[help] patcher probelems

hello.

im having a bit of trouble.
i followed the guide http://forum.ragezone.com/f724/make-...h-list-676563/

the patch client opens with no errors. my website shows and everything. but when i click start it just closes and nothing happens. something else i noticed, i put 4 .res files in the resclient folder in the root of my site. but it does not look like its installing the patches, does not say 1/4 patches complete or anything.
and ideas as to what i can do?

thanx.

If you changed neuz.exe name, make sure you change it everywhere (in the patcher too). Another possible error you could have made (or not) is having two different strings that summon the window out (the "sunkist" thing).

To check if these are correct: (If you're using source. If not, sorry, I can't help you):
1. Go to your source folder
2. Open PatchClient folder (thats the patcher source)
3. Open BetaPatchClient.cpp and look for this:

Code:

---

void CBetaPatchClientApp::RunClient()
{
        PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
        STARTUPINFO si;
        memset( &si, 0, sizeof( STARTUPINFO ) );
        si.cb = sizeof( STARTUPINFO );

        TCHAR szBuffer[2048];
        int nCount = _snprintf( szBuffer, 2047, "Neuz.exe %s", "sunkist" );
        if( nCount <= 0 )
                return;

        if( CreateProcess( NULL, szBuffer, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi ) )
        {
                if( AfxGetMainWnd() )
                        AfxGetMainWnd()->PostMessage( WM_CLOSE );
        }
        else
        {
                char szError[256];
                wsprintf( szError, "ErrorNumber: %d Neuz.exe Run Error", GetLastError() );
                AfxMessageBox( szError );
        }                               
}

4. I've highlighted the name of client's executable in red and the sunkist string in blue. If your client executable has a different name, you can change it now.

5. Go back to the source main folder and go to the Neuz folder.
6. Open NeuzMsgProc.cpp and look for this:

Code:

---

#else //__LINK_PORTAL
        if( strcmpi( szArg1, "sunkist" ) )
                return FALSE;
#endif //__LINK_PORTAL
#else //LANG_KOR
        if( strcmpi( szArg1, "sunkist" ) )
                return FALSE;
#endif //LANG_KOR
#endif //__INTERNALSERVER
*/
#ifndef __MAINSERVER
        g_Neuz.m_bEncryptPWD        = TRUE;
#else        // __INTERNALSERVER
        if( strcmpi( szArg1, "sunkist" ) )
                return FALSE;
        if( ::GetLanguage() == LANG_KOR )
        {
                if( strcmpi( szArg2, "localhost" ) )
                        g_Neuz.m_bEncryptPWD        = TRUE;
                else
                        g_Neuz.m_bEncryptPWD        = FALSE;
        }

6. If the parts in blue in this file are different than in BetaPatchClient.cpp, change them and make sure they're all the same.

thanx. i will have a look as soon as i can.

thanx a million
