(File) Pidgin xfire - updated gfire_games.xml

[FrozenFox]

Update April 12, 08: The new gfire devs have a new version in (unreleased at the time of this post) beta testing. Please see their new site for the most up to date gfire_games.xml and gfire version. http://edhewitt.co.uk/gfire/ as such, this post (and the section on my site) will no longer be updated.

Hey guys,

For those of you who use the xfire plugin for gaim/pidgin, and noticed the database out of date (people are playing a number instead of a game name), here you go. It's updated up to April 7, 2008.

Attached is a tar file containing an updated gfire_games.xml so that pidgin will correctly display such stuff.

To install:

1) Untar the file. Right click and untar it or put it on your desktop and in the terminal/console/konsole run: tar -xvf ~/Desktop/April-7-08-gfire_games.xml.tar.gz

2) Put it yourself via your favorite file manager/browser in /home/YOURNAME/.purple/ (notice the dot) to replace your current one. Alternatively, after the command in step 1, the command will be one of these two: cp ~/Desktop/gfire_games.xml ~/.purple or cp ~/gfire_games.xml ~/.purple

3) In pidgin, go to account-->xfire-->reload game id list.

If you have problems downloading the file, it is also available http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/gfiregames.html here at my web page.

Update: Xfire released an update a few hours ago (April 7 2008). I've updated the games list accordingly. See the first post for the new file. Due to how often this file is updated, after this post, I will not bump this thread anymore, I will only update it (and it will probably move to the thread graveyard ;D). So please refer back to this post yourself whenever you think your xfire list is out of date, and I may have it updated. If it is not up to date, go ahead and tell me (preferably on aim), and I may work on it.
