Title: Check for updates feature
Post by: Crimson Wizard on Mon 15/08/2016 22:43:03
I do not remember if this was addressed before, but the AGS Editor's "Check for updates" feature is not working.

This command was expecting to get some information from "http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/updatecheck.php", which page no longer exists.

Is it possible/wanted to revive this? If not we should remove or at least hide this command from the menu.

I think this is a nice feature, but kinda feel it'd be more interesting to figure out some "auto-update" feature instead.
Though no idea how feasible that is?

Could you modify the editor to check the XML file (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=53644.msg636541111#msg636541111) I just implemented?  That would always know the latest release of the editor...

Hmm, good idea, I may look into this after I try out how that XML works.
