in the same error as above.
Re-running the program yet again and browsing to D:\Eve-online\EVE eventually resulted in the correct ‘copy, repair, update’ etc as it should \o/.
Conclusion; Works as advertised but requires more work on the ‘User Interface’.

This worked exactly as stated for me, thanks for the help. Perhaps i had differing results than the person above because i used the default path? P.S. If you dont mind me asking, what causes this bug... feel free to get technical if you must, but if your able to present it more simply that'd be nice. |

Edited by: CCP Mandrake on 23/09/2010 16:26:03New version, 1.08
- Hopefully fixed the copy issue Irumani was having.
- The EOFError that has been popping up should no longer be an issue
- Only one SisiLauncher.exe can be run at a time
- Update self mechanism improvements
Next time you run the SisiLauncher it should update itself, if that doesn't work out then you can get the new version from here. Originally by: Eagle Tarquinas P.S. If you dont mind me asking, what causes this bug... feel free to get technical if you must, but if your able to present it more simply that'd be nice.
The reason for the EOFError was that one of the checksum cache files somehow got corrupt. Among a multitude of other things, this might have been caused by other apps like the repair tool or another SisiLauncher being run at the same time. This should not be a problem anymore since only one instance of the sisi launcher can be running at any given time, also i change the the name of the checksum cache files the SisiLauncher uses so if the repair tool is run seperately it will not tamper with the SisiLauncher cache :) edit: Oh, i almost forgot, if this error pops up anyway, then the checksum cache files will be emptied instead of that error being thrown. So in effect, this bug has been thoroughly squashed. |

it seems my windows username contains non-ascii characters such as "ç", and despite placing the tool on the root of my drive c:\, the unusual character on my username was responsible for the error. I created a new user named "normal ascii chars" and the sisi launcher seems to be working flawlessly now. |

Nice piece of kit! If you guys are going to carry on with this tool (which seems to work great now) can you a post a sticky with the links to get the tool higher up the forum?
I think more than a few people (including me) have had issues getting on using the "normal" patching method and the tool worked. Knowing where to find it would be invaluable. |

Jup, having different colored icons for normal/test server instalations will help. No longer running test server if want normal and vice versa. |

Wowser, very nice service tool.
Just one request, give me the ability to throttle it, with clear pipes my connection maxes out preventing all other uses until it finishes :D |

Thing unable to update itself. It launches, telling that there's update, downloading it but failing to rename, thus restarting itself, and falling into infinite loop. Same applies to live repair tool. |

here is my feedback and what i did:
i had made a fresh copy of the actual tq eve client (build 177290) about 2 days ago, started it and downloaded and applied the patch via the eve client (not using sisilauncher, doing it the traditional way). it worked by then (meaning i could connect), build was 181725. today it stated incompatible release, but did not offer a patch download (as so often in the past).
i checked with http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php like i do always. both patches i would need to go from 181725 to 184282 and than to the current 185489 had broken links. than i tried to find out what the branch EVE-DEMO could mean, and found out about sisilauncher in the forum. tried it on the copy i already had, it just started it, same as before incompatible release, no patch download offered.
then tried "fix singularity client", but while checking checksums all went through, it did not update anything (while the window states that it is updating the client ^^) - well the copy was sane before, no need to repair anyway. since there was no extra "update client" option i had assumed "fix singularity client" will do maybe both, check files and update.
So go on, created a new directory, selected it for sisilauncher and started, sisilauncher copied from tq client, and after that an update was going on, but from what i saw it is just the 181725 again (Downloading data from "http://content.eveonline.com/test/RepairData_181725.dat"). and yes, it was build 181725 again when i started the client. so i guess, most likely sislauncher does not know better and believes 181725 is current, because that is was the update-server keeps telling him.
so i finally end up with downloading the patch from 177290 to 185489 from http://content.eveonline.com/test/evepremiumpatch177290-185489_test_m.exe .
but first, just to check out, i made again a fresh copy of the tq client, started it, and it offered me a patch. accepted, started, and the window states it was the patch to 181725 (again), while current sisi is 185489.
so, i blame the update-server, abort the process and prep to do it all manually.
i still have a fresh copy from tq, so patching now goes on with the patchfile to 185489 downloaded earlier. update done, starting the client after patch, and - i knew already from the server-status website mentioned earlier - its not accepting connections. maybe it is never meant to do that, and maybe i have to do all the stuff from scratch again with the next patch to sisi. i just dont know because it is hard to find any info, ie.patch notes page does not show sisi-builds and i did not find any good resources yet, including this forum. getting the connection info for sisi is easy, but from that you do not know if it will accept connections a bit later. and "This is the Singularity test cluster. Please help us out and report bugs you find at http://bugs.eveonline.com" does not help with that either.
maybe you could add a function to sisilauncher that shows details about the different builds like the patch notes page does but including dev builds and add info in the patch notes that give details about if this is a "public playable" release or not. or even better, show it in the eve-client via the server-message or whatever, like additionally an "internal testing only, no public testing until <date-time>". would be a great help. just in a way that people know without additional tools or work, its not worth the effort to update yet. sisilauncher and eve-client may have been correct in patching not to current and i should never had downloaded that patch manually - i have no clue.
thanks for your tim |
