SETI Optimised app & SETI Enhanced
Posted: Fri May 05, 2006 11:56 am
It's not fully tested yet, but I have managed to get boinc to switch sucessfully between one of crunch3r's optimised apps and the new enhanced app.
If anyone wants to try this then please do so, But backup your BOINC folder first
Download This. The zip contains a modified app_info.xml and the Windows SETI Enhanced app.
Exit Boinc. Install the optimised Boinc client and SETI app as you normally would if you have already removed it. Extract the above zip file to the BOINC/projects/setiathome folder (just as if you were installing an optimised app).
The info_app.xml file assumes that your optimised seti app is named "setiathome_4.11_windows_intelx86.exe", if it's not you need to either rename the app file (quickest and easiest way) or modify the info_app.xml file and change all instances of setiathome_4.11_windows_intelx86.exe with the name of the application file.
Linux users will have to modify the info_app.xml file to match the filenames of the applications and just copy it to the BOINC/projects/setiathome folder (I have not got the Linux verson of enhanced yet so cannot make a zip file)
Restart Boinc and (hopefully) everything will be up and running again and boinc will switch between apps as and when needed:D
