Another update of the Updater
Tuesday, April 3. 2007
I have just uploaded a new version of the MobMapUpdater tool. This one corrects two bugs, one error in the upload mechanism that could cause erroneous uploads in some very special circumstances and the other one in the localization part (you have probably noticed it if you're an english user: the window that's displayed when there's a newer version of the updater available was in german language in many cases. I always thought I'd sorted out this bug long ago, but it turned out that it was still present. This update should finally fix the problem. However, you might see one more of those german update notifications when the old version of the Updater wants to update to this newest version - just click the button on the left side of the window, it's the one that reads "update" ;-)
Besides those bugfixes, this new version also brings some sort of new "functionality" - not really useful, but a gimmick for those obsessed with statistics. There's a new button in the MobMapUpdater window that shows a few numbers about the data already uploaded with this updater installation like mob/position/quest/merchant/recipe count. The data includes all uploads since I started to log those numbers on the server.
Talking about statistics: I'm currently thinking about a small addition to the MobMap website showing some statistics, numbers and graphs about the data uploads (you might have guessed it by now: I'm also one of those statistics freaks). This might be just the right thing to do while the loot data I need for the next big update of MobMap flows in...
