AwesomeMod Updater (v2.8.3 - Updated 2013-10-16)
Cheetah:
I seem to have the same Error as Tamany.
Files are correctly placed, though the updater says it doesn't find the "Mods"-Folder.
German OS, WinXP SP3
Mods placed The New Way
Perhaps it got something to do with the Documents-Directory? In my case and Tamany's the folder is placed directly on the harddrive. Mine isn't even placed on the Windows-Harddrive, but on "E:\"
I'm not all in batch-programming, but could you do an step-by-step-debug-version, which prints the folder, in which the program works?
I saw in the code, that it should delete the Scriptcache.package before checking for the mods-Folder. In my Sims3-Folder, this file is still present. Maybe it doesn't even change the folder to the Sims3-Folder?
Screenshot attached:
edit:
added an "cd" in the batch-file:
Code:
cd "%docs%\Electronic Arts\*Sims 3"
cd
if exist "Updater" RD "Updater"
if exist scriptCache.package del scriptCache.package
if not exist "Mods" goto :error5
If i run it now, it says that my Desktop is the current folder, where the .bat is located.
tried a bit around in cmd.
While i can create and delete folders and files on other partitions, it is not possible to change the partition I'm working on. I start on "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Chris\" and can change to any other folder on C:\ and create and remove folders on my other harddrives, but if i try to change the partition to "D:\", the program just gives my last position back:
seems to be Niir's problem, too.
Additional Note: Im working with administrative rights, so this shouldn't be the problem.
I can't just move the batch to the drive of my documents folder or my sims-Folder, cause they are on different drives. (documents is on "E:\", Sims is on "F:\")
If i move the bat to E, it works fine with updating, but doesn't start the game, as he can't change the working directory to my Sims-Directory.

You're right. Now we've got the problem. As my game files are on the same partition as my Documents directory, I never noticed it.
I'm currently scouring the internet for a way to change the directory to another partition.

Yeah, I already had a plan for that.
Cheetah:
If you simply enter "D:", you can change the partition.
I don't know how, but i think it's possible to extract the partition from an path and change it prior to the directory change.
You don't even need to check if the current partition is the target partition, you can simply change it. Changing to the current partition does nothing, thus shouldn't be mailicious.
basbas:
Adding "/d" to cd works for me.
Code:
cd /d "D:\blah"
The new version should work for you all. Please report!
Updated to v1.7.2
Fixed partition issue.

This program is awesome, though I'm currently trying to find a way to use this program in conjunction with granthes's Custom Launcher on MTS, either by somehow forcing the Custom Launcher to open the Updater or by rerouting it. That would be *perfect*.
