Can we have a consistent game file by making all not "read-only" attribute?

[jianmingyong]

There have been tons of issue once someone download a game through the launcher. It basically crashed once you update the game due to the read-only attribute and quite a number of people have been asking this type of question. ( I think there is a need for this faq soon if people keep on reporting this as a bug... )

Though if you delete the entire game folder, you could download it, once you have new version.... it start to generate some read-only attribute files and making updating through launcher impossible.

[ Additional Info ]
I have been trying to test out the problem with the launcher and decided to test out a file link (http://s.pokemon3d.net/ah104)
I create a program to download this file then extract it into the pokemon folder. It crashes but at least gave me some error behind so I could find out there is a problem with the files inside there.

I have this issue too, as soon as the game downloads the new version, it crashes when it starts to unzip the files.
and every time I set the files to "not-read-only" >.>, their attributes do not change.

are all of the files read only?
the way we have the files stored they are read only til nilllzz fetches them for the update
I guess some dont get remarked properly?
which ones are the issues?

There are quite a number of file that are read-only... Maps, script or even content files also have this.
Too many to list them.

What I noticed is that folders are marked as "Read-only" but the files inside are not (I only checked a couple of random folders and that's what I found there)

Folder won't matter, but the files will. There is some file inside that is read-only so it mark as read-only in the folder.

But I check all the files, nothing is read only, anyways, I just gave myself full permission over the folder and tried to change the read only attribute 1 more time and updated the game, it worked.

I could do a simple test by making my program delete all files in that folder and the left over is the read-only.

the following files in the latest version that is blocking the launcher from updating

and a fresh download has it like that?
I guess nilllzz needs to be more careful to unlock all of the files

Yap a fresh one and I delete all the no "read-only" attribute.

I just checked with the 0.51.1, can you list a few files that are read-only in there? Because I can't locate any.

There are too many to be listed here so they are all compiled into a file here ^^

Did you download these files through the launcher?

hmm... I tried again removing everything and here is the result:

Launcher: Seem clean enough.
Website: Expected read-only files appeared.

Yeah, the launcher is removing any read-only locks from the files. Or at least, it should be.
I implemented a new way to do that for the next version of the launcher, maybe that is working better with files that have been downloaded through the website.
