cterveen/uz-get

uz-get is a script that deals with searching and retrieving Unreal Tournament packages from redirect servers.

uz-get's Issues

Complicated URL's

Some redirect indexes don't link to the file directly but use something like index.php?file=CTF-Face.unr, this doesn't result in good filenames as uz-get uses everything after the base URL.

E.g. http://tourian.jchost.net/uz/

URL encoding in package names

Some redirect servers return encode URL, e.g. CTF-BloodLust%5d%5b.unr.uz instead of CTF-BloodLust][.unr.uz, these are not seachable now.

A solution would to store the URL encoded and encode the search string while returning a decoded name.

Request: fix package mismatches

Package mismatches can be hard to solve especially if there are multiple. I'd like to add the following option

--fix-mismatch -f
(1) Load the last logfile, find the last connection and make a list of required packages as well as getting the redirect server
(2) For each of the packages check if the right version is installed
(3) If not, remove the old package and install the new one

Slow update

updating the file list from the repositories is very slow, I think replaceing HTML::LinkExtor with HTML::TokeParser might resolve this issue.

Use uIni in search and install

Currently search and install just open the ini-file and split file[0]=url (for it is faster). These should use uIni instead, with the speed problems solved this should be sufficiently fast.

Replace utdep.pl with upkg.pm

The use of utdep.pl is cumbersome, better replace it with upkg.pm

Use ini for options

Settings should be added to the ini. Settings are @utdirs, $pathToUcc and $pathToLog. uz-get should look for uz-get.ini in the default directories (e.g. ~/.loki/ut/System on linux or C:\UnrealTournament\System on Windows) or the directory should be specifed.

Repository array not grouped after update

The order of uz-get.files is:
Repository[0]=...
file[0-X]=repository[0]/...
Repository[1]=...
file[X+1-Y]=repository[1]/...
Repository[2]=...
etc.

I should add a way to order settings in uIni

Check for HTTP errors

Download just assumes that everything goes all-right and brakes otherwise. I should make additional checks to make sure everything goes allright.

Incorporate udecache

udecache is a script that moves downloaded packages from the Cache to their respective filenames and directories. This could be incorporated in uz-get.
