Title. Tried a few tuts on making your own auto downloader. Could someone link me or help me get my cache to auto download on this source? I got my direct link good to go and yes the cache is a .rar file.
Dragon-Age Source cache downloader problems (UNSOLVED)
You need to either host the cache and change the connection details in your client and compile it, or use one that is already hosted.
As i’ve used this source i know what you are referring to, but in future it would be handy to show people the error you get as it could be any number of reasons as to why the cache is not downloading and the error code can help define whats going wrong where.
In your client open the UpdateCache.java file and at:
ZIP URL put where your cache would download from or use:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59796357/dragonage.zip
at VERSION URL same as above link from where it would download from:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59796357/cacheVersion.txt
credits to oldschool-scape for the links
I’ll provide pictures in a moment. But I can say that I have to right links in there, but what keeps happening is when I run the client it it says “making directory” “requesting title screen” “connection error” and when I open up the cache in my computer its only partially there. And looks to be as if its not even reading my link.
Here is what I get when loading the client.
Here is what the client is downloading as the cache.
As you can see, whatever it is downloading from, it is missing parts of the cache like the sprites and such. My client cache is as a .rar file on mediafire and the link is direct to starting the download. Im not sure where its getting that from.
I’ve tested the link and it does contain everything it should.
Pro tip:
That’s not downloading anything. Those files you see are auto-generated by your signlink when they cannot be found normally.
As for your issue:
- You need a direct link to the download. Media fire doesn’t provide these, however dropbox does with a couple edits.
- You cannot unzip a rar this way. The code in the cache downloader is specifically for a zip file. So it will check for a zip and decompress that. NOT a rar.
Great thank you. Im tinkering with it a bit. I have it as a .zip now, and it is on dropbox as a direct link.
In my CacheUpdater, I have this now:
[CODE]
public class UpdateCache implements Runnable {
public static final String ZIP_URL = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ksyjth05203c3qi/.DEcache.zip?dl=0";
public static final String VERSION_URL = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ksyjth05203c3qi/.DEcache.zip?dl=0";
public static final String VERSION_FILE = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ksyjth05203c3qi/.DEcache.zip?dl=0";
private Client client;
Client frame;
public UpdateCache(Client client) {
this.client = client;
}[/CODE]
says requesting title screen and still trying to make a directory. Looking all over the internet for a fix. I know people use this source so I cant be the only one who ran into this issue.

Okay… This is going to be assumed, as you didn’t provide the entire class:
ZIP_URL is the direct link to the cache.
VERSION_URL is a link to a .txt file with a version number in it
VERSION_FILE is the name of a .dat file the client would use for checking the version against the text file
Makes sense. Although Im not quite familiar with how to make a working .dat file for checking the version. Conducting research online for it as well currently.
You don’t need to make the dat file.
Simply just put a file name in there that ends with ".dat"
As for the text file. just put a number in it, like “1”
Okay working on it.

Just for reference. ^
Still nothing. zip url=cache itself. version url= text file with just a version.txt with a number in it. version file is a version.dat with the same number in it as the version url.
You didn’t listen to me at all when I said to make a single text file and place a number in it.
Also remove “?dl=0” from your links.
Okay, took out the “?dl=0”. I did make a single file. The .txt is zipped with just a number 1 in it. the .dat is literally an empty .dat that is zipped.
public static final String ZIP_URL = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ksyjth05203c3qi/.DEcache.zip";

public static final String VERSION_FILE = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/c7ebcagzmby01oz/cacheVersion.dat.zip";
private Client client;
The only file that needs to be a zip is the cache.
The text file needs to be a raw text file.
The .dat file needs to be just a name with the .dat extension

Because. You’re. Not. Listening.
For the fifth time, the VERSION_FILE is just a dat file.
You do not upload anything. You do not create a link. You simply put the NAME OF THE FILE along with “.dat” for the VERSION_FILE.
I apologize. This is just really frustrating and its messing with my mind. Okay. did that. STILL nothing. Comp is about to go flying out of my window.

After you changed it to that did you delete the cache folder from where it downloads?
damn son
replace dropboxusercontent with dropbox

that shit happens when it can’t fetch ur cache properly from the link

The link he has is fine. dropboxusercontent is basically the same as dropbox.com
