Stable vs Unstable Binaries
Even though I compile my own binaries, I noticed, when one uses the update script to download binaries, the "stable" download is a lot farther dated than I anticipated. No big deal to me, but I was noticing the last "modified" date on the stable download is Feb 13th.
That is not a problem for anybody, but I was curious about one thing, involving the "installer", as I assume it downloads the "stable" binaries ? But at the same time, the installer also downloads a very current PEQ database. That database contains all the new faction values/tables that was implemented in the source code March 1st, (after the Feb 13th stable binaries). Am I going anywhere useful with this observation ? lol ;) (just curious) https://i.ibb.co/6DQMP38/Binaries-Feb13.jpg |
This is actually kind of weird. If I download the binaries from the update script (below), it gives me that Feb 13 date on the files. But if I download the binaries directly from that link, it gives me a date of May 28th on the binaries. Anyone else feeling like testing that out, between update script and direct download ? Maybe my own puter is trolling me, lol
Code:
Enter a command #> windows_server_download |
Not sure why you're getting a May 28 date..the installer stable binaries were last updated on Feb 13.

My link points to the repo page..clicking the download button there redirects to the actual binary link used in the script.

Sorry, I'm not sure. This is the contents of that zip file I downloaded from that link, directly. (with May 28th date). It's confusing, for sure. The update script gives me the Feb 13th date. If I copy and paste that link above - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ak...dows_build.zip I get this zip:

That's really weird...
Sounds like a github issue. |
I just ran a few tests on it...
- Updating through eqemu_server.pl - Downloading from github repo page - Downloading from the console window link you posted All three for me show 2/13/2019. Try using different compression software to open the zip..might be running into an issue with how they handle date-time if it's an older version. |
Ya, I'm thinking something on my end is not quite right. I tried downloading from that github repo link you provided and I still got the May 28 date, lol. I'll get something else going other than winrar.
|
Yup, it was winrar doing it. I got rid of that and got the correct dates now ;)
But anyways, back to my OP. I was just noticing, that anyone installing the "stable" binaries, (by whatever method), since they are based on source code before March 01st, if they wanted to take advantage of the new faction values, they would need to download the "unstable" version of the binaries. |
Yes, there has always been a balancing act of when to update the 'stable' binaries.
There's been a lot of netcode reworks and tweaks lately. I'll look to update those after I collaborate with other devs and once the netcode has had a little more burn-in time. |
