this updaters was made for "KAL ONLINE" but works for other games also

Positive:

if file or folder does not exist, it dont update

(((((((

Name: NON-Div Updater
Download:

Scan: Found nothing
Scan URL:

SETUP:

BEFORE YOU START MAKE A COPY OF "DEKARON.EXE" AND RENAME THAT COPY AND CALL IT "engine.exe" THE PROGRAM WILL LOOK FOR ENGINE.EXE !
here is mine:

PLACE THIS FILE IN THE ROOT FOLDER WHERE BIN AND DATA FOLDER ARE

************************************************** **********************
*********************** PSUpdater 2.0 README ***********************
************************************************** **********************

I do not provide the source code becuase of people changing version/copyright information and title then calling
it there own updater without giving any Credit

PSUpdater v2.0 has the following new fetures

- File By File downloading (like real updater)
- filelist.php works on windows or *nix (linux or unix based) webserver systems

DOES NOT WORK WITH IIS

************************************************** **********************
*********************** Webserver Side Setup ***********************
************************************************** **********************

1) make a new folder for your update files eg yourhost.com/updater/

2) open filelist.php scroll to the very bottom and replace YOURPASSWORDHERE (with a password of your choice) in this line

PHP Code:



if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['pa'] == "YOURPASSWORDHERE")

3) place filelist.php in the new folder you just created

4) upload the files you wish to update (make sure to upload folders and all)

If you are running on a *nix (linux or unix based) system make sure the updater directory is made writeable

5) goto

type in the password you set in step 2 and hit "Do It" this creates file.list and contains a list of files for the users updater to download

6) whenever you add new files to the updater dir run filelist.php to create a new file.list if you forget to do this your users wont have up todate files

STEP 4 IS VERY IMPORTANT IF THIS IS NOT DONE UPDATER WILL HAVE ERRORS WHEN DOWNLOADING THE UPDATES TO THE USERS

NEVER DELETE ANY FILES ONCE UPLOADED JUST OVERRIGHT THEM WHEN YOU HAVE A NEW VERSION

NEVER DELETE FILE.LIST

REMEMBER STEP 6

************************************************** **********************
*********************** Client Side User files ***********************
************************************************** **********************

1) PSUpdater2.exe
- Main Updater exe file

2) updater.ini

Zip the files and give to your users

************************************************** **********************
*********************** Updater.ini ***********************
************************************************** **********************

The updater.ini file looks like the following which i will explain below

[Settings]
UpdateHost=http://yourhost.com/updater
UpdateFile=file.list
NoticeFile=notice.txt
WebsiteButtonURL=http://yourhost.com
UpdaterTitle=My Updater Title

UpdateHost - web address that is holding the updates make sure there is no end slash /
UpdateFile - file.list This can not be changed its hardcoded in the updater exe if changed update will not work
NoticeFile - Name of your notice file to hold information and notices about your server
WebsiteButtonURL - Website Address of your Server webpage for registerion etc
UpdaterTitle - Title of the Updater to be displayed in the title bar of the updater

MAKE SURE YOU EDIT updater.ini WITH YOUR SERVER SETTINGS BEFORE GIVING IT TO ANYONE

Me, janvier123 is giving out HTTP space for members who want this
you will get:
5Gb space (more then enough)
FTP with passw and login
Fast HTTP connection

PM me for this

The only thing I can say is...

...

And I didn't even get my reg page to work, so I can't test if my IPban script works, so I can't release... You win, I fail =/

One question:

When you say if file or folder doesn't exist it won't update, what exactly do you mean?

I ask because updates usually deal with new files and if you are saying that if a file is in the update but not currently in the client it won't update, that's not going to help much. Still may help some but won't be any good for new content.

Rsync would be a desirable protocol to use and would overcome that obstacle but I don't have time to write the executables.

well this is just what i think

example: if you want to update data/share/arrange/portallocation but then you invent something new and just want to add example portalllocation2 it wont do it...

exactly, but i dont think we need to add new stuff, its mostly replacing stuff

What's the point then? Most people are adding new content and this seems to be a tool for those who never move forward.

I guess this would be useful for those who only update what they have, but what happens when they have new content?

khm how many times do you add BRAND NEW content, like janvier said, you update your content....if you have a new map it will go to maplist.csv (file already exsists), if you add new weps also the file already exsists, i dont see what could you possibely update with that dosent already exsist

Thats where u r wrong. You add new skill files for a7 skills ,new armor for dksquare. More new then just editing. I promise u. Unless u just stay a3 forever.

Thats what i wanna know....Otherwise nice release

~~~Kakkarot~~~ · 09/05/2009, 14:15

right...i think that just editing would be fine for quitesome time, since a 6 skills are still not fully working so i think a 7 should just be a nice little dream, and once you get it all to work you can just launch a new game client as a big new update

ItsNobody · 09/05/2009, 22:22

Well if u ever need help with packing client let me know. Then u could write a tut bout it. I dont have time to write a nice tut

Adding just one single map involves more than just editing the maplist. You have to load all the files for the map, which would be new content. Adding a new line to the item files for a new item usually involves adding new repainted texture files, unless you use a texture that is not already used in game.
