Titan Icon installer for Windows: Tequila!

(1/46) > >>

Leandro:
Since Manga posted Island Rum, we can't just let Windows users have to manually download files and configure Icon. So here's a new tool that will download all the Issue 24 files, the latest version of Titan Icon, and will automatically update them if needed:

Download: http://patch.savecoh.com/tequila.exe
Source code: https://github.com/leandrotlz/Tequila

Note that this wasn't exactly tested a lot, so please post any bugs you run into. Improvements to the source code are greatly appreciated, if you can follow what it's doing! It shares the same manifest.xml file as Island Rum; in fact, they both pull data from the same place. Tequila just ignores the Mac-specific files.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET A MANIFEST ERROR

The huge number of downloads for the Paragon Chat launch have killed the server that contained the manifest file. You will need to manually point Tequila to the new Manifest location if you are getting this error.

- Click Options.
- In the empty line under "Manifests", enter http://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml
***** IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN EMPTY LINE UNDER MANIFESTS, your Tequila is out of date. Download a fresh copy from the above link! *****
- Click Add; the new manifest should appear at the bottom. Make sure it's selected by clicking on it.
- Click OK.
- Close Tequila and start it again.

That will point your Tequila install to the latest version.

USAGE

1) Download Tequila in a folder that you have write permissions to. Unless you have disabled UAC (and if you don't know what that means, you haven't) put it on a folder under My Documents or Application Data. It will save you many headaches. Don't use a folder under Program Files unless you know exactly what you're doing.

2) Optional: if this folder already has a COH installation, Tequila will only download the files that need updating, and not the whole game. So, if you have an Issue 24 install, move all the files into the same folder as Tequila (cityofheroes.exe should be in the same folder as Tequila). An Issue 23 install will need updating, but some of the files might still be good, so it doesn't hurt to try.

3) Run Tequila. If you get an error about .NET distributables, download the .NET 3.5 runtime from Microsoft's website and then launch Tequila again.

4) No errors? You should be at a folder selection window. That's where Tequila will download the game files and Icon; by default, it will be whatever you download it to. You can change it here if you want, just make sure the folder you pick is not covered by UAC (and again, if you don't know what that means, any empty folder under My Documents will do).

5) Tequila will download the same file manifest as Island Rum and will start downloading files. You can close it anytime if you want to continue later; you will be downloading several gigabytes, unless you copied an old Issue 24 install.

6) Once Tequila is done, you'll be seeing a screen much like this one:



7) Hit the big "Play" button to launch Icon; the "Screenshots" button will open the Screenshots folder; the Options folder will let you add command line options or re-validate that the downloaded files are good.

8) Tequila will make a shortcut icon in your desktop. Double clicking it will launch Tequila, which will look for updates. If you don't care about keeping Icon updated with Tequila, you can remove that shortcut and just launch icon.exe directly.
