AwesomeMod Updater (v2.8.3 - Updated 2013-10-16)
Sard:
Hello! This is probably a dumb question. Fair warning.
I want to edit the shortcut properties so that it points to updater.bat, but I'm not exactly sure what to put in the box so that it works properly. I tried plugging "C:\Users\User\Desktop\updater.bat" into the target field but I have a strong hunch that's not where I'm supposed to put it. I also tried to google it but all the results that came up were explaining other shit to do with shortcuts. Plus, I'm not sure what term is appropriate to search for the result I want.
I swear I'm not a noob! Its just been awhile!

@basbas: haha, actually had to install that to play the base game right :P, because something- somewhere advised me to install that expansion with the base game in order to get it working.

Just put updater.bat into whatever folder you're going to be keeping it in, copy its location from the Windows Explorer bar and put it in quotes in the Target field. So if updater.bat is forever going to reside on your desktop, the location you've got is correct. The "Start In" field should show the folder location (so "C:\Users\User\Desktop" in this case.)
If you're sticking updater.bat in a different folder--say, C:\Program Files (x86)\AwesomeMod Updater for example--you'd put "C:\Program Files (x86)\AwesomeMod Updater\updater.bat" in the Target field and "C:\Program Files\AwesomeMod Updater" in the Start In field.

Thank you! I wasn't sure what the difference was between the "Start In" and "Target" fields. I tried quotes but I guess I must have gotten something wrong along the way. Much appreciated, Ambular.
One more question, if you don't mind: Does doing this run updater.bat and then TS3EP09.exe afterward? That would be the gist I got from reading this thread; that it would run one and then the other in succession after checking for updates. If there not a way to do this, then I'm assuming I'll have to run them separately. I thought there was because I thought I remembered doing something similar in another game years ago.
Piffle:
The beta AwesomeMod site seems to be down and the Updater is just stuck in an endless loop of trying to access it, failing, and retrying again.
Is there a way to have it bypass that particular check?
