CPW - pw patching system

Hello,

I had done a guide for setting up the PW Launcher fews days ago...
But i'm still on the non-patching file. The launcher can connect to the server, get the version info, but when the launcher try to patching the client files..... it's stuck and don't patching anyway...

I tried a lot of differents metodes, launcher and files but still stuck....

Now, i hade found a new thing. I had see on a CPW folder on a private server, the size of files have a different size of the client files.

screenshot:

At the left, this is the size of the gshop.data on the /CPW folder from the private server.
At the right, this is the size of the gshop.data in the client data folder.

So... i need to know what compression is used for this? I tried a lot of compression type (.rar .zip .gz ...) but don't work anyway... the launcher still doesn't patching.

If anyone have some ideas? it will be great...

PS: link to my guide how to setting up pw launcher, http://forum.ragezone.com/f452/clien...uncher-589430/

It uses Zlib for compression.

Humm... thx ^^ but... which tool must i use? coz i tried 7zip and compress the file to .gz but doesn't working...

;------------------------------------------

And... it's the same for the .cup patch? coz i want to do this way too if the first way doesn't work...

.cup patch are compressed too? wich tool must i use for it?

I think you know better as me for this :w00t:

zlib is a compression library... u must code a program or find some code that uses that library.

oh i see.... the zlibwapi.dll exact? ^^ but i don't have any knowledge in C language. Just have some knowledge in php and html...
Did you know a program or a tool that use this library and can compress the files? :):

Hmmm maybe this will help you Romulan...http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Compress/

o0 it's hard to do... someone have an other and easier tool to do this? be cause i don't have knowledge in programation... and the solution of Krimson it's pretty hard for me u__u

My bug... in screenshot i think it's a problem with the /CPW/element/v-1.inc but i don't know what exactly... coz i had tried many compression tool using .gz and still don't work

the screen:

It doesn't say the errors... :/: i want to know exactly what is doesn't work...

version file problem...
anyway ... for a patch server to work u need to crack the patcher.exe or replace the certificate inside it with a new one... all v-x.inc are digitaly signed.

hey xavierk! I think you certainly have a fully working launcher and CPW right? coz i see you know a lot of thing about it... i'm sure you can do a step by step... it will be apreciate for everyone like me.. want a working update system :wink: And you will be thanked by everyone i'm sure :ott1:

plz man! help us! :):

thanks
