Preview: VMXSync 2.0 beta

VMXSync 2.042 beta Evo 5

Download & try me: http://vortex-motorsports.de/downloads/vmxsync/VMXSync2042BetaEvo5.rar

The provided test client overcomes a major problem WinSCP could not provide as required: A sync based on an optional checksum control mechanism. As a second highlight the new sync implements extended logging for major operations and errors along with a log file history.

### HOW TO TEST ###
- Create a NEW folder on your system e.g.: C:\Games\rFactor1 VMXSync Test.
- Download the test client into the new created local folder.
- Extract the test client into the new created local folder.
- Start the test client by executing the local file VMXSync.exe.
- Delete and/or change and/or add files and/or folders after the initial sync is completed, to see/check how the sync behaves.

### CHANGES IN 2.035 ###
Added parameter <CompareMode>DTFS</CompareMode> to the remote configuration file.
Mode how the decision is made whether a file is synced/updated or not.
Default: DTFS
Valid values: DTFS (= Compared by Date Time & File Size - Faster but less secure), HASH (= Compared by Checksum - slower but more secure)

### CHANGES IN 2.042 ###
Remote control file VMXSync.files has been changed from WINDOWS-1252 encoding to UTF-8 encoding.
Fixed XML encoding for '&' to '&amp;' in remote control file VMXSync.files.
modified= date layout ("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") of Remote control file VMXSync.files has been changed to meet DateTime format for different cultures.

### Things that haven't changed ###
- Full control over your sync-environment.
- Server-Part: A FTP-Server of your choice.
- Free of charge.

... more to come soon.

Cheers
Frank

PS: The test client is based on a rFactor1 1.255F Lite version from rfactorcentral.com.

Note: If you are interested in a fully operational client/server package, please sent me a PM or reply to this thread.

 

Thanks again to Frank for the support! Works really well and is a nice alternative for those who are fed-up with ISI's mod-manager.

 

VMXSync 2.042 beta Evo 5 has been released.

See first post for download link.

Thanx Daniel for keeping me updated!

 

what does this do ?

 

... it keeps your local instance in sync with the one your league- and/or event-hoster provides.

 

thx

 

Hi Frank is this something that could be used for our league server ?

 

Hi Dany,

it could, but right now original rF2 content is pretty much static. On the other hand if you are running already "a lot of" extra content presented by some rF2-Modding-Groups it might do the trick for you guys ...

Cheers
Frank
