Hello,
it would be helpful if people beta tested my installer, and gave feedback, thank you. (does not matter if you already have latest SoFplus installed, it will detect it and not replace).
Gamespy is dieing soon, and we all need to install SoFplus to access the new megalag server list in game. To make SoFplus accessible and EASY for everyone (specifically the people who are not good with computers, and don't know how to extract a zip file) , I've created an all-in-one SoFplus, installer / updater.
What do i do?
You run the exe file (from anywhere), and it asks you to run SoF.exe (if its not started already), it will then detect it in the process list, and get the sof1 directory from it. done
What does it do?
-installs latest sofplus
-adds a line to your autoexec (or creates a new one) to set the megalag master server
-'de-CE-ify' checks pak0 / pak2, if you have CEv5.1 installed, it will patch them to original (which will remove the annoying spam message)
-if you have 'bind m menu_spm' (comes with community edition, its wrong) it will fix and change it to 'bind m menu spm'
-checks if you have widescreen menus installed and deletes them for you (they are not needed with the new SoFplus)
-asks if you want to install AutoUpdate feature
whats the autoupdate feature?
-replaces your SoF.exe with the updater.
-Will check for updates once every 24+ hours to decrease loading times
-Starts SoF.exe, taking you directly to the server list, without seeing the intro (if you don't supply any arguments with a shotcut/batfile)
Can i uninstall the autoupdate feature?
-yes, run the Uninstall bat file
Do shortcuts to SoF.exe still work? +connect ip? MHPSof starter?
-shortcuts work when auto update has been installed
-i have not tested mhp sof starter with it, but i see no reason why it wouldn't work
Security , is it safe?
-open source, can be confirmed by a third party that its safe, just ask
-comes with my public key to verify that any updates downloaded are signed by me
-md5 values of all files are hard coded, and checked after download to make sure they are what they should be, any mismatch will cause an error.
-https coming soon
Download v6 3.8~MB [Disclaimer - works best with portable editions of SoF, some have issues on windows 7]

Spoiler:
-"WMIC PROCESS get Caption,Commandline,Processid" - returning empty Commandline causing the 'multiple SoF.exe detected error. One person i know has this issue.. now three. [Not fixed in v5]
-possible issues with auto update running bat files which rename the updater exe, while its still in use [Fixed in v5] [Actual fix in v6]
-missing quit() causing infinite error loop after the 'WMIC' error detected [Fixed in v5]
-autoupdate slow (because i delete files after downloading, instead of keeping them when in autoupdate mode) [Fixed in v5 : it will only check for updates once per day, and it wont delete the 'large' files, so quicker when it does check for updates]
-cmd windows popping up not user friendly [50% Fixed in v6]
I will have to search a better method
I adopted this new version, and i played but fuck i had to put all settings again XD but ok i understand it...hope i did ok..but i like the logo CUTE!!! oh and for me just normal like other sof? if i see retarded things i will tell u.
i hope you don't miss the 'menu_spm' and spam on connect, i pay in Likes
