Ok first Beta version of Carbonite Quest Data Uploader (Windows only).

How it works:
1) its all-in-one .exe
2) first startup creates windows autostart shortcut (starts with Windows)
3) first startup waits till WoW is launched and gets its directory (saves it in .ini file)
4) waits till WoW is closed
5) checks if Quests Gathering part has changed
6) then makes upload with only one file Carbonite.Quests.lua (only gziped part for Quests Gathering)
7) resets Quests Gathering part in Carbonite.Quests.lua
8) again waits till WoW is started then goes to point 4 (which is the main loop)

Please test it and report any errors/issues (dont know if it works for XP).

Still no joy. A blue border appears around the Upload button and that's it.
Tested with PaleMoon v25.2.0 (http://www.palemoon.org/) and FireFox v34.0.5, don't have another browser installed to test with.

Weird I have FireFox and no problem with upload. U can try my .exe uploader ;) U are Windows user?

p.s. try to clean your cache, maybe site was cached and u dont see latests version.

Please press Ctrl-Shift-K in Firefox, this opens a developer console. On there, you should be able to see any error that happens. Please tell us what you see when you try to upload.

For claryfication: this error was when u make your windows shutdown as WoW window was still open and Uploader running?

samyonair 01-19-15 05:35 AM

Yes that was the way.. How it comes to that error think has to do with win closeing behavior. Posted this if it goes live could be a issue for other users as well.. I don't know How but is it possible to male a call if shutdown is Run and then upload on next boot? Greetings samyonair

Windows has event for shutdown i just didnt predicted this to happen... I'll just implement this event today and all will be fine.

Any plans of making a manual upload version - wen you start the program it just uploads the file and doesn't hook to startup, running all the time or checking if wow has stopped to upload (maybe just check if it is running and give a warning).

I will add later option to manual upload data by clicking option in Tray Menu. But application must stay in tray, becouse it must get WoW path anyway.

The thing is that it checks if changes are made in Carbonite.Quests.lua and only uploads it if there is something to upload. WoW must be stopped becouse only then SavedVariables are saved and file isnt used. App is light (cpu and memory) and u dont have to remember to make manual upload each time. Also it gzips data so its less data to transfer (as its text compressed so the uploaded file is very, very small).

The point was to make it simple and as transparent as it can be. For other users which dont want to use .exe uploader or cant (Linux or other systems) there is manual upload here: http://atk.github.io/Carbonite/.

nelegalno2 01-19-15 10:10 AM

As an app for the casual user this is probably the best choice, but the advanced user's (like us) won't like it and you can probably guess way. Not to mention the Windows Home users that are limited to 4 programs ...

Let's say I'm using a bat file to do some cleanup before and/or after starting the game if there is an exe that I can run from it by adding a line at the end for example: carb_questdatauploader.exe "C:\Games\WoW\WTF\Account\<user>\SavedVariables\Carbonite.Quests.lua" or C:\Games\WoW\WTF\Account\<user>\SavedVariables\carb_questdatauploader.exe and when run it will upload the Carbonite.Quests.lua.


P.S. The script displays an error msg when used with empty file (quest gathering data removed) and with the file intact:

https://atk.github.io/Carbonite/ is HTTPS and this is making this block couse my server is HTTP, try http://atk.github.io/Carbonite/ for upload.

Which version of Carbonite Quests has this toggle. The last one I downloaded a week or so back didn't have the option to turn on quest gathering and no notes on the carbonite quests download page to show what has been added per update.

ircdirk 01-19-15 03:37 PM

Latest Live version (6.0.1) has it but its disabled, u must turn it on:

You are correct, why don't you use HTTPS for you're server address as well? It shouldn't be a problem and should solve the problem for users (like me) that force SSL for github.

Xrystal 01-19-15 05:39 PM

Thanks ircdirk,

Just started a new toon on a friends server so will periodically post data. How often will depend on how often I play it. But will try and update in blocks/zones/quest hubs etc.

ircdirk 01-20-15 01:56 AM

Changes:

1) I've added GitHub repositiory with source code od Carbonite Quest Data Uploader, everyone can check code and complie it with AutoIt.
2) Implemented WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION know it should close without errors while Windows Shutdown (but this have to be tested)

Exe from repo updated in first post.

Becouse i dont have SSL (signed certs cost money) and self generated will throw error as its not validated. Atl77 should make change code on site to force HTTP.

Actually there is SSL by COMODO till 13/04/2016 for *.hekko.pl (I did check before asking). Can you test submitting a file to it thru HTTPS just in case?

BTW Sites can't force HTTP on users, but it works the other way around if they have SSL.

ohhh didnt know that they have wildcard certificate for this... we will use it no problem.

They CAN, as simple as it sounds: if HTTPS then redirect to HTTP. This way no one can access this site by HTTPS ;)

Update: now it works on both https://atk.github.io/Carbonite/ and http://atk.github.io/Carbonite/, please check.
