I can't figure out the yep_dirs file... #2

Closed Xamusel closed 8 years ago

Xamusel commented 8 years ago

So, I'm trying to modify the text file involved in the utility released so far... and so far, I can't figure out what to write for the directories. Care to remind me what I need to do?

nekoyoubi commented 8 years ago

Depending on what directory you run the YEP Auto-Update from, and how ever many projects you're updating will determine what your yep_dirs.txt will look like. If you're running it from a project's root (and for only one project total), you really just want to blank out the file. This will make it assume you're updating to the js/plugins folder of the current working directory. I, before breaking this into another folder for this repo, used to run it from a folder parallel to my RMMV projects, so my yep_dirs.txt looked something like:

yep ..\Project1 ..\Project2 ..\Project3

This would create a subdirectory under my cwd (current working directory) named yep\js\plugins for posterity (so I could quickly copy & paste to a new project if needed. It would also update all of the individual projects' js\plugins folders to be the current version of YEP (overwriting older copies, but not removing anything in case there are other plugins).

Does that help?

Xamusel commented 8 years ago

Oh, yes, it helps a lot. Thank you very much.

nekoyoubi commented 8 years ago

Oh, and the ..\ just means "step up one directory" in pathing, if that was the confusing part.

Xamusel commented 8 years ago

Yeah, that did confuse me a lot, actually... I'm still not good with command prompt terms like that.

I may be able to write something to allow you to navigate and select projects in a visual dialog in the future, but I honestly didn't expect to put nearly this level of detail into it from the start as it started as just a tool for me to keep my projects up-to-date. I'll think on that for a bit and see if that would help make it make more sense for people.

Xamusel commented 8 years ago

I think it would, actually... otherwise, I'll have to do so much learning of command prompt terms.

I've added a new feature for adding projects to the yep_dirs.txt as requested. Also, if you run the new binaries from a project folder, no prompts will be given, and a blank yep_dirs.txt will be created. If the script/binaries are ran from a folder that does not appear to be an RMMV project, the blank file wil still be created, but an add project dialog will be presented. Thanks for the suggestion, friend.

You are most welcome.
