Updating Horns/Handles with ARES/Dresser Functionality on Updated Handles Not Working Correctly
(Updated for the changes to ax/software for 0.5.6)
The release of ARES 0.4.1 completed the requirements for compatibility with NS handles. Existing handles will need to be upgraded to match.
To install the Handles 2.4.2 firmware, run the following commands
If, after you update your handles, it still does not allow dresser functionality (usually indicated by it saying Could not find path: #RLV/[]/dresser), perform the following additional steps:
If you have done the above and the dresser finds your folders, but is not behaving as it should, check the items in the "SETTING UP THE DIRECTORY HIERARCHY FOR THE DRESSER" section on this page, namely the item about having a set of category folders above your actual outfit folders, as this is necessary for dresser functionality.
To install the Handles 2.4.2 firmware, run the following commands
Note that some of these commands will require you to have updated your ARES to version 0.5.6+. If you have not yet updated to 0.5.6+, please follow the instructions on the Updating ARES to a new version page to update yourself first.
- Run '@device' and check what device address your handles use. Most use 'handles', some use 'handle', and others use 'horns'. Third-party handles may have more varied names.
- If the address isn't 'handles', run the command: @set DEVICE-NAME <address> where <address> is the address of your handles, e.g. @set DEVICE-NAME horns The command is case-sensitive.
- Download the package from axcentral:0 in Eisa with the command: @software download handles-2.4.2.dpkg
- Install the package with: @do handles-2.4.2.dpkg install
- After installation is complete, you can get rid of the installer with: @parc clean
- If you want to upgrade another handle device, you will need to repeat steps 1-5 each time, as the variable created by the 'set' command is cleaned up during the installation.
Dresser Path Issue
If, after you update your handles, it still does not allow dresser functionality (usually indicated by it saying Could not find path: #RLV/[]/dresser), perform the following additional steps:
- Run @db show env.rlv and check whether it returns a value or 'undefined'.
- If the env.rlv setting is undefined and not ~ARES (or whichever custom RLV folder you may have set), run @db set env.rlv ~ARES
- Make sure your RLV folder setup matches this expected structure: #RLV > ~ARES > dresser > (any dresser folder setup you desire)
- Detach and reattach your handles/horns.
- Confirm dresser functionality works as intended.
Note: You can replace ~ARES in steps 2 and 4 with any folder within your RLV folder you desire, as long as you set the env.rlv variable appropriately and have the folder structure correct. ~ARES is just the default path ARES should be set up to look for.
Dresser Folder Issues
If you have done the above and the dresser finds your folders, but is not behaving as it should, check the items in the "SETTING UP THE DIRECTORY HIERARCHY FOR THE DRESSER" section on this page, namely the item about having a set of category folders above your actual outfit folders, as this is necessary for dresser functionality.
