Version 0.1.5

Yeah I know, I'm working on fixing that :)
Rhys: Bah, must have forgotten to add it. Anyway, INVALID_VERSION is 0x03 (unused packet ID).

Oh yeah, and guys, when I add the new update tonight, please remember to run PDBootstrapper, not the updater! Make a shortcut to the bootstrapper on your desktop and use that to launch the client. That way, your client will always stay up to date and the updater will never overwrite itself (hence the need for the bootstrapper).

I'm using a Macintosh and Parallels with the 64bit version of Windows 7 for all my Sims 1 games and for PD.
I searched the whole registry for the Maxis entry and found it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node
Not only is there the Maxis Folder/Files for The Sims and all of its expansions there is also is a the Sims Online entry
I hope this somehow helps :)

EDIT: I exported the Maxis Entry, saved it on my Desktop, edited it with notepad, removed the Wow6432Node Part and imported it back in my registry. When I open PDBootstrap now it just asks if i want to back up or not, no error message with No Maxis product found anymore! Yay! :D

ok I did this and I no longer have the maxis error, if I back up, it errors, if not, I get to the login screen. I changed the ip address, and got the error .. your client was not up to date.

There is a method in Game1.cs which is overwriting the version with the one in /version. Remove this!

Game1.cs said:
StreamReader SReader = new StreamReader(File.OpenRead(GlobalSettings.Default.StartupPath + "version"));
GlobalSettings.Default.ClientVersion = SReader.ReadLine().Trim();
SReader.Close();
Click to expand...

Removing this makes the version bytes sent equal 0, 1, 6, 0 like they should (but they're still being rejected)

Also instead of splitting with a char array like:

".".toCharArray();

You can signify that the value is a character by using single quotes:

'.'

EDIT 500:

Also, change all instances of:

Code: 
lbl.Caption = "Version 1.1097.1.0";

to

Code: 
lbl.Caption = "Version "+GlobalSettings.Default.ClientVersion;

This will display the real version at the bottom left.
 
We're at the same place, Rhys! ;)
Thanks for reminding me to update the label though!

Wonder why the LoginServer is converting the last 0 to 255 o_O

Sigh, I made it work. I was not writing the correct length of the packet. Only reason it had been working so far was because I was not using those bytes server side...

Yep, it works with +5 instead of 4.

btw, didn't the old city renderer look better than this? (eg not all tiles were flat)

Never mind what I said earlier about the warning! :D
The reason you guys are getting the "EA.com is temporarily unavailable" is because your "Project Dollhouse.exe.config" file is incorrectly configured.
If you want to, you can open it in Notepad and change the Login IP from 127.0.0.1 to 173.248.136.133.
Then when you try to login, your client will say that it is out of date (I don't know why this is happening yet).
I'll release a new client version today that will have a new "Project Dollhouse.exe.config" file.
It will be released through the updater only.

I might have to tweak the updater though for the people who can't get it to work...
But for those people who want to know if their client is up to date (without going through the above), they can open "Client.manifest" in the TSOClient folder and see if it begins with "0.1.6". If it does, then your client is up to date.

Offredo95: You're right, it's the same for all users.

My version is 0.1.7 so updater didn't work.
 
liinor, that's cos I just released that version!
You should be able to log in now, if the updater didn't crash or anything.

Everyone else: Run the bootstrapper, update, and now you should be able to log in! The first time the client starts up it might say your version is out of date (not sure why o_O), but if you start the bootstrapper again it should work.
 
when I created an account and I finished creating my Sim and I click Finish to go to the city of server, it does not load beyond of 25% so I stuck on it.

this is what I get now :) ....(after minimizing and bringing back)

Edit by Afr0: Removed your image - city view hasn't been updated yet. I intend to integrat Rhy's city renderer soon, but I still need to work out some kinks with the updater...

Edit by Rain: ok ... gotcha! :)
 
Hmm thats strange... I downloaded the new update (0.1.7) with PDBootstrap, everything worked fine but the client still gave me the Error "Client is not up to date" so I checked the PDClient.exe.config file edited the IP because it was the old one and saved it. Launching the Client against just gave me the Error "EA.com is unavailable" so I removed the PDClient.exe.config file, launched PDBootstrap again and hoped it would download an install the correct PDClient.exe.config but it didn't so basically I have no PDClient.exe.config file but I can still log in to the server :?: :lol:

I'm getting stuck on Downloading:https//dl.dropboxcontent.com/u/257809956/KISS.net.dll
It's been about 45 min or so.
to add to this, when I go to "X" out of it, nothing happens.. Task manager is needed to close it out.

EDIT:
after closing it out from task manager, I ran it again and said I was fully up to date. Attempted to log in, says servers are down.

Did you get the "No Maxis products were found on your system" error? This seems to be an issue on some (!) 64 bit systems that hasn't been fixed yet. See the previous posts to figure out how to fix it.

Tirea: I have no idea... the important thing is you can login :)
 
Now im also recieving the "your client was not up to date" error, but i confirmed the correct ip in the exe.config and the correct version in the client.manifest, what can i do now???

I had the same error so I deleted the PDClient.exe.config and that let me log in to the server... not sure why but it worked for me :D
