I started to build a tool for those of us that like to stay up to date with the latest nightly releases.
It is still in alpha mode, but here is what I have left to do:
1. Data Retrieval
A. Retrieve list of nightly zip files
B. Retrieve description of nightly zip files
2. Display
A. Display nightly versions
B. Display description of nightly version when selected
3. Functionality
A. Download File
B. Provide Backup option of current installed version
C. Install Nightly
D. Include Settings for Proxy
4. GUI
A. Look and feel
Version 1.0 (Available for Download) See below :) I need testers
-
name it OpenXcom Updater! ;D ;D ;D

Yh. Wasn't sure what the best name would be, but your's make sense :)

Worked on the GUI. It now displays the available nightlies and the description that follows it.
See first post for image update.

Very interesting dude :)

Thanks. It is coming along nicely.

Updated first post to include image showing the zip file being downloaded after clicking 'Install'
Slowly getting there ;D
-
Very close to being complete.
I have it downloading, backing up, and updating the core files. ;D
I am going to make a change to the listview (has some quirks I don't like), but in its current state, it is FULLY functional.

ITS HERE!
See the first post for download of executable. Please give it a go and advise on issues or features you would like to see.
-
First suggestion: Make it opensource and put it on GitHub. 8)

My only question... is it actually easier than just unzipping the nightly into the openxcom folder?
-
Integrate this with OXC in 1.1 and have it check online automatically.

Sure thing!

And require another DLL? The horror! :P

We can give you an API if you prefer so you don't have to page-scrape the website.

I don't personally care much for auto-update, I don't mind doing it by hand, but well... OpenTTD has it, so, just saying... ;D
-
Give the man an API.

I got a message saying OpenXcomUpdater.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Speaking of Nightlies, I want to show a new player that's been an old-hat X-com vet that had no idea this project existed. The problem is I can't find the latest EU Nightly before the flood of TFTD Nightlies took over the page. For the sake of easing this new player in, what was the latest EU Nightly?
-
The nightlies are for both EU and TFTD.
Or in other words the latest nightly is also the latest EU nightly.

I uh, TOTALLY knew that! Yeah! I was uh, testing you all! Yes that's it!

Pardon me, but I don't get it. How should it actually work, anyone?
Yesterday I bought UFO Defence on Steam, set up OpenXCom Nightly version.
Now today I'm trying to update OpenXCom, but the updater is telling me that the game is not found.
I've extracted it to every possible folder but there was always the same result. MODS dir, UFO dir, Openxcom core dir...
WAIDW? :) Please?
WIN7, all latest frameworks...
-
name it OpenXcom Updater! ;D ;D ;D
Sure!! A very useful tool for both win and linux users, espacially with "finalmrelases" so that there be no need anymore to repackage it all over again! Provided that it will be avaiable even for linux... :/ Once finished it may be linked in openxocm homepage! Again, plesse pin upmthe thread!
-
I'm also getting 'game not found, process cancelled'. I've unzipped the updater into the core directory, starts ok and finds the nightlies. Click install and 'game not found'.

i'm going to assume it wants a more current version than 1.0

I use git client to update. You can access older versions with it and build them yourself.
But for all non technical users this might be a good help :>
