blindcoder Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Love modding PZ?Running through the forums thrice daily to check for new versions?Tired of doing so? Then go and nudge your Mod Creator to support Tiny_AVC! What is Tiny_AVC?It's the Tiny Automated Version Checker! What's it do?It checks if there's a new version for your installed mods! How does it do that?Automagically! If your mods creator supports it, that is. Cool! What does it look like?Like this:Version 0.8.0:Version 0.6.0:Earlier versions: Awesome! What do mod creators need to do to support tiny_avc?Nothing much!Supporting TinyAVC in your mod is easy. Just open the mod.info file and add the following lines:modversion=0.7.0pzversion=32.16versionurl=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blind-coder/pz-tiny_avc/master/mod.infomodversionThis is the current version of your mod.pzversionThe version of Project Zomboid the mod has been developed for.versionurlA url which points to a online file containing the version information.TinyAVC will use this file to fetch the latest information about your mod. The file has to contain the modversion and pzversion fields. If you want to notify your users of a new version you only have to change the modversion value and Tiny AVC will display a notification.As this file has the same syntax as the mod.info file, you can simply use that. Fantastic! Where do I get this magic piece of a mod?Either from github: https://github.com/blind-coder/pz-tiny_avc/releases/Or from Spiffos Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=501890482Or right here:pz-tiny_avc-0.8.5.zippz-tiny_avc-0.8.4.zippz-tiny_avc-0.8.3.zippz-tiny_avc-0.8.2.zippz-tiny_avc-0.8.0.zippz-tiny_avc-0.7.0.ziptiny_avc-0.6.0.ziptiny_avc-0.5.0.ziptiny_avc_0.4.7.ziptiny_avc_0.4.6.ziptiny_avc_0.4.5.ziptiny_avc_0.4.4.ziptiny_avc_0.4.3.ziptiny_avc_0.4.2.ziptiny_avc_0.4.1.ziptiny_avc_0.4.0.ziptiny_avc_0.3.1.ziptiny_avc_0.3.0.ziptiny_avc_0.2.0.ziptiny_avc_0.1.0.zip ChangeLogV0.8.5: Better support for workshop items.V0.8.3: Adapt to changes in getFileReader in PZ 32.20.V0.8.2: Add support for translation (Thanks, RoboMat!)V0.8.1: broken! do not use!V0.8.0: Uses mod.info instead of tiny_avc.txt, better UI integration.V0.7.0: Download PZ Version information online instead of hardcodedV0.6.0: Greatly improve user interface again, add versions 32.3 and 32.4V0.5.0: Update to be compatible with EA 32.2, breaks compatibility with earlier versions!V0.4.7: Add PZ Version EA 31.11 through 31.20 (future compatible!)V0.4.6: Add PZ Versions EA 31.7 through 31.10V0.4.5: Add PZ Version EA 31.2 through 31.5V0.4.2: Add PZ Version EA 31.1V0.4.1: Correctly handle window resizing againV0.4.0: Even more UI goodnessV0.3.1: Properly handle window resizesV0.3.0: Seamless integration into MODS screenV0.2.0: Much needed UI overhaulV0.1.0: Initial Release Special ThanksTo RoboMat who made the v0.8.0 release possible!

CaptKaspar Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Wow, blindcoder you are probably the greatest asset to this community outside the TIS team! You're always making something awesome or coming up with great ideas! Keep it up! I'd buy you a beer if I could to cheers! blindcoder 1
lemmy101 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 You are a legend mr. blindcoder, muffin or no blindcoder 1
Jela331 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I'm still waiting for the day when Blindcoder becomes a part of The Indie Stone. Kitaelia and blindcoder 2
Jatta Pake Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 More brilliance! I love the community here. Count me (and my meager mods) in! blindcoder 1
Koregan Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I'm still waiting for the day when Blindcoder becomes a part of The Indie Stone.No ETA. Nice job!(I imagine... you, building a loginscreen for MP with buttons for downloading the needed mods... ) blindcoder 1
TheRezAbides Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Oh man, this will be a godsend for lot of us mod users. Modders: PLEASE support this!
blindcoder Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Wow, blindcoder you are probably the greatest asset to this community outside the TIS team! You're always making something awesome or coming up with great ideas! Keep it up! I'd buy you a beer if I could to cheers! You are a legend mr. blindcoder, muffin or no Thanks, everyone! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now
blindcoder Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 I'm still waiting for the day when Blindcoder becomes a part of The Indie Stone.No ETA. Nice job!(I imagine... you, building a loginscreen for MP with buttons for downloading the needed mods... ) That's a cool idea, but I think I'd need access to a few more Java classes for that. Hmm... *mumblemumble*
blindcoder Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 UPDATE New version that adds a much needed UI overhaul (see screenshot in OP)!Of course, if you use it, you'll be notified of the update
blindcoder Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 UPDATE The "Check for Updates" button is now seamlessly integrated into the MODS screen right next to the "Get Mods here!" button. I feel like that's where it belongs
blindcoder Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 UPDATE Even more UI goodness! The seperate lines per mod now have mouseover-highlights and the last line only uses up space when it's necessary.Also, the codebase is much nicer now IMO, but that's nothing the end-user will see
blindcoder Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 UPDATE So, v0.4.2 is broken, because I thought I didn't need to test stuff if I only do a minor addition. Turns out I introduced a syntax error that breaks v0.4.2. So here v0.4.3 which is actually tested :/
blindcoder Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 UPDATE v0.4.5 adds all Early Access Build 31.x releases up to .6.
Maska_zgz Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I fully support this initiative. A magnificent work, blindcoder. From now on, if this mod is still in development, all new versions of my mods will be compatible with tiny_avc. It would be possible that this mod will be updated for the latest beta builds? EDIT: I downloaded the latest version (0.4.5) but nevertheless, in the screen of mods, tiny_avc shows the version 0.4.4, and tiny_avc.txt file in your mod folder also indicates that the version is 0.4.4. This is intentional? blindcoder 1

blindcoder Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Small update adding 4 more PZ versions.
abreu20011 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Amazing mod blindcode! One small thing, I imagine that is because the "Early Access" string in the version code, but the mod tells that you need update the PZomboid when the latest version is now installed
blindcoder Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 UPDATE I have just uploaded version 0.4.7.Changelog:- Add PZ Version "Early Access v. 31.11" through "Early Access v. 31.20"Yes, right now there's "only" "Early Access v. 31.13", but this hopefully makes tiny_avc a teensy bit future proof. Although I foresee TIS to change the naming scheme just to thwart me! Enjoy! abreu20011 1
blindcoder Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 UPDATE I have updated tiny_avc to be compatible with PZ Early Access v. 32.02! tiny_avc 0.5.0 will NOT work with any previous versions!It doesn't add any new functionality, either, though.
blindcoder Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 UPDATE Version 0.6.0 is released with a MUCH IMPROVED (i.e: scrollable!) UI and support for PZ EA 32.3 and 32.4! Enjoy
blindcoder Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 UPDATE Version 0.7.0 now downloads PZ Version Information and backwards compatibility online instead of shipping it hardcoded.This way it's now no longer necessary to create a new tiny_avc version every time TIS release a new PZ version. Enjoy
blindcoder Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 UPDATE Version 0.8.0 is out (see first post)! LOTS of changes in here:New and improved UI integrationThe version information is now directly integrated into the Mod Selector! No more extra windows to take care of!Uses mod.info instead of tiny_avc.txt now!The update information are now integrated into mod.info! No need for tiny_avc.txt anymore (although it is still supported for backwards compatibility). This makes supporting tiny_avc even easier for Modders (see first post for details)Special Thanks go to RoboMat for the mod.info support (all kudos to him!) and generally helping me out a lot! This version wouldn't exist without him! Enjoy! Thuztor and RoboMat 2
RoboMat Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I feel special now Also with 0.8.0 it really is "tiny"
