Thought I should put my 2cents in. I would suggest talking through how to make "Default" profile for winrar this means if you make the folder [PatchName] (example name= 5050) then highlight all the stuff in the folder and right click then click the option "Add to '5050.rar'" it will create a default rar file which could be your patch setup (if it's self extracting it will also do that)

a lot of people ask me about auto patches and patches so heres a guide for you all

first the auto patch server



ok how to use this ....

on the first setup you should put your current client version in the latest patch version box

as you see in this screen shot it is currently at version 1010

this means anyone with a client lower than version 1010 will get 1 added to the version number they already have and then that patch will be downloaded

next up is the Auto patch port this is the port number in which you will put in the socketConfigs.ini (I'm not at home and don't have a client to check the spelling of this sorry) normally people would use 9528 as it is the default

After this you need to put your domain name if your using a sub domain for example

sub.google.com

then you would put that in this box

after than is the Absolute path ... in this box you will put the exact path to the folder containing the patches they can be as deep in your site as you want for eample

eo/downloads/patches/new

after this the patcher will work perfectly

Now for the advance options

Bundling patches:

this is were you take a set of patches (say patch 1000-1050) and put them all into one patch then when you upload it it must go to the same folder as the rest of your patches

for this option you can call the patch whatever name you want (bundle01 for this example)

once you upload your bulk patch you need to add each patch to the box

so start at 1000 and type bundle01
now do 1001 and type bundle01
and keep going till 1049

for those of you wanting to make your own here is how it works
OK now for making a patch
i will use my newest patch to do this (which is adding a new login screen)

step 1:

make a folder with the patch number as the name(makes it easy)

step 2:

make the directory's you are going to update and put the version.dat in as well

step 3:

open the version.dat in notepad

step 4:

put the number up by 1 and save

step 5:

add the sub directory's

step 6:

add the files you are wanting to update

step 7:

select all the files in the folder and right client then go add to archive...

step 8:

check that it is set out like this then click OK

step 9:

open the newly added rar and click SFX

step 10:

click Advanced SFX options

step 11:

check the settings are like this under then General tab

step 12:

check the settings under the Modes tab

step 13:

check the settings under the Update tab

step 14:

check the settings under the text and icon tab < this is optional and is not needed

Step 15:

if this is the first time setting up a patch i suggest you click the Save Current Settings as default so that you dont need to set this all up over and over again

step 16:
click OK and OK again then close win rar

step 17:

there is now a exe file made that is ready to be uploaded to the same place as the auto patch server is to download it
