Introducing KoLmafia Daily Downloader

[wrldwzrd89]

Do not use this tool anymore. It is unmaintained and unsupported!

An installer or instructions? I downloaded and extracted it, but I can't seem to find an executable. TIA

 

[wrldwzrd89]

You're not supposed to extract the JAR file - that IS the primary executable. In the event double-clicking it doesn't launch the JRE, you can manually fix your file associations, use a Windows-only program called "jarfix" that does this for you, or use the command line "java" program to get it going.

That page has a link to the page where there's executable to download: HERE.

Thank you. Somehow I ended up with the source code zip or something. It's working now.

Thank you. Somehow I ended up with the source code zip or something. It's working now.

Jar files are in zip format, so sometimes that causes confusion.

I get this error when I try to run.

Could not find the main class: com.puttysoftware.dailydownloader.DailyDownloader. Program will exit.

Since no one else has replied this can be caused by a corrupt jar file, or more likely, a problem with the jar file association in Windows. You could Google for any number of fixes for the association.

 

[dangerpin]

Jar files are associated correctly, I use the jar version of mafia daily.

OK. Doesn't sound like anything I am going to be able to help with although I would confirm the integrity of the jar file, just in case.

I get this error when I try to run.

That might be caused by running something earlier than Java SE 7, which is what DailyDownloader is compiled with. I've seen that error before, and the most common cause is your Java not understanding manifest entries in the JAR file.

 

[dangerpin]

Ok, that makes sense. I moved back to Java 6 because of slowness issues I had. Thank you for pondering it!

Latest version is getting a 403 error on builds.kolmafia.us, but that opens fine in my browser.

 

[wrldwzrd89]

Yes, I am getting the same error on my end. I suspect a security change here is the cause.

 

[fewyn]

Ah yeah that might be my fault, I've setup Cloudflare for the site and it blocks "suspicious" traffic which I guess is blocking the Downloader. Let me see if I can turn down the security or something for that part of the site.

 

[fewyn]

Should be fixed for now, I turned off Cloudflare for that domain.

I've been using the downloaders for a long time, but recently the Changelog has not been updating past 15496. I never see any of the new updates though I'm fairly certain that it is the latest version of Mafia. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

[Landamus]

Thanks, didn't know about that issue.

Just downloaded the daily build (.exe). When I try to run most of the scripts, they say I have r0. "The latest example: zlib.ash' requires revision r15467 of kolmafia or higher (current: r0). Up-to-date builds can be found at http://builds.kolmafia.us/."

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
