Wednesday, 30 July 2014

RCP 9.2 will be here soon.

Do not worry, I have not forgotten.

New version of RCP Manager is ready and first compatibility packages (RCV's) for 9.2 will roll out tomorrow. (Without making 9.1-9.2 old ones simply won't work).

For following reasons RCV's will be rolled with delays between them, proceeding from most recent (9.1-9.2) to oldest (7.1-7.2).
- saturating net with seeds/webseeds (RCP will be released via torrent and web hostings).
- testing, there is always some to do.
- patching, it always comes after testing.
- minor updates to Manager.
- my bandwidth.
- my time.

RCP release delayed until 9.2 rolls out.

Tittle pretty much sums it up.

Although I could rush RCP 9.1 before 9.2 release, it have little sense.

Instead I will use this time to polish up new RCP manager and correct some bugs in previous releases. As of now full 8.x chain is complete.

I guess I can share some info on new form of upcoming RCP release:

- same awesome cascade RCC system as before, but tuned up a few notches.
- full 7.x and 8.x support will be released in parts. I pretty much have it ready, but preparing such amount of data for release gonna take a while so I'll just share it in parts.
- third generation RCPmanager utility (with drag&drop).
- no more RCPdownloader, instead RCP will be released via torrent boosted by webseed (direct download). At some point I will add update notifier to RCPm utility.
- increasing size - RCP system uses files from original game, which means it gets fatter together with WoT (recently mostly due to graphic changes). However average amount of data RCP requires per versions is still around 1GB.
- RCP manager will not provide support for Windows XP anymore. As of now minimal requirements are same as those of .NET 4.5. If you are still fanatically worshiping obsolete technology you may attempt to use Mono, however have in mind that I will provide no support at all for issues with it.

RCPm Package manager

RCPm Package manager


Why it exists?

It is part of new project: "RCP Tools", which will replace RCP Manager, which was just an experiment. One of parts of RCP Tools will be RCPm v2.0, which will be just combination of all tools.
That way whole project became easier to manage and much more pleasant to create.

What it does?

As name implies, it manages packages, user have direct control only over RCC packages, RCV handling is automated.

Is it complicated?

Nope. It is as simple as I could make it without limiting its capabilities.

Is it dangerous?

Not any more than RCP itself.

RCPm Paths and Bats (re)generator.

RCPm Path and Bats (re)generator


Why it exists?

 It is part of new project: "RCP Tools", which will replace RCP Manager, which was just an experiment. One of parts of RCP Tools will be RCPm v2.0, which will be just combination of all tools.
That way whole project became easier to manage and much more pleasant to create.

What it does?

It (re)creates Paths.xml and launcher .bat files and stores selected paths (in Registry) for next use.

Is it complicated?

Nope. Two text fields provided with default values you do not have to touch and three buttons with two of them necessary only if you installed game and/or RCP in non-default directory.

Is is dangerous?

Not any more than RCP itself.

RCP download links

New version of Manager will be released "soon", it will use same files as posted here.
RCC packages are usable in current (ugly and bugged) release of Manager. (paste it manually and use Manager to re-generate paths.xml.

You may notice that host for files was changed to Ubuntu One. Reasons are as following:

  • Direct download without any issues. Google Drive sucks at it. 
  • Implicit allowance for use as host for installation software. Google Drive was rather against that.
  • Good download speed, not as good as Google Drive, but still "civilized".
  • "Hi-tech" GUI. I like it.

Of course there are some issues:

  • No one-click list of direct download links. So I made my own.
  • Limited space (5GB? I am not sure), so yeah. Boost RCP account on Ubuntu One by registering via this link, one referee will add enough space for ~half of RCS of one version. 
That's all for today. Separate tool for (re)generating paths.xml will come tomorrow as now I am switching my attention from computer to alcohol.
