How to use rapid? [esp. make-sdd]

[smoth]

So, I have uploaded 2 versions of a gundam prerelease both use the prerelease tag

I have a batch for the command:

cd rapid
rapid.exe make-sdd gundam:prerelease gundamPre.sdd

(yes I keep rapid in a sub directory)

Anyway, I have 2 issues.
1: the thing puts the sdd in the /mods/ directory.
2: it tells me gundamPre.sdd already exists and cannot be created.

How do I get rapid to download to /games/ and how do I get rapid to update the game file when I already have a version downloaded?

Unfortunately, both aren't possible right now without modifying the source code.

Good points though, I've added them to the issue tracker (though I don't know yet when I'll take some time to go through the issues...)

Here absolute paths work fine, solves 1. (or is that Linux only?)

[smoth]

is the reason my prerelease tagged version won't update because update ONLY works with latest?

Call rapid.exe w/o any arguments, it tells you how to pin & upgrade `tags`.

Why are you having it make an sdd?

[zwzsg]

cd rapid
rapid.exe ...

When I do that it lacks tons of files and libs, so I have to do: rapid/rapid.exe ....

because I think the package format is fucking stupid. I like people being able to readily stea.. grab gundam's source code.

why are you doing that? I don't think having rapid in a subdirectory is normal..

[Forboding Angel]

because spring install puts rapid in the subdir rapid.

All rapid commands should be:

rapid\rapid.exe <args>


The package format is excellent. You just aren't using it correctly.

If you want people to be able to get at the source, that's easy.

Code: Select all

TITLE Gundam Sauce Extractor
IF EXIST %CD%\games\gundamsauce.sdd (
rapid\rapid.exe clean-upgrade -y
cls
echo The source has already been unpacked. Deleting and rebuilding, please wait:
del /Q "%CD%\games\gundamsauce.sdd\*.*"
cls
rapid\rapid.exe make-sdd gundam:prerelease gundamsauce.sdd
cls
echo The sauce is ready for you to use!
pause
) else (
echo Building source, please wait:
rapid\rapid.exe make-sdd gundam:prerelease gundamsauce.sdd
cls
echo The sauce is ready for you to use!
)

^^ that should do what you need. Putting it in a menu would be pretty easy. Might wanna check that delete path command though. It might not be valid to delete it remotely (in other words the command line might need to be in that directory to delete it, in which case, that's a simple fix).
