Tool Others Game Manager 2.17.12.7

[CuddleBear]

Don't know if this is a bug or not. The "completed" tag doesn't always work. For example when I tag completed "Lucky Mark" isn't displayed. Can someone check if it works for them or if its only me?

Yeah the states itself of the game isnt handled as a different tag in the UI.
Also it was missing Completed and completed as tags here too, didnt have issues adding it though.

But i do think the Client should do something special with those status tags aswell as engine and the other things F95 does display for us in a different way.

EDIT: edited my last post with "EDIT 2", did it there to keep it about the UI.

Must report another bug, not sure if this is cause my hardware is dying or not but:
Screenshots does not load on the detailed page on the first load at all, i first have to load the detailed page once then exit out and load it again for the images to load.
Also the hover for previews on the gallery view only works on the first image.

I can confirm the first one. The second one I don't understand what you mean.

With the gallery view? The normal queries?
Will you can hover your mouse over a thumbnail to let it rotate between images of the title, before you load the detailed page it will not load more than a single additional image just like the detailed page doesnt load the images.
All images load correctly after opening the detailed page as a whole.

Oh that. I tried it now. I can only get that to work on the games that I own. If I go to the browse tab it doesn't work even if I first open the detailed page.

Don't think it pre-caches the images unless you own the game so it doesnt stress the server for image requests for every title out there. Makes sense that atleast, But opening the detailed page should trigger a download of the images for them to be used again on the gallery view.

Also it seems the loaded images is handled differently when you have already opened the detailed page at some point since the last game update of that title.
Having it opened once seems to fix it for the title till it gets a new update or whatever the bug is happens.

This is what it SEEMS like though and might not be the case. But things do stay saved for some time if you have opened the detailed page once on the title. Even after restart of the client and reboot of the machine.

The app is crashing when I try to add tags in the table tab.

I'm also having this error when I add the Ren'Py tag in the "browse F95" tab:

And for some reason it's hanging up a lot when I execute the app or try to load anything, anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Title out of date on metadata server:

There is a problem with tags : when a new one is added on F95 without updating the version my database don't get the information. So I must think of a way to check for updates but I don't know when.
Prefixes are used as tags, do you think I should use them differently has it is done here?
for the images not loaded have you checked the "always load images" in the install tab of the settings window?

 

[CuddleBear]

Can't you just follow the rss and check for updates every 15min or something?
https://f95zone.to/new_latest.php?cmd=rss&cat=games

Force updates on those RSS events and only update the metadata site (and the clients) when there is a change.
It does contain the last 30 updates after all. Should be enough, heck 15min timer might be too fast but atleast it will keep up.


EDIT: totally miss understood the issue, hmmm well thats too bad about the version updates.

The "always load images" option is not there at all on any page or tab though.

As for prefixes, i am guessing you mean the prefixes of the game threads which contain the game engine, type of game, version and completed/hold state and such? If so then i don't believe its tags is in full use atm in the client. Time after time i see titles that has a completed state on the thread but is not tagged so in the client.
At a minimum it should have the tags added. Building on that at a later point with UI elements makes sense.

That's what I'm doing, but I'm not sure that adding a tag or a prefix to a game is considered as an update.

So I should check tags from time to time. But I don't know how to do it, and when to do it. I'll think about it.

I am guessing the RSS feed does not update with tag changes or all changes on the OP?
If it does then that's good IMO, just update it at that point no matter what and use a flag to indicate to the client that there is a version change. That way you can split up whats just new metadata and whats a new version.

Both should be updated on the client side on title updates but only version changes should be pushed in the new releases popup. To build on that with the pupup window, yoou could enable people to also have selected tags to show aswell (like completed for example)

But splitting whats just metadata updates and whats an actual release should be done in anycase imo.

While im on the update popup, it could use a few additional options: Like open all threads in the default browser, being able too filter for tags aswell as being able to filter for owned only. (personally wouldnt use this, but i think many would).

Still trying to figure out how to make it scan my directory for the games I own.. or do I have to enter everything manually on installing the Gamelist?

I have done a thing to do that but it didn't worked fine, so I removed it. I can add it back but it will be as buggy as it was before.

 

[Network 34 Games]

thanks for the info. I had figured it was just me being a derp lol

 

[CuddleBear]

Yeah, it was a feature that was in the earlier versions but it mixed up titles and versions too much that i complained about it

Still want it, but not as broken....
The workflow now is to "install" a game into the client, allowing it to move it to your set install path and scheme while adding it as installed on the client. That is the fastest way atm to add something to the client, but its only one game/title at a time sadly.

Would require you to search up the title in the client UI and right click it to install.
Would tell you to have a scheme like `\creator\title\version\` to insure that each version installed is always in its own folder for maximum control. Though there is no real harm in doing `\creator\title\` i guess as most allow for overwrites.... cant do that when a title has multiple versions or chapters though, Like Dating My Daughter for example as you have in your banner.

i have tried clicking the install icon on games that i know are still only zip files on my directory and it doesn't seem to do anything. I figured it was just me getting it wrong

 

[CuddleBear]

Would be careful with zips. Its suppose to work and extract it well. But sadly my experience with it in-client has not been the best. Been missing files after extraction and such, and with deletion working around the bin, it will be a pain to get it back.

Best to extract outside of the client for now IMO.

But clicking the install feature specifically should open up a window telling you what is the newest version and prefill that.
You confirm whatever version it is, if that is what you are installing and it will open a browse window for you to pick the exe or zip or whatever.
Everything else should be pretty automatic from that point.

Since you say nothing is happening, did you fill out the paths in your options at all?
Default install path, default source path and so on?

 

[Network 34 Games]

now that i am not sure on at all. I set the path to the folder where all my games are stored and that's all. i have clicked and got the latest version number but there is nothing after that. it doesnt take me anywhere.

 

[CuddleBear]

Did you click the directory / archive button?
