Auto Updater

[Valon328]

mines is less than 25 files and still doesnt works….. D=

[Marsh]

I am not sure if there is actually a problem or some people are just using it wrong. Perhaps a bit of both.

[Valon328]

i think so, but whenever I compile it into an installer, it doesnt work anymore. but if its not on an installer it works! D:

[shadowwulf]

I believe its just end user issues.
I did many many tests along with 7 players all using it…
The files updated perfecetly... until i wanted to try more than 254 or 25...

I actually tried having someone just download the updator(like 5mb) and have it download all the files for the game LOL.

[azkanan]

It works fine for me, but then again, I read every step 3 times before actually doing it. I blame peoples.

of course it wont work that way, it doesnt have the files to read anymore….

[Valon328]

so basically i can't put it on an installer?

[Marsh]

You could have a installer install it. But you cant expect it to update out of a installer….

Quick Question about the source of the updater. 

I am trying to edit it, i have dev-C++ as the compiler, and i have added this to the project…  My problem is i done have urlmon.lib or urlmon.h, and i get the urldownloadtofile undefined error ;(   

Does anyone no where i can get these files or how to fix this error?

I have googled this, but could not find urlmon.lib

THanks

[Marsh]

Everything you need is in the download. Actually open it as a project because it uses some decencies i believe that comes with windows. Dont just grab the main.txt source file.

[Manitikyl]

Who can make the same program. Just without _Marsh and sites_, And simply to write LOADING FINISHED.? Make it is pls.

[Manitikyl]

Sorry, flap. but I need it is programm, who know, make pls  :embarrassed:

[HappyBoy]

This is great ;)

Dev-Cpp uses MinGW which uses A-files instead of LIB-files for libraries. If you don't have the urlmon header (urlmon.h) and library ([lib]urlmon.a) shipped with MinGW then you should either use LoadLibrary, FreeLibrary and GetProcAddress or another compiler. If you have the header (urlmon.h) shipped, then you should try linking against [lib]urlmon.a using -lurlmon in your linker settings.

If you're missing the library and the header you can use run-time linking, a common technique I use in MinGW as MinGW misses a lot of shit I usually need.

So using http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms775123%28VS.85%29.aspx, the run-time linking would look like:
```
#define WIN32_MEAN_AND_LEAN
#include

typedef HRESULT (* URLDownloadToFileFunction)(LPUNKNOWN, LPCTSTR, LPCTSTR, DWORD, LPBINDSTATUSCALLBACK);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
HINSTANCE hDLL = ::LoadLibrary("urlmon.dll");

if (hDLL == NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr, "LoadLibrary failed with error %08lx.\n", ::GetLastError());

return -1;
}

URLDownloadToFileFunction lpfnURLDownloadToFile;
lpfnURLDownloadToFile = (URLDownloadToFileFunction)::GetProcAddress(hDLL, "URLDownloadToFile");

if (lpfnURLDownloadToFile == NULL)
{
::FreeLibrary(hDLL);

fprintf(stderr, "GetProcAddress failed with error %08lx.\n", ::GetLastError());

return -1;
}

if (FAILED((*lpfnURLDownloadToFile)(/* Parameters */)))
{
::FreeLibrary(hDLL);

fprintf(stderr, "URLDownloadToFile failed.\n");

return -1;
}

::FreeLibrary(hDLL);

return 0;
}
```
And as MinGW32 doesn't work properly with UNICODE, you might as well use a more appropriate ANSI-version, which would look like this:
```
#define WIN32_MEAN_AND_LEAN
#include

typedef HRESULT (* URLDownloadToFileFunction)(LPUNKNOWN, LPCTSTR, LPCTSTR, DWORD, LPBINDSTATUSCALLBACK);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
HINSTANCE hDLL = ::LoadLibrary("urlmon.dll");

if (hDLL == NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr, "LoadLibrary failed with error %08lx.\n", ::GetLastError());

return -1;
}

URLDownloadToFileFunction lpfnURLDownloadToFile;
lpfnURLDownloadToFile = (URLDownloadToFileFunction)::GetProcAddress(hDLL, "URLDownloadToFileA");

if (lpfnURLDownloadToFile == NULL)
{
::FreeLibrary(hDLL);

fprintf(stderr, "GetProcAddress failed with error %08lx.\n", ::GetLastError());

return -1;
}

if (FAILED((*lpfnURLDownloadToFile)(/* Parameters */)))
{
::FreeLibrary(hDLL);

fprintf(stderr, "URLDownloadToFile failed.\n");

return -1;
}

::FreeLibrary(hDLL);

return 0;
}
```

Very nice, and very easy  ;-d

[waltercross]

I Use an Installer, Got the files on my web server, Edited the data file, even made it so everytime the Client.exe is ran it first checks for updates, The only issue I have is that Tile0.bmp is Twice in the update list and It updates all files correctly
but if I run the updater again the 2nd Tile0.bmp(that shouldn't even be there in the first place) is always out of date and
it always downloads it again.

[Marsh]

I wouldnt use this then, others have made updaters since then.

[yaratemaster]

For the url where the items must be attached,
Can thosee files be zipped,
Or how else you must upload it , and what upload site do you recommend

[teh jimpie]

hmm.. I have it worked once, not anymore now.

Edit: Fixed :)

>! but I have a question.
>! it updates the files, but, you can't put a new download link or change the new version, because you need to send them with the auto updater. So how can you update new files to a site without giving them to the auto updater?
>! also, after 1 time using the updater it says in the versions.txt this:

When i try 2 upload files 2 000.webhost.com the gfx files says file 2 big did not upload i also tried zip but same thing what should i do?

[Marsh]

It downloads a new version of the newversion.txt. You need to get a better web host Coolguy.

[Coolguy6318]

Whats the best web host?

That's like asking which of my glasses is best. They all serve the same purpose; to hold liquids.
