SP FTP Site

[Spearthrower]

((Note to HGG moderators just in case! This is FSS's own FTP site, so nothing illegal is being discussed or suggested in this thread - it's just that FSS hasn't seen fit to publicise the fact that SPers can d/l patches without the launcher.... not surprising considering their lack of information about ALL things SP))




WARNING!

If you don't know what a FTP site is, or if you don't understand anything about the files... or if you are in *anyway* unsure about this thread.... do not attempt to download anything.

If anyone does decide to download stuff from there - always back up first!

Please pay very very close attention to follow these instructions exactly.

If you make a mistake, you will immediately know about it as you will either not have a menu in game, or all the text in game will be wrong.

If you have either of these problems, please be aware that it is your fault as this process has been confirmed by multiple people.


Finally, I take no props for this - the needed files were researched by others, I merely initially copied them to make people aware, then updated them with the newer patch numbers.

Good luck! :)

what exactly is inside this folder?--->paksku_ea_na_europe/
paksku_ea_germany_censor/---> i think this is for the censored version..the german one..

[Spearthrower]

Yeah - the zombies are actually robot zombies and the blood is just wierd..... also, no chunks of flesh fly off!

Really pointless restrictions on artistic freedom!

[c0nr03]

maybe we can ask someone to make an installer for the SP updates..ill poke around and see what can be done..the files are all available..but would that violate the EULA of of the game?? :?:

[Spearthrower]

I'm not sure whether it could be deemed a violation as it doesn't modify anything about the files - but whatever the case, it's probably worth waiting for the coming 0.6 patch before doing anything like that.

Also, working out which files are needed is a bit of a bugger, it's got to be said! It took me 2 or 3 days of messing about to get the right ones down!

I had some funny instances where all the text in the game was messed up.... the best example had skill descriptions in my Guardian saying things like:

Shield Bash
Bill Roper

:lol:

[c0nr03]

oh, i forgot patch 0.6 is already coming...its best to wait..thanks..
actually patched my single player game without an internet...found a installer for the SP, i forgot where i got it..but i think its not allowed to be discussd here..well, i'll just wait for the coming patch..:D

[dual_barrel]

dear mods, please set this thread as sticky!

[Spearthrower]

Updated with FTP instructions

[dual_barrel]

Thanks man. You're a life saver!

[dual_barrel]

hey Spearthrower, I was wondering why the files,

sp_hellgate_localized000.dat
sp_hellgate_localized000.idx
sp_hellgate_movies000.dat
sp_hellgate_movies000.idx
sp_hellgate_movieshigh000.dat
sp_hellgate_movieshigh000.idx
sp_hellgate_movieslow000.dat
sp_hellgate_movieslow000.idx

have to be taken from

http://downloads.hellgatelondon.com/patches/singleplayer/1.43.25.4015/data/paksku_ea_na_europe/

and not from

http://downloads.hellgatelondon.com/....25.4015/data/

[dual_barrel]

Failed!

Did exactly as you've said above, Spearthrower. Still, I ended up with the wrong texts. I've checked, checked and checked but no solution.

Someone please help me!

[Spearthrower]

Trust me when I say, it definitely works.... endless numbers of people have confirmed it.

What has probably happened is that some of the files didn't actually complete.

Use a download manager to ensure that you get 100% - When I was using Windows Downloader, they kept failing at 40% or so and not actually telling me.

Just so you know, in the above lines the filename "sp_hellgate_localized000.dat" is joined with the url "http://downloads.hellgatelondon.com/patches singleplayer/1.43.25.4015/data/paksku_ea_na_europe/".

It's difficult to see, the first time! Better edit it.

[dual_barrel]

Infinite thanks to you, Spearthrower!

This time I used Internet Download Manager to download each and every file and it worked.

[Spearthrower]

Well spotted dual_barrel!! :o

Edited that now, thanks! ;)

Glad it worked out for you!

It's a real bugger how it times out and doesn't inform you that it only picked up 10% of the needed data!! :(

[Huskie]

Ok, Spearthrower, the next patch is out, and again I'm having a hard time getting it to finish properly downloading. Do you know if it's the same process as updating from retail to 1.43?

I think I saw a few "xxxx001.yyy" files throughout the update process (all those you listed end with 000), so maybe we'll have to download those from the FTP site as well?

If anyone could be as kind as to look for the FTP update process in the official forums, or just ask for it there, I'd appreciate it very much. :-)

[Spearthrower]

I havent had a chance to look into it.... and unfortunately I doubt I will this year. Today's my last day at work, tomorrow's packing and sorting day and then I'm off to the sunny paradise that is London in Winter! ;)

If someone puts together a write up of how to install the new SP patch - they can contact one of the mods to remove this and sticky theirs! :)

Cheers

Filelist.xml shows where the various files need to be placed to update the game manually.

I could put together an more user-friendly description if anyone has difficulty reading the XML file.


Also, I'm editing another note in:

Manual installation from the FTP site may no longer be necessary. Stand-alone patches are now available here: http://www.hellgatelondon.com/support/patches

[kaleng]

Now there is a new directory 1.35.44.4020 at http://downloads.hellgatelondon.com/patches/singleplayer/

I already patch with 1.43.25.4015 one previously, is 1.35.44.4020 the new 0.6 patch for SP? The naming is quite confusing for me since it looks like the version is below the old directory? Has anyone tried this manual patch?

[kaleng]

After checking the filelist.xml, seems like 1.35.44.4020 is 0.6 patch for SP. Will try to patch it manually later.

[c0nr03]

finally!..new patch for sp...:D going to try tonight.. ^_^

[Bruton]

Will you be able to update the retail version with the 0.6 stand-alone patch installer or do I need to install another patch before it?

[DeadPL]

yes new exe have version number 1.35.44.4020

[Spearthrower]

Will you be able to update the retail version with the 0.6 stand-alone patch installer or do I need to install another patch before it?

I'm sure that retail -> 1.35 (0.6 equivalent) will work fine! ;)

Confirmation:
I just downloaded the patch from http://www.hellgatelondon.com/support/patches with Internet Download Manager and patched my game to the newest version 1.35.44.4020.

[Ave]

Nice to see that SP have been shown some love finally, i play MP myself but its good to see the SP patches catching up with us.

[Spearthrower]

Finally got round to updating for the 0.6 (client 1.35) patch.

Enjoy.

[LuTHieR]

Hmmmmm and what about this? http://downloads.hellgatelondon.com/patches/singleplayer/1.43.25.4015/
A new patch in the making?

[Amarra]

That's an old version. It's the SP equivalent of Patch 0.

For some reason the old version has a higher version number than the current version (1.35). We don't know why.

[LuTHieR]

Oh, great.
So I expect next SP patch (if there's one ¬¬) is going to be 0.8.33.2123 or something like that, right?
*sigh*

[Spearthrower]

What it is, it's backwards because they actually haven't reached 0 yet.... they're still running negative. When we get to true version 0.0, we'll have a fully operational game! :D

[Baranor]

Flagship sends the beasts with Wrath. Let him who has understanding reckon the Error of the Beast ... it is a human error, and the error is 1.35.

...


sorry, too good to pass up :D


*waves at spearthrower*

[Spearthrower]

hehe it was a pretty good one too!

Sorry, no bears allowed

*shows Baranor the door*

:p

Well, with the demise of the company, I want to make sure my single-player has everything. My single-player has the patch 1.2 (1.18074.70.4256). Is it up to date? Do I have to download the patch 1.35.44.4020 here at the links given here?

Same question.

[ZombyDog]

Same question.
When you fire up the launcher it should tell you if there is an update available for your SP client and provide a download link. The latest SP build is 1.2 ( 1.18074.70.4256 ). The patches discussed in the OP are earlier versions and likely wont work if you tried to patch. Just to clarify for you, unfortunately the SP client is based off an earlier version the MP client ( that is 1.2, SP was a lower priority ) and when you see that 1.35, its not a reference to a SP version of the current live MP client.

[sataricon]

hmm too bad...because there is alot...& i mean alot of stuff missing...
Does any one have a trainer that can transfer items betwen my SP chaters?
i've searched but coudn't find one.
