ca downloader

[Lefty]

Hi !
I and my friend had tried the CA Downloader (http://spring.jobjol.nl/show_file.php?id=945)... but we have problems with sync errors now and the md5sums of the mods are different. I managed to unpack the file and compare the individual files and lots of them are different too
Thanks for replies :)

Be more specific?

[Lefty]

well .. we have different versions of CA and the game gets desynced ... it seems there is a bug in downloader
md5sums:
64789c3eb03c22e4753ffeab389b57f9 ca-r2275.sdz

one of them might have not downloaded all of the files... the downloader I originally wrote doesn't have any problems for me

[aegis]

since the files are aggregated by hash, it is definitely grabbing the correct files
I might add a redundant crc hash to make sure the file wasn't corrupt

[Lefty]

hah ! i have sorted the sums and diffed again - its correct ! only the archiver made the difference ! but i am a bit confused now - why it doesn't work

[aegis]

is one of you missing the OTA content?

[Lefty]

well... BA runs great .. so i don't think this is the reason

[clericvash]

One of you send the other your one and use that?

The Python downloader for CA will generate a file with a different md5 hash everytime it runs. This is because of timestamps in the zip. Spring doesn't care though, it uses a special CRC that compares the contents of the zip. Are you sure one of you isn't missing OTA content? Can you both play BA?

so i have tried to diff contents of package on springfiles2 and mine ... and they are identical ! i am a bit confused about that .. i will try to play against other people on other maps and report the results ...
