Hello chaps,
Apologies for the big delay on this. I hope it is not too late. These are the files you can expect to have available on the http server (not yet, but soon). Assuming www is a simplification of the real URL, you will have
www/updater/metadata.json
#!json
{
"timestamp" : "YYYY-MM-DD_Epoch",
"mods" :
[
{ "name" : "Tactical Battlefield v3.10.1", "foldername" : "@TacBF", "torrent-timestamp" : "YYYY-MM-DD_Epoch" },
{ "name" : "Community Base Addons v1.09", "foldername" : "@CBA_A3", "torrent-timestamp" : "YYYY-MM-DD_Epoch" }
],
"teamspeak" : "ts.tacbf.com",
"servers" :
[
{"name" : "Official #1", "URL" : "31.210.129.135" }
]
}
The timestamp of the metadata file is the last modification time, so you know whether something has changed if you keep that value on the user box. Epoch will be given in seconds.
The name is extracted from mod.cpp, if provided, and can be used for presentation purposes.
The folder name matches the root folder in the torrent and the folder by which the mod can be accessed via http, as in www/updater/@TacBF
www/updater/obsole-mods.json
#!json
[
{ "YYYY-MM-DD_Epoch" : [ "foldername3", "foldername4" ] },
{ "YYYY-MM-DD_Epoch" : [ "foldername1", "foldername2" ] }
]
In this file each entry os sorted chronologically by the first field, oldest first. This file can be used to tell the user some mods are no longer in used. It should be used as follows: once the metadata has been updated on the user box, take its timestamp and compare it against each of the timestamp entries in the obsolete-mods file. If found, collect all the mods from that entry and all the entries that folllow until the end of the file and ask if the user wants the updater to remove those mods only once. This way we don't have to pest the user whether they want to remove each obsolete mod everytime an update happens.
Finally, for each mod, a file that indexes every file and directory, so you can clean up after downloading the torrent, the torrent file itself named after the mod and a mirror of the mod itself, so every file is available via http
www/updater/'foldername'.index.json
#!json
[
{ "p" : "mod.cpp", "t" : "file" },
{ "p" : "addons", "t" : "dir" },
{ "p" : "addons\\ice_fps.pbo", "t" : "file" }
...
]
www/updater/'foldername'-'torrent-timestamp'.torrent
www/updater/'foldername'
where 'foldername' and 'torrent-timestamp' matches the values in www/updater/metadata.json

If a subprocess crashes or somehow throws a stack trace, the main process ignores that fact and does not terminate the "connection" to that process. It just stays up indefinitely.
The main program should react to that error. Preferably by:

We need to make sure TeamSpeak is installed and point the user to the download location if it isn't since TeamSpeak requires to link to the download page (instead to the full download) where the user has to agree to the licence manually.

When terminating the main process from the UI (by clicking the X button at the top right) while a syncer is in progress, the main window disappears, but the syncer is still active and working.
There should be a way to inform the subprocess that it should terminate gracefully or at least a way to kill it.
Without that, the torrent syncer may download some mods for hours before it finally terminates, while holding file handles the whole time.

The torrent syncer should handle all kind of error correctly.
This will probably require reading libtorrent's alerts

Implement a way to (quickly!) check if all required mods are installed and are up to date.
This should NOT rely on libtorrent methods as doing an md5sum of 8GB of data is a lenghty process and cannot be done every time the game will be launched.

After downloading a mod (or updating its contents), the module should list all the files contained in the torrent it just downloaded.
It should then compare those files to the directory tree. All files on disk but not contained in the torrent should be removed.
Extra care must be taken to not remove files outside of the mod directory.
Also, do not remove files created by #13.
Do not remove files that may have been created by PWS or other installers (need more research).

We have to be prepared so that the server hosting the metadata may go down. This may not prevent the player from running the game, especially if his version is up to date. As such, the interface should show up as soon as possible, and then maybe make the "play" button greyed out while metadata is retrieved. If this fails, show a message to the user and allow him to play the game regardless.
Thats a good one Lukasz!

We need a small grey window (something about ~400px x 40px), preferably borderless with a caption in the middle and a button to the right.
The caption will be used to print text like "autoupdater: waiting for application to close". Maybe something else like "autoupdater: error, timeout". The button should read "abort".
Should this go in an separate kivy app so you can start it independently? (Other kivyapp just means different python file with own bootstrap)
I'd like this to end up in the same exe as we have been using up until now. If "own boostrap" means that this will need a separate executable, then no. Otherwise, feel free to do it the way you prefer.
The purpose of this enhancement is to have a minimalistic way of notifying the user should something go wrong while autoupdating, which is done in another (new process). Also showing progress is another use of that window. As soon as the update is performed, the whole process will shut down, destroying that window and will call the new, updated exe.
