DreamDownload does not work.
slothbox:~# DreamDownload byond://SilkGames.Proelium2##version=43 Connecting to byond://SilkGames.Proelium2##version=43 Download of Proelium II in progress... Download finished. slothbox:~# ls unixbench-4.1.0-wht-2 slothbox:~# find . -name "*proelium*" slothbox:~# find / -name "*proelium*" slothbox:~# find . -name "*izard*" slothbox:~# ls ./.byond/ cache/ cfg/ lib/ slothbox:~# ls ./.byond/ cache cfg lib slothbox:~#
As you can see, despite a "Download finished." message, not only was the game not downloaded, but there isn't even a MyHub in the ~/.byond/ directory. No file with the name proelium or [Silk W]izard exists.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Try to use DreamDownload
2. Fail
Expected Results:
The game should be downloaded, or at the least give an error message.
Actual Results:
The game is not downloaded, but seems to be 'successful'.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
Seems to happen a lot.
In other games?
Yes, for instance, Castle doesn't download either. I haven't tried other hubs, but I've had this problem on various Linux machines where the game does not download, or does not overwrite the old game, etc.
On other computers?
Yes.
When does the problem NOT occur?
I can't even tell you, it seems random sometimes.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Workarounds:
Download the file on Windows, open up C:\Wherever\the\heck\its\stored\on\windows\probably\about\th is\deep\though\MyHub\Author\Game, then zip the files, open an FTP client, upload them, unzip them, and run them.
