Updates.

[Phoenix]

I'm facing lot of problems regarding Updates. My newly packed MRS files do not over write the old ones in the client. For instance, if I have a new zitem to update, I cannot. The old system still remains in the Client folder. No MRS File gets updated. (New ones with new file names do, but old ones like system.mrs dont get over-written). But other files like DLL's and the Runnable does get over written. Please help me..

Are they encrypted?
You need to update the launcher to handle the checksumming.

Yes, they are encrypted. Oh yeah, I tried using Ijji's un-encrypted MRS. I made a patch out of it and it DID over-write my encrypted one. It replaced my encrypted MRS. Could you tell me what the problem is and a simple method to fix it?

To checksum a MRS file, it has to be opened and read (it's the sum of all the CRC32 files).

As you've changed the MRS encryption, you need to also apply it to ZPatchBuilder (so the checksum isn't always 0 - as it would be when it fails) so it can update when you run the updater; GunzLauncher.

So it's just a simple binary modification of the MRS encryption scheme in those two executables.

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. I'm kinda noob. How am I supposed to open the MRS files, read the checksum and apply it to the ZPatchBuilder? Is that the only thing that is supposed to be done? If so, please tell me how. And do I have to do it for each and every MRS File of the same encryption or just read the checksum of 1 and add it to the ZPATCH?

[x1nixmzeng]

You completely misunderstood. I was explaining how a MRS file is checksummed (as you asked me what the problem was).

In short, the MRS encryption you wrote into your main Gunz executable needs to be applied to the launcher and the checksum builder.

Ok =/ But how do I apply it to the launcher and zpatch builder lol xD

Use it http://forum.ragezone.com/f245/relea...dating-554759/

[Phoenix]

Well yes, I've used this. But after using it, it shows 81 Files to Update. And after Update's are done, it gives an error. What am I to do?

lookup t6's guide on it it comes into more detail and use it on the zpatchbuilder and gunzlauncher as well
