Dawn of Light

Thanks Metty for this release:

v2.2: 7th January 2008

Code: Select all

- Bugfix: The Quicklogin window will now size correctly
- Bugfix: Tray-Quicklogin will now also minimize the window if opened
- Bugfix: (null) passwords no longer throw an exception
- Bugfix: Quicklogin will now work without having specified a character/realm
- Bugfix: Customlist "Remove Server" will now work
- Change: Moved 'Remove Server' @Customlist to the context menu
- Added: You can now also edit custom serverlist entries
- Added: Enabled the ModMgr - Uthgard users will know it, for every one else it is rather useless at this time
- Added: Clicking on a file with .dmm extension will integrate the plugin into DAoC Portal
- Added: Added a ping-status in the customserverlist
- Added: You can now set a server as a 'favorite' server by using the server list context menu.
DAoC Portal will then open the favorite tab by default and display this server there.
- Added: Added a basic IRC Client - Just use the IRC Tab or rightclick on a server and choose
'Connect to IRC' - But don't expect much, its just a basic client - nothing more.

v2.1b:

Code: Select all

- Bugfix: Tray-Icon is now named correctly
- Bugfix: Clicking on 'Play' @Customserver Tab no longer causes an error if no server is selected
- Bugfix: AutoUpdate-Form is no longer maximizable
- Bugfix: Fixed an error caused by an empty, but existing customlist file
- Change: Increased ClientID Max from 5 to 9
- Change: Changed refresh interval from 3 to 5 mins
- Change: Renamed 'Quicklogin' to 'Character' @quicklogin
- Change: Renamed 'Name' to 'Description' @quicklogin
- Change: 'Realm' now also accepts strings ('Albion', ..)
- Change: DAoCPortal now uses good old .INI Config files instead of registry keys (you'll have to set daoc portal up again, sry)
- Added: You can now quicklogin a server by using the context menu of the tray icon
- Added: URL-Handling now also supports SIDs instead of urls (daoc://sid::42/ e.g.)
- Added: URL-Handling Shortcuts now also support the -nowindow, which connects to the server without asking the user to click on 'Play'
- Added: There's a "How-To" item in the Help-menu providing help

v2.1a:

Code: Select all

- Removed: The tgame.dll feature was removed - IF you really need it, theres still dolloader.exe
- Removed: ContextMenus no longer have image stripes
- Bugfix: Some exceptions fixed, which were caused by a disposed mainform
- Bugfix: Some minor fixes, not worth being named
- Bugfix: Fixed a typo, hah!
- Change: URL-Handling is now done asynchronous
- Change: Auto Updater now displays a 'Start' button instead of starting the patch process instant
- Change: Only client IDs used are now displayed
- Change: Resized the window a bit so that the description window is larger
- Added: You now can set and choose between more than one client easily (also added -clt= arg for shortcuts)
- Added: Option for emptying a client ID
- Added: You can now access the URL Dialog from DAoC Portal by using the context menu of the server list

Me too, what we have to do to use local servers?

fixed with 2.2a

i'm getting an error after updating to 2.2 .

The application caused an unhandled exception:

System.ArgumentException: Font 'MS Reference Sans Serif' does not support style 'Regular'.
at System.Drawing.Font.CreateNativeFont()
at System.Drawing.Font.Initialize(FontFamily family, Single emSize, FontStyle style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte gdiCharSet, Boolean gdiVerticalFont)

at DAoCPortal.MainForm..ctor()
at DAoCPortal.MainForm..ctor(String listurl)
at DAoCPortal.Program.RunForm(String arg)
at DAoCPortal.Program.Main(String[] args)

not sure what all that means, but there you go

cheers.

hmm, what OS are you using?

windows xp. the portal was working before 2.2. i will try reinstalling it. wish me luck

try auto update again - changed the font to a standard font

i already updated. this is after the update

no, i release a auto update with a standard font.

i reinstalled 2.2 and it seems to be working fine. thanks

cheers.

I am running vista basic and i am getting the following problem

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\DAoC Portal\update.changelog.txt' is denied.

at DAoCPortal.Modules.AutoUpdate.UpdateForm.StartPatching()

Any ideas on what to do? It just won't patch

You need to run DAoCPortal under administrator rights @Vista, otherwise it won't be able to update the files it uses

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
