Renaming with llRemoteLoadScriptPin

I have partially written an auto updater just for me personally, but I am having some problems with scripts names.

I have an update script which get the name of every script inside and sends an email asking for an update, etc etc, that part all work fine, the problem is that I am checking for new versions by the script name...ie "AppleVST-Server 0.5". This means that when the update happens, I am left with 2 scripts of differing versions.

Is there some reliable way to remove the old script after the update...considering i may have up to 10 scripts in an object.

thanks

AFAIK, script renaming is not supported (as LL doesn't like us messing with the dataserver), but you could have in the post-script transfer section a call to llRemoveInventory(old_script_name)

You could overwrite it with new version of script that does only one thing -- removes itself from inventory? ^^;

The way I do it is to clean up first .


I send a cleaner script which loads itself - deletes all scripts except itself,

Then it requests the new scripts ( via email )

It sits and monitors until all the scripts are there then removes itself.

Or if the scripts do not arrive in a certain time it tries the whole thing again.

If after three tries it still fails it posts an im to the owner saying something has failed contact support etc etc

And it posts an email to a support email teling me object, revision, person, etc.

Not perfect , but so far ( crosses fingers ) I have never received a 3 times failure email

Sadly, no - ig you try to remote-load a script where one with the same name already exists, it fails.

Never had it happen in my experience. Wiki seems to be correct here when it states remote uploading script with name that already exists overwrites the present script without as much as a warning o.O;

Great that means I had some other stupid error in my code when I tried this....

..... have to go back and play with it again
