Successfully Auto-Patch your Launcher

[RaiNx01]

yup, i followed all the instruction, and got the error.

Can u share some new design ?!
If it is just ok with you?!

 

[Vision]

Does your anti-virus blocks the thor patcher? Why others have no problem. I did not experience such error too.

You can really change the design freely. I did not code the Launcher tools nor it's functions. I just shared the patcher because many have launchers without any patcher and the shared files for this was removed. So i re-shared it and made a guide on how to make it work.

I'm not sure why your having that error. Try downloading the file again and extract in different folder.

 

[RaiNx01]

I found out that my files are corrupted.
I got it now
Thanks a lot Vision ^^

here it is now

 

[Vision]

Now all you need to do is to upload that Web folder somewhere in the net. And test the patch if it working. After all things are done, you already have your very own launcher with auto-patch. Not so hard really.

hi vision how to fix this "failed to communicate with server"

 

[Vision]

That means you configured your config.ini or your main.ini wrong. What's your hosting domain/url/address? Tell me also what did you input in your config.ini and main.ini. Cover it in a code tag here.

Opps, looks like your main url has problem. I can't browse it. Please check again.

 

[louieshet]

thats domain url is example only can u give me the full setup of config.ini, i will change the domain url

 

[Vision]

That's the full set-up on how your patcher will work. That's the same as mine. Did you try to host in on the real hosting? don't forget to put a "/" in the end of the url. Like

There's no problem in your config.ini, how about your main.ini? What's the configuration there?
You have 2 accounts?

I think this is not about your config.ini or main.ini, it's the application. Can you redownload the launcher and tell me if the problem still exist.

 

[louieshet]

i try to change the compatibility mode in win98 then its working can start the game but the other players cant connect 'failed to communicate with server, still not working :

 

[Vision]

Why is that? If your Web folder can be connected then there's no problem. Else if you give them the wrong Launcher. Let me try and connect. Give me your Launcher here. Just the exe.
