Approved, someone please test.

[palco]

And what about if I (like a player) start the game directly with main.exe and don't want to use GLUpdate.exe. May be something will be coded additionaly in main.exe to force starting of GLUpdate.exe? Or may be this is the voluntary and recommended updating of files to make my client to be up to date?

[KREATOR]

maybe where you code the main so that i has to open mu.exe you could change the name and put GLUpdate.exe

If people really wants to have the latest version they should run autoupdater .

[mauka]

[update]
newversion=7.1.0.0
localversion=GLUpdate.exe

[files]
count=1

[file1]
url=http://127.0.0.1/Update/main.CAB
descr=Application

[application]
appupdate=1
appname=main.exe
appcomps=main.cab

well.. if
appname=main.exe
this is the name of app who launcher will run after it will check for updates
if u wana run mu.exe then chnage ti to
appname=mu

i still working on it and the idea is create tool who will delite main.exe(or another file) after u close the main.exe(or another file)

and the player will see main.exe only while playing game
i cann add that launcher will hide main.exe
but since player can select in explorer view hiden files there is no point of i t

[phit666]

If your idea is just to protect main from alteration then better use main's checksum coz even you can force to pull the update it is easy to fake the update source to any address. Also Its not a good idea to always fetch 2mb (compressed) everytime you start the client.

[[RCZ]ShadowKing]

i have a suggestion:
If you did encrypt/decrypt for .au file than all will can decrypt this file for servers that use this auto updater so i suggest you to do only encrypt tool: .txt -> .au and all will be fine.
a rate for your tools 9/10

[mauka]

u can check full Client files with this tool

hurdest part is add all stuf in *.Inf file =D
and thas what about is GLwiz.exe ^^

u most always download atleast 1 file (example Launchers.logo)
#need to fix it

PS. also new GLUpdate.exe with some fixes

#whats next
1. add option to check (CRC32 checksum) files in GLUpdate.exe subfolders
2. close 2-5 min "invisible mode"( well ofcours in tas manager u will be aviable to see it ) after main.exe is launched (to check if some of cheats (in cheat list) is lainched
if cheats launched GLU.exe will
force close main.exe and open web URL (example to page where is big EVIL DOG and message,
u just have been punked!

PS. meybe som1 have ideas what should i add to it =D

[palco]

GLWizard can't create 0.cab. Only 1.cab, 2.cab ... etc.

What about if I want to add a folder?

[mauka]

hm... and how u gona check if folder needs update?
thats why i use only files
i will add option to check files in *.exe `s subdirectorys =)



about that
[file0]
i noted it =D

And if my file is 1 kb in size, a cab file isn't created.

gona check it..
PS. thank for bug report

EDITED!
it can create even 0.kb file size
i just tested it with GLHelp.exe

in next version GLW.exe i fix it

Thanks again =D

[palco]

Do not thank me, I'm glad to help you in making this wonderful program to become perfect. And for 1 kb files - I was wrong

BTW, I created a cab file with external program including folders and updater works fine, but can't check the files by checksum.

And check another thing: If file checksum matchs than the Autoupdater starts to think to long.

[mauka]

thas why u allways need to download atleast 1 file
till i fix it =]

[nanoman]

Wow!
Wonderful updater you have created and it's also damn easy to use it.
10/10 man!

Latvia rox - best climate for programmers! :D

[ATJIAHT]

I have 1 question...

why GLUpdate connected at 85.14.188.110:8080

[mauka]

its connect to ip entered in /Data/Sound/GL.au
and launcher use only port :21

Wow!
