Maximus 1.1.1

Community Forums/Showcase/Maximus 1.1.1

Htbaa(Posted 2012) [#1]

Yesterday I've released Maximus 1.1.1. Maximus is a BlitzMax module manager. With Maximus it’s possible to easily install and update BlitzMax modules which are provided by 3rd party module developers.

Version 1.1.1 improves the usability for the GUI users. If maximus-gui can’t find your BMXPATH it will now present you with a directory dialog in which you can select your BlitzMax installation directory. Another improvement is in communicating back to the user when a certain action has finished.

Binaries for both Windows and Linux are available from maximus.htbaa.com/client as well as an installer for Windows.

Cheers for adding that communication back to the user Htbaa :-)

Kind Regards

Good job, thanks :)

That 'a' should really be in front of the cog...


Htbaa(Posted 2012) [#5]
Blame skn3 :-). But I noticed the website has a transparent overlap.

Never really noticed it in this logo.

I cannot upload my framework modules. Result is always "An unexpected error occured. Perhaps your module is faulty. If this problem keeps showing up then please contact us."


skn3(Posted 2012) [#7]
Hehe whoops! I don't think I have the source files for it anymore either!


Htbaa(Posted 2012) [#8]
I do! It's right there in the maximus-web repository :-).

Awesome, thanks. Will update soon.


Matt Merkulov(Posted 2012) [#11]
My post is ignored?


Htbaa(Posted 2012) [#12]
Sorry Matt, didn't see it. Are you trying to upload a multi-module archive? Could you perhaps send the zip-archive to me so I can investigate?


Matt Merkulov(Posted 2012) [#13]
Download all modules from here and try to upload them yourself. Though, simple modules like audiodrivers.mod uploads correctly.


Htbaa(Posted 2012) [#14]
Thanks. It reports to me that it can't find some files, whilst they do exist. Will look into it.

Update: I've fixed it in the development version (https://github.com/maximos/maximus-web/issues/115). It's not online yet though, because I want to do a few more things for the next release of the website. Will be up soon though.

Update2: Fix is online. Could you try uploading your modules again?
Full changelog of Maximus-web 1.2.0. On of the new features is a module search. I've also added ReCAPTCHA to get rid of the bot accounts.

It's now uploading right, thanks.


Htbaa(Posted 2012) [#16]
Great. PS: Why not add the Subversion repo to the SCM management screen? That way the development versions will always be automatically updated.


Matt Merkulov(Posted 2012) [#17]
I tried it at first, but it didn't work somewhy. Which parameters I should use for auto-importing frmwork.mod if trunk address is http://dwlab.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ?


Htbaa(Posted 2012) [#18]
It would probably be best if you'd added a SCM Configuration with the trunk address. Then do an auto-discovery to match the existing modules. Or you could update each module manually by setting the SCM configuration for it.

Maximus will be able to figure out the right directory, so providing trunk should be sufficient.
