Valon328 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 wait wait I think this still works right? Theres only like 9 types of things I need others to upload, and I got the FTP stuff all wrapped up but I still have one question, how will the newversion.txt be changed? Like after it is> client.exe> 2Wouldn't it end forever there because its in the clients folder?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 No it will download it from online and update it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valon328 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 @Marsh:> No it will download it from online and update itlike would the number "2" be stuck forever when its on someone elses computer? cause if I send this to someone elses computer and if it stays on 2 forever in their newversion.txt it wont update D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 No, i dont think you understand. It will download a NEW FILE, new! off the internet… a new file. It will take some data from the internet, then it will download a new newversion.txt and replace the one that used to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valon328 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 yes but I dont think you understand my point too XD if my newversion is on "2" right now and on the internet its "3" and downloaded teh new newversion, it will be "3", but wouldnt that keep downloading to 4 and 5 or just stay on 3???

xeross Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It will stay at 3 because the internet version is also 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valon328 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 wait what? this is getting really confusing, do you mean that all I have to do is to keep uploading the newversion to my ftp and I'm done?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 You put in the URL and it downloads it automatically. Then the newversion.txt changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valon328 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 so ok, now if I change something in my FTP, the updater automatically auto updates from the ftp? really? its that cool?? like all I ahve to do is to change my items.bmp (for e.g) and then on someone else' computer it will just automatically say its updating? If so that is soooo freakin cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you change the newversion.txt in your ftp it will download that see its new and download the file that was updated… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that is soooo freakin coolThe person running the updater has a file on his computer also containing the stuff newversion.txt contains, if you change your newversion.txt on the server the updater sees it's changed, looks which file is changed, downloads it, and changes it's own newversion.txt to match the one on your server.

Valon328 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 oh okay…so I put newversion in my servers folder or just the clients folder, wait wiatso basically all I have to do is change the newversion.txt in my newversion.txt and the other's newversion.txt automatically changes to the one I have?

Marsh Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 It proberly just doesnt work then, it seemed fine for me though i didnt do much testing. The source is availible for anyone who wants to test it out. I will not be finding the problem or bothering to update. I have another project that is taking up my coding time.

shadowwulf Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The original version works great for less than 25 files.I tested it multiple times.The one for more files might be ducked… so those that really want more files need to either work on a fix or look elsewhere.

minipimp Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Okay nvm , it works 100% i just forgot to uplaod the newversion file with 2 into it instead of 1\. :P easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
