I get the same error as above with the current version.

D'oh

Didn't see I had to replace updater.result by result twice.

Updater.love

If this version doesn't work, I'll eat my own hat, sir.

[Jasoco]

Well.... Do you want ketchup?

Line 67: Bad argument #1 to "setfenv" (Number expected, got nil)

Is this my fault? It's in 0.6.2.

Of course it isn't. So, Robin, I believe you owe us a youtube video of you eating your own hat.

I think we can skip that step, and go straight to me shooting myself.

Actually, that is not my fault, neither Jasoco's. It is just means the retrieved Updater config file is not valid Lua. So, it doesn't work with the standard server, because it is just an example.

Nevertheless, this version provides a (slightly) clearer error message.

Updater.love

Yay! Errors!

I think I know whats wrong.
You have to use LTN12 to get binary data.

Code: Select all

ltn12 = require("ltn12")

function download( server, file )
    local nfile = love.filesystem.newFile( file )
    nfile:open('w')
    local lsink = ltn12.sink.file(nfile)
    local f, e = http.request{
		url = 'http://'..server..'/'..file,
		sink = lsink
    }
    nfile:close()
end

EDIT:
Here's an example I've made. It downloads my cards game from a remote server and you can launch it without restarting.

[bartbes]

You don't have to.

[ljdp]

Oh...
Well I haven't figured out how to without it.
Plus you can do stuff while it's downloading using the ltn12.pump functions, which seems simpler than coroutines.

[bartbes]

Well, good thing there's a new version then (I haven't released it yet, it is currently being tested.)

[bartbes]

Finally releasing the new version, under a new name: DILDo Is a Library for Downloading, also known as DILDo.
File is in the OP.

[Jasoco]

Okay. Now we're just trying to make these library names NSFW. lol
