Brawl+ Windows/Mac/Linux Autoupdater & Installer v5.0: Now with SD, FTPii & Snapshots

Isatis · Sep 2, 2009

I've revived the autoupdater in boredom and added in some requests that were requested back in 3.x. The autoupdater installs a fresh copy of Brawl+ on your SD card, and also backs up your old GCT in case you want to play regular Brawl or Balanced Brawl later. As always, please report bugs, compliments, suggestions, etc here.

What's new?

FTPii support!

That's right! Those that don't have an SD card reader, but do have access to FTPii, can now use the installer with FTPii. Just launch FTPii from the Homebrew Channel (or your favorite exploit), launch the installer, type in the IP of your Wii, and will upload the Brawl+ files straight on your SD card.

Offline support!

Offline installs of Brawl+ are now supported. Download the "offline.zip" from the downloads list below, and extract the "brawlplus" folder to the same directory as updater.exe. The updater will always detect whether or not there's an internet connection.

Brawl+ Without Homebrew!

This will not function until the official is out. Thanks to illinialex24's idea of Brawl+ without Homebrew, we're able to incorporate it into the installer. Of course, you'll need NO stages on the Wii or SD card except for the exploit itself, but it should be straightforward.

Mac/Linux support! (sorta)

This isn't 100% tested (nobody bothered to test the Mac portion), but download "updater.php" and put it anywhere you like. Go into Terminal (or Shell), CD into where updater.php, and type this:

Code:

php updater.php

This should launch the autoupdater in the Terminal/Shell console. It is important to know where your SD card is. For test purposes, if I were to store Brawl+ in my home folder, I would type:

Code:

Path to SD? (type "ftp" for ftpii) /home/bionic/brawlplus

But it's recommended that path would be toward your SD card.

Snapshot support!

You may now choose if you want to install Brawl+ using the regular GCT method, or the Snapshot method.

Now we just have to wait for another nightly

GHNeko · Sep 3, 2009

I'll wait til this supports making snapshots before I spam it all over.

In which directory is the brawl+ snapshot (not 4.1, I mean the nightly) in?

GHNeko · Sep 3, 2009

x:/private/app/wii/RSBE/al

IIRC. <_<

Not local, I mean on the remote server (brawlplus.net)

MK26 · Sep 3, 2009

it's private/wii/app/rsbe/al

And i dont think b+.net even has a snapshot download. But why cant you just...do it yourself? get a gct with fp 3.5.1 and the snapshot loader, and drop fp from the main gct before converting it to a bin with the tweaker?

Mattnumbers · Sep 7, 2009

Bump

This needs to stay on the front page.

SymphonicSage12 · Sep 7, 2009

True dat, matt#

Isatis · Sep 7, 2009

Yeah, I still need Mac/Linux testers <_>

Isatis · Sep 14, 2009

Updated for snapshot support.

Unfortunately, I could only find the 8/13/09 set, so if anyone has the snapshot that has 8/15/09, gimme gimme gimme

Tested on Ubuntu 9.04, It worked perfectly!!!

Isatis · Sep 15, 2009

Out of curiosity, what was the path you wrote in the program?

I don't have a functioning SD card reader so I couldn't tell @_@

But I'm glad it works on Linux, and it should work on a Mac too looks like

Hi, the linux file system mounts the SD card on "/media/disk-#/"

I have one NTFS partition, a USB memory atached and the SD card

/media/disk/ <-NTFS partition
/media/disk-1/ <- USB memory
/media/disk-2/ <- SD card

So I typed "/media/disk-2/" and the program downloaded some files that I had deleted on pourpuse for testing

If someone has his SD card with a name Ex. 'wiisd' you hace to type "/media/wiisd/"

I hope this help you or to someone else

Regards

P.S. You have to have created all the paths on your SD (../private/wii/xyxyxyxyx/)

Dantarion · Sep 15, 2009

Linux users should know the filesystem path to their SD card, its user and distro dependant anyways.

Directory pointer for macs

Also, any way we can make a launcher for it so we don't require common users to use terminal and navigate?

Ah, thanks.

I could try some other things, but since there's no real easy way to just double click and run a PHP script through Mac, it's gonna be a bit complicated.

Isatis · Sep 18, 2009

4.3 fixes some weird glitch where it would make folders instead of files on Windows.

GHNeko · Sep 18, 2009

How does the snapshot method work?

Isatis · Sep 18, 2009

Downloads the Snapshot GCT, the snapshot itself (al_4-2.bin) into "al", and the PAC's into their respective folders.

I can't find the snapshot for 8/15/09, and figuring JCaesar said there'd be a new build out tonight, didn't bother asking for one.

GHNeko · Sep 18, 2009

Ah. So the snapshot is already on the server. kk.

All that's left is to create a homebrew app that can do this, and we'll be set for good.

Isatis · Sep 18, 2009

Find someone who can; the only other person I know is Dantarion, but he has more stuff to attend to.

shanus · Sep 18, 2009

Bionic, can you add a feature to your autoupdater which lets you choose if you run Brawl+ without homebrew or not?

I am also going to place a GCT on the server for 5.0 wherein it has the Disable custom stages code and will name the file NoHomeBrewRSBE01.gct

Isatis · Sep 18, 2009

Definitely, I'm gonna try and make some final mods to the autoupdater and release it by this evening.

Alright, cool. Maybe we'll be updating files at the same time

Sovrcat · Sep 18, 2009

ill be a mac tester.

Isatis · Sep 18, 2009

Updated....again. Final version for reals.

Gardevior · Sep 18, 2009

Does this work with Dentarion's Mod Launcher?

Zolga Owns · Sep 18, 2009

I think this saves to pf so no.

Isatis · Sep 19, 2009

Dantarion was thinking of combining both an autoupdater and the Mod Launcher last time I talked to him?

Anyway...with 5.0 out, time to practice for hackfest!

Red-Blue · Sep 19, 2009

Does Brawl+ v5.0 RC1 support cross-region play? I only see one download, so it's either region-free, or an NTSC only release.

Revven · Sep 19, 2009

NTSC-U only release due to PK & co being too busy with their own lives to port to PAL.

leafbarrett · Sep 19, 2009

o_o It started downloading PAC files... is it going to replace my movesets?

El Raspa · Sep 19, 2009

yes, It will

leafbarrett · Sep 19, 2009

El Raspa said:

Thank god I stopped and backed up what it hadn't downloaded already... I would have lost my OWN moveset.

._. Great... It crashed the game. This is getting stupid.

cookieM0Nster · Sep 19, 2009

OK. I may be asking a stupid question, but what is FTPii and how does it work? From what I gather, by looking at the snapshots of the program, it has to do with sending data to your Wii.

El Raspa · Sep 19, 2009

You have to launch in your wii the homebrew application FTPii, then in your PC run autoupdater with the option of FTPii and then put your wii's IP (ex. 192.168.1.2) and the files downloaded are going to be directly on your SD inserted on your Wii

This is usefull for people who have not SD readers on their PC
