                                              ~Marsh's Auto Updater tutorial~

Okay as you know,there are 2 tutorials on Marsh's updater. There is Vicious Dead's tutorial and Marsh's tutorial on how to set it up . Vicious's updater is supposed to help clarify it up more but it seems confusing still.So I made this so people can understand how to use it. Okay first you will need Marsh's updater :http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,43808.100.html , download the file on the first post. Then you think your done and you can put in your file directory, well it's more complicated than that . First you go to Data in your folder with your stuff that looks like this http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/Updater/1.jpg . In the first line you need to put your game name. Then on the second line you have  your website but we will get back to that soon .  Then you have the third line that you just leave alone. Then you go to "Current Version"and you have this : http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/Updater/2.jpg . Now before you go changing it to your actual file directory , im ganna stop you right there . You need  a file host to store your files. Not just any ordinary file host, but a file host that supports FTP. Now I don't know what FTP is but you need it. I suggest you get Golden FTP server. Very easy to set up.You put in a file and then it gives you your FTP IP . First you need to download it http://www.goldenftpserver.com/ .After you download and install it, open it and you will see this  http://www.goldenftpserver.com/ (I stole this from the home page XD  ,your will be blank though). First you want to go to add  a file and it gives you a IP. This IP is your server name. Bringing us back to the data file. Copy that IP into the second line(but just put in the IP take out the directory and stuff) . It is your FTP website . Then you go back to  the Current version file, first you need to go to Golden FTP server .Go to add and put in your item from your client folders. So lets say you have "Tiles0.bmp" . where you have a file directory . Put in your item and it will automatically add to the Updater. Then you save "Current Version" file and close it. Go to Auto Updater and it will run all the updates in the current version file.And there ya go! I hope this works.

Anyway, I've read through it. FTP = File Transfer Protocol.

The tutorial is pretty good. You can use the tags for the images.
