RestlessRodent Posted September 16, 2015 Is there a URL (direct or 304) which exists which always points to the latest available Freedoom version, or at least a page that is VERY clean (as in plain text) which points to the location where the file is located. If not, I would request that a http://freedoom.github.io/latest.txt or similar just contain a direct URL to the ZIP as does the page http://freedoom.github.io/download.html. In ReMooD, if a player has no IWADs (none at all) then I would have it so it downloads the latest Freedoom WAD automatically when the game starts. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post

fabian Posted September 17, 2015 chungy said:https://freedoom.github.io/download.json Cool, I didn't even know this page exists! In Debian we have a tool called uscan which uses a debian/watch file and roughly does the following: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/freedoom.git/tree/debian/watch Download the page pointed to by the string in line 3 and search for the regular expression in line 4. The one that sorts highest is your candidate. 0 Share this post Link to post
chungy Posted September 17, 2015 I can grant the JSON is slightly obscure, only discoverable if you look at the web site's Git repository, really. It was a feature requested by Doomseeker iirc. 0 Share this post Link to post
RestlessRodent Posted September 18, 2015 Perhaps it should be added to the Download page under a section "For Source Port and Launcher developers" etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
