Valamyr Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Im just curious... spent the last couple days rebuilding an install, and over the course of that, I downloaded about a dozen new BOSS lists. Is this some sort of automated process, or do we really have amazing BOSS Gremlins pushing six new lists a day?! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootsrat Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I don't understand your question. BOSS is an automated tool. It does automatically sort your load order. It does automatically download a new Masterlist each time it's released and it does not download it when your Masterlist is up to date. What is your question, exactly?

Ganda Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 He was asking is the revisions to the masterlist were automated (added or changed new mods automatically) or if they had gremlins working for the BOSS team xD relax roots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsrat Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 No, I am not antagonising - I honestly did not understand the question :D But hey, it's Monday morning here and I'm at work trying to get back on track after a heavy weekend... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormheart Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 If you have the box checked to update the master list every time you sort your mods, it will check for and download a new version if one exists. The lists are updated by people (was going to say humans but I can't be sure they all are) so some times there are quite a few updates if the maintainers have enough spare time to get a bunch of mods added or not. They do an incredible job. :) I believe Wrinkly posted that he plans to update BOSS so that it actually uses Subversion to download the changes. By that I mean it will only download the difference. This would mean much faster\smaller downloads each time as the list is getting quite large. This will be even more important if they plan to add more translations. Anyways, hopefully the answer you were looking for is in this post, along with More Information Than You Require. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valamyr Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah, thank you Wormheart. I guess I knew the updates had to be man-made, but I'm still amazed at how often they come out. ( I was obviously aware its an automated tool, but very few automated tools get updated so often! ) Kudos to the the great people keeping BOSS up to date :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
