[Guide] UpdateMaker+How to make it work

[RamonZzz]

First of all you need to download this tool ) It's in attachment.

How it works?

1. Goto "Rising Force Online" folder and hex 127.0.0.1 to your IP. Place it to your client root folder.
2. Create folder, where you need to place files that your players will download. Place also rf_online.bin and RF.exe. Keep folder structure as in client.
Create folder "Download" in the root folder of your web.
3. Launch RF_Update.exe, click "Open Directory", choose rf_online.bin.
Click "Make Update", choose folder "Download", that you've created and wait untill it fill finish.
4. Place content from folder "www" in the archive into your web root folder.
Edit serverconfig.dat,update.dat and update.dll - replace 127.0.0.1 with your IP.
You've done! Start RF.exe and watch the process.
Also you can place pass to PatchInfo.z file, don't forget to HEX RF.exe (default pass in this RF.exe is 123456789)

Tested on Up5.

Known bugs:
1. Could close client and not work if there are many files to update.
2.Doesn't patch itself.

Good luck!

Thread moved to the tutorials section since it is a tutorial with an attachment, and not a proper release.

Does this work in update6?

 

[RamonZzz]

Re: [TUT] UpdateMaker+How to make it work

Didn't try, but it has to. Everything depends on 2.1.6 launcher - if it is same as 2.1.5

Re: [TUT] UpdateMaker+How to make it work

I got the launcher to work with 2.1.6 but is there any way to get the windowed mode check box back and the config box back. Or a launcher that also works with the updater, everythings great apart from those 2 things lmao.

Your client differs a lot from your patch 0_o
Check files and client version in patcher and in some .ini in client.. don't remember the name of it, have no client

One question, who did this program? This is outdated now, the patch process changed a bit, but is a nice work, maybe i can make one updater for actual version, if i got some spare time!

[abenz]

edit IP numbers in launcher file with hex editor.

 

[mauka]

i gues launcher is more then just a launcher
