vb6 patcher UPDATE 2.5 (Now with md5 checking)

Current Version 2.5.0 / 2.4.0 minimized

Flyffmd5gen.exe instructions
****************************
simply place in your patch folder and click the button
it reads the patch.ini and generates the md5 sum for all the files you added to it

Features
2.5
-added md5 checking(i found a public module to check md5 sum)
-added server tool to create a list of md5 sums for all your files)
-doesn't need to re patch already downloaded files
2.4
-added support to change the banner/window title text
-custom launching of neuz file now permitted
-ability to hide "Extra Config" button

2.3
-patch via patch.ini located on server
-working progress bars
-editing of server,registration page, and patch location

This is a very simple patcher ive been deloping in vb6,
The neuzz.ini is the config file - not much to explain
it requires a file on your server named patch.ini with a structure like this

Code:

---

[update]
num=8
1=NeuzUnique.exe
2=neuz.bat
3=data.res
4=dataSub1.res
5=dataSub2.res
6=mss32.dll
7=mssmp3.asi
8=NeuzD.dll

---

"num" is how many total files you have
one problem I'm working on is it has to re download EVERY file every time it is executed

its a work in progress
i plan on adding:
-way to change backrounds(easy)
-way to change title(easy) -FIXED
-fix "options" window(harder than it sounds)
-add more stability(easy but will take time)
-find a method to check if the file allready exists, and is EXACTLY the same (md5 maybe?) (easy enough)


suggestions and comments please

Im just wondering what this patcher makes better than the standard one?
It looks the same to me.

Except for the extra close button in the upper right corner. In my opinion it only looks worse, it might be a good piece of VB6, but not a very useful patcher in contrast to the other one.

Remove the server name.

advertisement... remove the server name from the patcher.. or just blur it...

ah geez, advertisement, advertisement, seriously, let it be there, who cares?

He made the patch then ofcourse he should get some credits, or do what the hell he wants with it..

Well, since you 2 wrote "Advert.." then you also checked into his / her website too, well. arent you 2 stupid one lol...

well, I did not like the patcher because it looks exacly the same as the current one flyff uses, just with some extra buttons on the top, which looks ugly as hell..

good luck on your next update though ;)

to all those who complained about the "ads"
first off i feel i can put "ads" in MY own code
but i was feeling nice, I've added support to change the Banner/Window Title

fixed your error, the start button was stupidly hardcoded to launch a file named nuez.bat
you can now choose what file to launch in the config

Dude, what you are doing now is amazing, just ignore that kind of people that....

no dont ignore, Be Proud!
People that say stuff like that is only afraid of you and your server ;)

But, If you may...
Ive seen not alot, but many posts of people requesting of small patches..

so I will make this request to you,
Are you able to make a patcher that does not look like flyff's current, and make it smaller? ^^
Like, only the news window and the start / downloading file bar :p
With ofcourse a little space somewhere there you can put up your flyff's name ^^

thank you for your support,
and yes i could easly make the type of patcher your request
i can proably have it done in about an hour
i'll release it and let the community judge

UPDATE:
surprisingly it only took me about 10 minutes to do as you requested
and it looks quite good if i do say so myself

Easy and small patch :p looks alright, though it needs it final touches..
like uhm,.. rounded edges, that top bar removed (since there already is a "close" Button on the window)

yes i'm not the best with graphics, so i'm having my team work on the looks, theyre lazy so it might take a little while

Wait so is this like something that won't require us to use Titanium?

Except that you will only increase your server load by using this, I don't see anything about compression. Useless project tbh, why don't you just improve upon the current patcher, or at least write it with an up to date managed language(vb.net for example z-z).

I press the start button and nothing happens.

you have to configure what the start button launches in the extraconfig button

vb6 is actually a very powerfull language if you know how to code with it, my older brother made a full 3D game that ran very smooth with it, but thats kind of off topic

anyway I'm adding support for compression soon
one of my dev team members is writing some code (not sure what language yet) that will be implemented to unzip/unrar/untar

my older brother is also working on a method to check the md5 sum of all the fils that require patching so they don't have to be redownloaded

nope you dont have to use titanium

I'm also working on a addon for this launcher so you don't have to edit the ini you will just drag all the files you need patched into a window or select a folder whichever takes less time for me to code

If you keep updating this and if you change the design & functions, it will be a good patcher I believe.

Oke, can you tell me when you crack md5? LOL
And, wait... all the files have to be re-downloaded every time? Why are you even releasing this? There is no benefit from this to the community whatsoever. You're not releasing the source which doesn't let anyone learn from your code(not that they would LOL), and the patcher is useless and highly inefficient. I mean, I appreciate the effort, but at least finish it before releasing 845792469 versions...

The md5 is almost done, then comes zip/tar/rar not sure which yet
and yes i will release the source once the major upgrades to the patcher have been completed
and i estimate the final release to be 2.6 ish

and i don't appreciate you saying it is no help to the community, first off its a work in progress, and second off at least I'm trying to help the community, i don't want to be nothing but a leechr so I'm trying to put my coding skills to use and let the community benifit, by the way I'm only 18 so i feel that I'm doing the best i can

Its a nice piece of work :D.. Considering its made by a single guy its quite good. Maybe with some more updates it will look nicer with new buttons and banners etc, apart from that its pretty decent, I know for a fact I couldn't do it xD

Yea I'm totally an idiot, no offence but READ before you post
you can change the server name in the settings :ott1:
and its not a noob server, it use to have over 700 players :ott1:
and i'm pretty sure if i coded it i can put whatever i want into it'

Advertisements off section is condoned by the rules, so start abiding to them and stop being a douchebag that thinks that knows everything.

Drop the attitude. We don't need more idiots like you here.
