[Release] Open Source PokeNet Laucnher

[gotenkvg]

Hey I've been trying to get this to work for a while (patching) but I just can't seem to get a website working off my pc not locally but publicly. I've been trying since my last post so I'm pretty sure I've tryed everything. Is it possible for the launcher to check for updates from the server instead of a website?? I have a bit of experience coding and I don't see what would be the big diff O.o

Sorry if this is allot lol and I have the server working publically and I saw ur eg http://127.0.0.1:8080/update/update.ini" how could I get that done with my ip without making a web site.

Or is it even possible to do it off of a Media fire dl link or a free website were the client downloads and compares the new = "wever ver" line of code in update.ini to the old one and simply replaces the old update.ini and patches the same way you showed above?? :(

If you have a direct link file then yes you can use mediafire, to download a file from the machine directly would be way to much of a work load on the host machine.

Just upload the files to some random web hosting service and use that link to them.

so i got a error and i actually got the website to work off my comp seems like just needed to restart it :( so here are some print screens

Every time i launch it, it deletes my pokenet.ini file also..... im not really sure if i even have the whole website thing set up correctly for putting files on it but the site can be accesed on other computers and it isn't just locally. I've tried with the MyIpAdress/update.ini etc.... and it still gave me that error or kept deleting my pokenet.ini or update.ini

When it launches it is set to check if the file exists then download a new one. If it isnt downloading that means something is wrong with the link or a corrupt code. On that Microsoft .Net Framework error, hit details and copy/paste the contents please.

i'll be home late tomorrow il do it then

You need to add http:// to runthedomes.zapto.org/postupdate.ini

and any links you have in the cofigs.

think i might of found a bug with the patching it only seems to patch extension 1 even if other extensions are enabled. i tryed testing it by making 2 different load .png's and it downloaded the 1st one and not the second one, also my 2nd patch never worked. even if i set the clients rev back 1 so it patches again it still doesnt work
http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/x...earz/zzzzz.png

[servers update.ini]

PatchFiles1 = "http://runthedomes.zapto.org/downloads/load.png"
PatchFiles2 = "http://runthedomes.zapto.org/downloads/pokeball.png"
PatchFiles3 = "http://runthedomes.zapto.org/downloads/t/load.png"

Patch1 = "Enabled"
Patch2 = "Enabled"
Patch3 = "Enabled"


[REV]
New = "4"
Old = "3"

in the client it goes new = 3 old =3 which is whats aspost to happen but my patch 2 and 3 files are not even downloaded. it also seems not to bother adding the other extensions or patch files into the client update.ini

[client update.ini]

PatchFiles1 = http://runthedomes.zapto.org/downloads/load.png
PatchFiles2 =
PatchFiles3 =

Patch1Extention = res/load.png
Patch2Extention =
Patch3Extention =

yes the two load.png's are different images, they look nothing alike and yes ive refreshed the folder and no im getting a long client error only one is, unable to update revision or something like that and i think thats related to updating rev.txt
