Just realised that I didn't thank you for persisting with the rewrite, MaGog is a valuable addition to our arsenal of enhancing our experience on GOG.

Cheers!!

Much appreciated.

I am aiming for a release of the "new" MaGog (no new features, just the ability to handle (and stomach) the new GOG formats, and the restoration of the bi-daily database updates) on Sunday, life permitting.

XD, amen.


And WOW, so soon already, cheers again!

Life... Always getting in the way!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 3.0.0 has been released with the following features:

* Rewrote large portions of the code that harvests data from GOG to have it handle the new GOG formats
* Reenabled MaGog's daily database updates

Great, thanks!

How did you solve the regional pricing issue in the end?

Not yet. Just got everything that was there before to work again.
Now to add new features. Long list, including automatically identifying regional pricing.

With Wurzelkraft's help, I believe I know how to do it. Basically all I need to do is to get the GOG catalogue twice, once without cookies (defaults to US-USD) and once with, say, a DE-USD cookie and compare the prices. If they are different, it's regionally-priced. The question remains for how many different countries to I need to do it? GB-USD, RU-USD, DE-USD, AU-USD? I'll experiment and find a reasonable compromise of coverage vs. time. I'll also need to see how to do it in Perl, but I already read about it a bit.

A couple of smaller features planned first, then regional pricing.

Yes. I have analysed his posts and I believe I shall be using 8 codes/zones: AU, BR, DE, GB, PL, RU, UA, US.
I will not be testing at different IP locations, though. MaGog's server is located in Canada.

Cheers. I did not expect MaGog to test different IPs. I suspect GOG's currently not doing anything further.

Thanks for all the hard work.

From what I hear to view prices all you need is a cookie, but to actually buy at the quoted price you need an IP in the specific region.
