FPOINTS.EXE
DESRCIPTION:
FPOINTS.EXE is another simply little exe that plays an important role in
the FPS, it's use is NOT optional! You must use this EXE for your users
to receive upload credits at the time of the upload.
INSTALLATION:
This EXE MUST be installed in your upload processor batch file, normally
PCBTEST.BAT. I use ZIPLAB as my upload checker, so my PCBTEST.BAT file
is quite simple and perfect for showing you how to install FPOINTS.EXE
My PCBTEST.bat:
@ECHO OFF
IF %2 == UPLOAD FPOINTS C:\PCB\PPL\FPS %1
C:\PCB\ZIPLAB\ZLAB.EXE %1 C:\PCB C:\PCB\ZIPLAB %2
My line 2 is all we are interested in here:
FPOINTS.EXE expects two command line parameters, the first is the
complete drive:\path that you installed the file point system into,
NOTE: Do not place a trailing backslash on this path (see example above).
The second parameter is the complete drive:\path\filename.ext of the
file just uploaded, luckily PCBoard passes this in the form of the first
parameter, so just leave a space and put %1
To prevent the file point system from granting upload credits to a user
who is simply "testing" a file, you must put IF %2 == UPLOAD infront of
the FPOINTS command. Just trust me on this one, you need this in there!
NOTE: FPOINTS.EXE must be located in the same directory as your PCBTEST!!
Thats it for this one, actually you have just installed UPLOADS.PPE too!
As if the file passes successfully through your upload checker FPOINTS.EXE
will call UPLOADS.PPE for you. Unlike FPOINTS.EXE you do not copy UPLOADS.PPE
to each nodes PCBTEST directory, simply leave it in your FPS subdirectory.
