Make your own MuAutoUpdater

[Deathway]

Well this time I will show you how to make your own AutoUpdater

Tools Needed:

1.- FTP Server (don't you have? here is a list of free server Free Ftp Servers downloads
2.- Winhex or another hex Editor
3.- ConnectServer (Work only with ConnectServer that has ServerInfo.dat in data files)
4.- WinZip
5.- WTF Editor

Steps:

1.- Install the FTP Server and make an account that can access to subdirectories, and download files mainly
2.- Download this tools (in attachment)
3.- Search in ServerInfo.dat this

[FtpServerInfo]
Address = 192.168.1.101
Port    = 21
ID      = MuOnline
PASS	= MuOnline

[HttpServerInfo]
HTTPAddress = localhost
Port    = 80
ID      = MuOnline
PASS	= MuOnline

[GameServerInfo]
ClientVersion = 1.00.14
ClientVersion_TEST = 1.00.14
VersionFileName = version.wvd
DownLoadType = 0

And replace with your IP of your FTP, Website, and the account you have created in FTP server and with your current version

4.- In version.wvd put your current version with no letters, for example my version is Vietnam 1.00n, in your version.wvd you put this

"1.00.14"

Yes WITH QUOTES
5.- Make a folder in your FTP Server with your current version, i mean if i use 1.00n put

1.00.14

without quotes.
6.- paste your version.wvd in your FTP server so it shouldbe like this:
http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2108/ftp1bl8.jpg
7.- in you folder you have created, paste the list.inf and the up_list.zip
8.- With hexeditor search in mu.exe 192.168.1.101 and change it to your IP, search in message.wtf with wtf editor the last line and change it to your Notice URL Website
9.- Client Side: in Config.ini put your version of version.wvd

Now we finish the Installation Now we go to the procedures to uptate

1.- Update the version.wvd in FTP server to the next number ADDING a line for example if my version is 1.00n i have in version.wvd "1.00.14" I add a line "1.00.15" should be like this

"1.00.14"
"1.00.15"

2.- Zip the files you want to update in their corresponding folders for example like this(take a look that main directory isn't zipped in a global folder like MuGlobal or MuBlablabla):

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3993/ftp2tw1.jpg
NOTE: ALLWAYS you must put the config.ini (stored in the up_list.zip) with the new version for example i want to update to 1.00.15 so i REPLACE . i have this

[LOGIN]
Version=1.00.14
TestVersion=1.00.14

replace with this i my case

[LOGIN]
Version=1.00.15
TestVersion=1.00.15

If you don't do that you will need to update forever:jester:
3.- Make a new folder in you FTP named as your new version, in my case 1.00.15 without quotes
4.- Make a list.inf . in my case i will put an example

#COMPRESSED#
#PACKINGVERSION#
"config.ini"

0 "Data"

0 "Data\Interface"
"dungeun.ozt"
"tarcan.ozt"

0 "Data\Local"
"Dialog.bmd"
"everyone.ozj"
"Filter.bmd"
"FilterName.bmd"
"item.bmd"
"itemsetoption.bmd"
"itemsettype.bmd"
"Loading01.OZJ"
"Loading02.OZJ"
"Loading03.OZJ"
"movereq.bmd"
"NpcName(Eng).txt"
"quest.bmd"
"Skill.bmd"
"slide.bmd"
"Text.bmd"
"webzenlogo.OZJ"
"webzenlogo02.OZJ"

I will explain

#COMPRESSED#
#PACKINGVERSION#

That allways go there

"config.ini"

That a files in the main folder, if you want to update more things than config.ini for example main.exe you must put in a different line and this

"config.ini"
"main.exe"

allways between quotes

0 "Data"

Taht means that we enter to folder Data in our client, for example if i want to update gates or macro i put something like this

0 "Data"
"gate.bmd"
"macro.txt"

0 "Data\Interface"
"dungeun.ozt"
"tarcan.ozt"

Taht means that we enter to folder Data, subfolder Interface and down we put the files we will update allways between quotes

In conclusion if we want to open a folder we put 0 "Folder" and down we put the files

5.- When we finish this, we just put the list.inf in the new FTP folder
6.- We FInish now putting the new version in ServerList.dat

Finally to update your Client just execute the mu.exe, the config.ini contains the actual version of you cleint, so if CS.exe detects that your config.ini is 1.00.14 and version.vwd is 1.00.15 it will update automatically

There is a little explanation about the crypting of the CS packets so you can easily understand how this works
NOTE: Everytime you want to update remember to put the new version of config.ini in up_list.zip files

PD: People are reporting that when they launch mu with mu.exe the Server Bar don't appear, but the AutoUpdate Work

Sometimes you should see what it was before you make changes, but usually after your IP there are spaces, zeros or points (.) try to check wich one of them give you the seam HEXA code after the original IP and fill the free spaces with the seam HEXA code, easy right?!

[*Brittz*]

made my own launcher to support this setup :) works good.

[Z80]

Anyone can help me plz? I can't find the IP 192.168.1.101 in MU.exe.
Any hints, close to where I have to look for a DNS or IP to change??

How to HEx main.exe to autoupdate myserver?

[Xurbus]

awesome guide, might use it

[CockMan]

great guide but bad comments, the guide is simple and easy to use. Currently tho im looking for a lil something more, i need it to auto check for the complete client, and if there are changes download and replace the files, but dc if the download is canceled. im sure its easy to add in c++, but other than that im going to use this guide on setting upa updater, til i find a more completed guide. Thx Deathway for the guide.

[pwersado]
