Updating the bot

[ChrisT]

Hi,

It's been awhile since i've had to update the bot and my memory is failing me. I'm going from 5.4.5 to 5.5.4. Because the versions are drasticly different do i only need to replace the .jar file?
I did have a look at the readme files but couldn't spot anything.

Many Thanks

In most cases you can just replace the JTS3ServerMod.jar file while the bot process is stopped. If you start the bot the first time after replacing the JTS3ServerMod.jar file with the -updateconfig argument, you also get an updated config file.

But as always: Do a backup of your bot configuration first.

Brilliant thank you Stefan

Sorry Stefan, even though i've done this multiple times before my brain is failing me .

Downloaded the Hosting Edition of JTS3ServerMod. (Backed up where appropriate)
Webinterface, copied over the files. Went to the dashboard and follow the upgrade links. All good working fine.
The bot. Initally (from post above) replaced the .jar file. But still got:

New JTS3ServerMod version is available!
Current installed version: 5.4.5 Hosting Edition (08.03.2015) [5405]
Latest final version: 5.5.4 Hosting Edition (11.07.2015) [5504] - Download

So i decided to replace it all, as well why not can't hurt. Restarted the bot via the webinterface, but i'm still getting the message from the bot saying a newer version is available...what step have i missed here.

The Bot process has to be stopped while you are replacing the JTS3ServerMod.jar.
