jcsnider Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 EO 4 game.Edit your updates.ini to be like this[Updates]CurrentVersion=2[Update1]UpdateURL=PutYour1stUpdateUrlHere[Update2]UpdateURL=PutYour2ndUpdateUrlHereFill in the new link, save it and that is about it. Make sure you keep the first update in there though. They do update in order so you do not need to compile everything each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stein Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 > So that's the update.ini in the client folder…. and if I did this, then everyone else's client will update the same way?You need to modify the Update.ini file that your server uses (the one on a webhost) or it won't change a thing.

Stein Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 On your webserver or gameserver? The gameserver doesn't download any of the data, it just forwards the URL of update.ini to the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I have a question just to make sure I understand it properly - when I do a 2nd update through JC's tutorial, and I link it the same way as I did the first, will new players still get both updates even though the link is to the 2nd update? (I hope that makes sense lol)~~Never mind…. I get it now.... I went back through the tutorial and I understand how it works now lol..... Sorry for the silly questions, my brain is slow, but it gets there eventually LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
