It's already been fixed in the soon to be released update. :D

Since today - everytime I update the serverlist I get the following error message: *click*

Edit: It also happens when I only update the pings. It always happens after all pings were updated.

Sorry, would've fixed these problems along with a few others that have been reported, but I've been away from home for the last few days.

There should be an update at some point tonight. I'll probably start creating new threads for each update with the title "Spadille vx.x" or something to that effect. Having a single thread for all releases gets rather tedious after a while.

Wow, some nice improvement.

One minor typo: Down at the bottom of the main window it says "Blaclisted" missing the "k".

Alright, I'll fix it in a new release soon. I'm currently not home right now so I have no way of fixing it.

Also, there was an issue with checking for updates with 1.3.10 and older. It's been resolved, there was an issue regarding the new domain change.

nice update, updating all pings seems to work correctly now

but i'm getting an "unhandled exception" error when i try to sort the list by ping

Another suggestion for Spadille: remember the sorting of the list when you start the program. This would be one less tendency to click anything at all.

I finally released my source on github

There technically is a pause between each ping. The pings can change each time due to a wide variety of factors. But I'm planning on fixing a lot of problems with the pinging in the next update.

just installed for the first time - great program, the tools are quite handy.

question though, when updating all pings, can the request between each server be slightly delayed rather than requesting them all at the same time? i get inaccurate lagged response times from all of them unless i manually ping the servers individually.

Huh...seems like. Just saw the v0.52 announcement. :D

Maybe I'm a wizard. :D

Hm...do you know something we don't know...or why does Spadille tell me that "Ace of Spades v0.52" is released? ;)
How do you actually check for a new version? I see no static webpage which you could use to check for the versionnumber...there's not even a default download-URL which you could check...

Huh...you've become admin on the forums. Gratz! :)

Alright, I'll take a look at it when you get the chance. Either post on here or in IRC.

Oh i meant to say, I am releasing it so you can incorporate the solution in spadille if you want.

I built a mod manager in python. I'll release the code on github, hopefully after work today. It can load any filename and change it to the correct file name for AOS.

I wanted to do something more elaborate than simple file swaps before a released it, oh well. Before I derail the the thread, I'll stop there

I could try and incorporate something like that into the next release.

Ahem?

The mod manager is a little bit stupid.
Maybe when you press "Assign", it asks what name will you put it (example: semi) not that name it is in the mods folder (example: blunderbuss)

This program is meant to make stuff faster, isn't it?

That's the only logical thing that I have thought of doing. I guess it's due to to some servers having ICMP disabled.

StackOverflow: For a reliable ping, you can pretend to be a normal client (or the master server, even) and send a ConnectionRequest UDP packet, then wait for ConnectionResponse. For reference, look at the pyspades source (http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/source/browse/pyspades/loaders.py#53) or message me on IRC if Python doesn't make sense to you :)

The pings on the server are not entirely reliable as that is the ping between the master server and game server, not between you and the game server. The speeds that you are seeing are more accurate for you because they are sent directly from your computer. The "???" is a bug I still have to work out. In short, some servers (some game servers in this case) don't allow you to ping them directly, hence returning a "blank" ping, thus resulting in the "???".

cool.
Iv'e noticed that the pings in your app seems to be alot higher than when i'm on the website?
For example:
Prestige World Wide server: 59 ms - 260 ms (59 ms on website and 260 ms on the spadille)
Harbor Urban map with serverbot 75 ms - 340 ms

Theres also some servers that don't show the ping but this ???
updating pings does help but only sometimes, is that a bug or just me.

Alright, I'll be sure to add it into the next release. And I make Spadille for everyone. I'm open to any suggestions

Ye that would work but it is yours you can do whatever you like.

Okay, I think I understand you know. The least-obtrusive way I can think about going about that is by appending a number to one of the files (ex "semi.png" becomes "semi1.png")

Would something of that nature help?

I meant when you have two .png with the same name like mine. I had the original and one i downloaded and they were both called semi.png and it wouldn't allow me to upload them both because the files were the same name so i had to change the name of one of em. This isn't a big deal changing it is so easy but if you do run out of things to add or fix you can probably change it that you can add files of the same name.

Thanks a lot george94. Typos seem to be a gift of mine lol

That one part is supposed to read "the bottom at the top and change".

I'm not sure what you mean regarding the sights. The names of the sights can be whatever you like, they aren't limited like the mods as.

The names can be whatever you want, the only requirement is that they must be a PNG.

Wow I just noticed this thread and downloaded your program and I really like it.

I looked at your readme file and felt the "Using Spadille" section very useful, helped me understand just about everything. The converter tool needs a small help section tho, it's not to hard to figure out but there are people who probably wont understand. I did find a few typo's but nothing so bad that you couldn't understand except for this part:
You can toggle automatic updating of the server listing by using
{the bottom at the top and change}
the update intervals by going to Servers->Update Speed.

Maybe its just me but I didn't understand that.

My favourite tools are the:
Config Editor (which really does make changing your name simpler)
Screenshots
Manage sights (Quick and easy way to change sights but a problem I have with it is that the names have to be different, leaving you to changing it yourself before adding it to the list)

By the way I don't see the point of connecting to a random server, I can't see anyone using that.

Thank you for all your hard work and your continuous updates. I think you should keep on working on it because it really is a useful tool and I'm sure i'll be using it from now on. Can't wait to see those future updates.
