ZiggaWatch

ZiggaWatch is my external java program that runs along side ZiggaDKP ( http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/zdkp.aspx ) to better support it. ZiggaWatch's sole purpose is to run in the background of your system and periodicaly checks for updates (new file modified time) to your ZiggaDKP.lua savefile. When it finds an update, it uploads the new version to the server. This is not spyware/malware, and I include and prefer you check the java source code and compile for yourself. This program requires java runtime enviroment which can be picked up at java.com.

Currently the program is very simple. Start it up before you start wow (if you don't your /uireload or closing of wow will overwrite the downloaded file and thus never be loaded or updated), use with ZiggaDKP and when you have finished with dkp purchasing and dispersing, just simple reload your ui, this will update your dkp save file and on the programs next check cycle (which you can set), it will upload the file to your ftp webserver.

There is some setup involved, all of it is done within the config.properties file. The setup is explained there (putting your user/pass/ftp-addy ... etc).

Currently the program is very simple (I am more worried about getting the core lua mod working perfectly before having this program hammered out and user friendly), right now it has no real end, so you must end task it. A menu for options like quit program, force server update, or download from server now, and setup for the config file through the program instead of a text editor is in the works, however is not a priority at this point.
