[Help]Question About RYL2 v2240 Launcher

[sdprust]

I think checking only a "version" file is useless, coz everyone can change this file to the "newest" and continues with the older files, so autopatch will not run.
Hoewever, I'll try check the integrity of every important file.

what would the player gain by changing the version to the newest one?
It would cause a lot of server bugs and lack of necessary files, is like trying to use a MS Office 2010 with the MS Office 1997 files and Office 2010 main executable file.
Only the most dumb players would change the version like that, and to solve that out it can be done an encryption algorythm and crypt a .dat file like is used on the RYL Launcher atm, this way theres no way to change version, or even making a MD5 encryption/decryption on the version line, this way it would be harder to edit the file version. But as I said, would be unecessary...

What are the gains of having the game using an "incomplete patch"?
Not mentioning the checksum errors that could probably occurr on ryl itself.

My idea of auto patcher would be something like this, on client side the user would have 2 files, well 3 to be more specific, the Launcher itself, the Updater, and the config.ini file, what would happen is the launcher open a webrequest to an specific page on any hosting place, could it be on the server hosting pc or simply on any free webhosting server. reminding that on the server should have a XML file wich would contain the latest version, and on the config.ini would contain the lastest client version, basically what the launcher would do, is compare everytime it is opened the version on the web agains the config.ini on the client side. if the version on client is lower, the launcher open the Updater and close the Launcher, then the Updater download the patch package fro mthe webserver and unpack it on RYL Folder replacing the existent files.
After the Updater finish it job, it just open the Launcher again...

Its a pretty simple process. Theres no need to check for RYL files integrity(it could be done, but unecessary) if theres a patch, the launcher shall update it, no matter what...

--EDIT
