I'm pretty sure I set this up correctly but I'm getting a download error instantly upon trying to update my game. It gets as far as closing the game window and opening PokeUpdater.exe, and then throws the "An error has occurred while downloading the new version." error.

edit: Turns out it's an issue with Google Drive. Uploading the file to Mediafire worked.

Alright I have a different problem. Someone trying to play my game is receiving an "undefined method 'strip' for nil:Nil Class" no method error when attempting to launch my game. I can't replicate the issue and no one else I'm aware of has this issue. Any ideas?

dpertierra updated PokéUpdater with a new update entry:

PokéUpdater

The new 2.0.2 release includes a revamped UI, now it does not require the pastebin to only have the updater data, it can have any data as long as it has the GAME_VERSION and DOWNLOAD_URL lines, you can also now have multiple DOWNLOAD_URL lines with different download hosts and the user will be able to choose which one to use.

Could it download from a Github release?

Beyond this, when downloading, I got an error that ".DS_Store" already exists, so it can't be replaced.

If you have a multiple saves script that saves to a folder in the game directory, it will delete your saves.

When finishing, its only moving some files to the main folder, deleting what is already there, and some files in temp will just disappear, so the game no longer works.

Regarding the .DS_Store files, I will see if I'm ignoring all dot files or only git ones, the moving files should be improved with the latest release.

Regarding downloads from github is something that I have to look into but I haven't yet
