Err... you could wait for the server to re-open, but I think you'd die of old age first. XD

Re: updater > pstale

no no friends, I'm only using this Updater.exe to really see if I can make it up with my files on my configured IP host.

updater.exe configured so http://69.162.71.xxx/pstale/update.asp

file Update.asp

Quote:

<% 'Written by Sandurr modificado por DeusexDim gFileSystemObject, gFile
Dim strMenu, strNews

Set gFileSystemObject=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set gFile=gFileSystemObject.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("/pstale/update.txt"), 1)

Do While gFile.AtEndOfStream = False
strNews = strNews & gFile.ReadLine & vbCrLf
Loop

gFile.Close
Set gFile=Nothing
Set gFileSystemObject=Nothing

Response.Write(strNews)
%>

file update.txt

Re: updater > pstale

Oh okay, so you're trying to redirect that program to your own host. Sorry, I misunderstood.

Are you deliberately running on port 171, and if most of the update is on 171, why is the initial contact not? Not sure if that's the issue, but it seems odd.

Re: updater > pstale

port: 171 is the Vertrigo (which I use to run. php) that is if I put the files in the update IIS port: 80, the Updater.exe downloads a file called _update.inf it in.

and that is why I use port 171 for file update

Re: updater > pstale

I thought _update.inf should be, essentially, the update.txt created by Sandurrs ASP? (not sure, just a theory)

Re: updater > pstale

I did not understand WHAT YOU mean, could simplify?

Re: updater > pstale

No. I can expand though. Try:-

Code:

<% 'Written by Sandurr modificado por DeusexDim gFileSystemObject, gFile Dim strMenu, strNews Set gFileSystemObject=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set gFile=gFileSystemObject.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("/pstale/_update.inf"), 1) Do While gFile.AtEndOfStream = False strNews = strNews & gFile.ReadLine & vbCrLf Loop gFile.Close Set gFile=Nothing Set gFileSystemObject=Nothing Response.Write(strNews) %>

without the port re-mapping.

or maybe

Code:

Server.MapPath("/_update.inf"

Because I'm not sure how accurate your description of the _update.inf URL was. (clearly not "fully qualified")

Re: updater > pstale

I'm not sure. It's undocumented, but looks to be "based on" the original PT updater, which I do no a bit about, having got that working and documented much of that.

The original would not work from the uncompressed files visible in the OP screenshot though, and had setdir.lst as well as setfile.lst. It's clearly not the same, but also clearly "similar". Could be modified, or could be re-write. Not at all sure.

If I was going to re-write, I'd do something completely different. If I was going to use original, I wouldn't stop using the lzh / lha compressed files. I don't understand what the goals of this updater are. (it looks sh*t to me, so I'm probably missing an essential design feature... and that's what happens with undocumented tools XD)

Re: updater > pstale

I managed to make the connection with the server setdir.lst find the file and the file is missing setfiles.lst I find the program to create the file. upw or how to make that file can someone help me?

Re: updater > pstale

Can help yourself by searching the forums. You should have found my existing solution for the official updater by doing that.

As previously stated, upw files are simply lzh / lha archives with the file extension changed. :p Any file identifier would have told you that very quickly, and finding archive handlers for it isn't hard. It was a *very* popular archiver (more so than Zip for a long long time) with source code freely available. That's how it ended up with two different names; just different builds of the same archiver, like tgz / tar.gz.

Re: updater > pstale

I understood everything up to the part of making the files and setdir.lst setfile.lst. time I'm the one creating the update message! "invalid checksum is returned game.exe" but when you open the files in the "updates" the files in the folder are not estam the setdir.lst and setfile.lst files update not in folders. files. I have to create the files. upw before making setfile and setDir? please explain as simply as I do these files. upw am somewhat layman on the subject. I am already in the end do so just make these files. upw to run the psupdate.exe did some tests with other files and it worked perfectly.

Re: updater > pstale

Complete source was provided, and whatever cannot be understood in English should be understandable in source, if you know Basic.

Checksum routine:-

Code:

Function CSum(FName As String) As Integer Dim As Integer hFile, Sum Dim As Byte HeaderLen, aByte, n If FileExists(FName) Then hFile = FreeFile() If Open(FName For Binary As hFile) = 0 Then Sum = 0 Get #hFile, , HeaderLen For n = 0 To HeaderLen Get #hFile, , aByte Sum = Sum + aByte Next Close hFile Sum = Sum And &hFF Return Sum Else ePrintl "Cannot open " & FName Return -1 EndIf Return 0 Else ePrintl FName & " not found!" Return -1 EndIf End Function

MakeUps.exe should be installed somewhere in your %Path% and it needs LHA as well, to create the UPW files. It can skip making UPW files and just update the indexes with the -b switch. (or equivalent)

I usually put it in %SystemRoot%\System32. Which is why there is a batch file to do that... but the batch file relies on eldo.exe being in the system already, since that was how I normally get around elevation on the command line in Vista+ (ie. Window NT6.x = Vista, Win7 and Win8) it's just like sudo in *nix, but MS don't provide an equivalent themselves. runas is not equivalent, and still leaves users as un-elevated administrators. (maybe you know another solution)

When it's in the search path (%path%) you should set the PWD (present working directory) to your game folder and call it like

Code:

MakeUps o:..\UpdateFolder

and it should generate all the UPW files, setfiles.lst and setdir.lst files in the exact configuration they should be hosted on the web / ftp server. (from what I've just re-read, I didn't test this and it's been over 2 years since I used this) With the example given the "UpdateFolder" would be adjacent to the client installation folder.

Take careful note of the file limitations mentioned in the historic threads. Most custom clients exceed this limit by a long way, and so this updater is not appropriate for them.

Re: updater > pstale

I'm doing the following:
MakeUps.exe and LHA.exe folder
c: \ windows \ system32
inside the folder of the client station all uncompressed files
folders, game.exe pstale, exe, etc.
I walk the path in DOS until
c: \ inetpub \ wwwroot \ pstale \ 4197 \ updatefiles
and perform makeups
and he of the following
c: \ inetpub \ wwwroot \ pstale \ 4197 \ updatefiles \ .. updates \ files \ game.exe.upw not found!
Invalid CheckSum return game.exe
my friend trying this and also of the same mistake.
What do we can finalize missing for q? their explanations are great but very technical and are laymen
please help in this part talked with several who have tried and ended up giving up by not understanding What do do

Sincerely Medo] X [

Re: updater > pstale

Wrong folder.

makeups.exe needs to be run with the client source folder as PWD, and pointed at the inetpub download folder. Not the other way around.

That's why you need it, and LhA in the path, because otherwise it would try to distribute its' self to your players. XD

-o: indicates the "Output", where the "Input" is always, "where you are, right now". (the path before the >_)

So you should end up somewhere like:-

Code:

D:\Games\Priston Tale>makeups -o:c:\inetpub\wwwroot\pstale\4197\updatefiles

Leading to

Code:

UPDATE_VERSION=4197 UPDATE_PATH=http://69.162.71.xxx:171/pstale/4197/updatefiles UPDATE_INFO=http://69.162.71.xxx:171/pstale/4197/updatefiles/setfile.lst UPDATE_DIRINFO=http://69.162.71.xxx:171/pstale/4197/updatefiles/setdir.lst

Re: updater > pstale

I did the way you told me and I put the client in a full uncompressed pendriver went to Dos and did the command you said and another error

f: \ my client> makeups -o: c: \ inetpub \ wwwroot \ pstale \ 4197 \ UpdateFiles
Found short patch output switch.
No supported YET!

the altoria your own program that creates files upw? I have to put the files in the zipped folder my client? the LHA.exe gotta be in the System32 folder with all the files from the zipped makeups coming? sorry I am a layman in this subject and I really need your help to finish the project

Re: updater > pstale

It actually says

Code:

Found short output path switch. Not supported YET!

It is a bug. Specifically, it's a documented feature which I never finished implementing.

So... Both input and output are fixed. It should be run from the client folder, and will create update files in folder called "Update" next to the folder from which it is run. (ie. "..\Update") and specifying input or output is not "YET" supported. XD

Sorry about that. It has been a long time since I stopped developing that.

Re: updater > pstale

I do not know what it'm doing wrong already followed the tutorials the way that you need, however when I give the command to create the files in the folder makeups F: \ My client keeps giving Game.exe.upw Not Found invalid checksum returned for Game. exe

Files and MaKeUps.exe lHA.exe estaum root folder System32
