L2J Server

Got inspiration and wrote a tiny, but handy, batch script to download changesets.
How to use: run it, choose to DL either core or datapack changesets, then input the changesets to diff.
Outputs core/datapack_%initial%-%target%.diff
The script automatically checks if you have Subversion installed and if it's not, it notifies you and stops the script.

Change 1: updated the SVN links.
Change 2: added Linux version; added check for Subversion client.
Change 3: fixed a small problem and a typo in the Windows script.

nice tool but diff patch has nothing in it

Then you have put wrong changesets. It doesn't check if a changeset of selected number actually exists on the SVN.

Dude i have tryed everything but there is nothing in the .diff files.
Can you explain a bit more about this please? because this is really helpfull.
Thanks in advance!

if you would have read the forum posts, u saw that the svn path was changed.
Simple change the svn roots in the scripts to:

http://svn.l2jserver.com/trunk/L2J_Server
http://svn.l2jdp.com/trunk/L2J_DataPack

I have changed the links, but still the same problem.
Tryed different numbers, no one works, always nothing in the diff patch.
Or this should just create the .diff files with named changeset?

Any other way to get the .diff patch for every Changesets ?

What exact steps are you doing? You should be doing it like this:
1) you run the program
2) you choose core/dp (for example 1 - core)
3) you input initial changeset (for example 4495)
4) you input target changeset (for example 4496)
That's it, you wait until it creates a file named "core_4495-4496.diff" in the same folder as the program.
As I already mentioned - DON'T input invalid/nonexistent changesets, there will be no output then.

Also, the tool already checks for it, but the target changeset must be higher than initial, not the same or lower. I don't think I should explain why.

What do you mean by "every" changeset?

He wrote me a pm..
it seems he forgot to install a svn client.
without it your tool isn' t working ofc.

svn diff commands refer a command that calls the program to run setted in c:/documment and settings/your_user_name/application data/subverion/config @: if you have not the programn nor the var properly setted, it wont work.

Well, I had thought about that, but didn't think he would actually hope it to just work...
Not directly related to my tool though.

Thx jurchiks for your tool, it is very helpful. Its good to see people share, even if it is a simple tool.

Updated first post, added Linux version of the same thing, a bit more advanced than Windows though (checks if changesets have numeric values to avoid creating empty files with letters instead of changesets), couldn't find the equivalent for Windows (yet) :/
If someone knows how to do it, let me know.
Also added check for Subversion presence (for reasons seen in the posts above) and automatic choosing of trunk folder name (since it changed recently).

Edit: there is only one known bug - if the initial changeset is before the trunk rename, and target - after, the diff will be empty. You have to make one diff before and one - after rename, can't do it any other way.

There are some problems with my Win7:

'else' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Just need change a 53 and 54 lines from: to:

You can also remove the else since the variable `choice` can only have one value. I simply didn't want to check it twice, but if it's a problem I'll remove it, doesn't break the script.
Edit: there was also a typo, forgot the matching '%' symbol on the other side of the variable. First post updated.
