[Guide] How to delele files from client via Updater

[.Shaco.]

Hello Community, If you ever wonder how you can remove files from client folder with an updater, then here is a full guide for you. Good for server owners who updated wrong files or want to remove files to optimize the size of client folder of your players. So here it is..

[Step 1]
Create a file with this name and format.

Name: delete
Format: lst
Result: delete.lst

[Step 2]
Open the file and you will see a blank page. Inside there you will need to write the name of files you want to delete from a client folder.

e.g.
Cash.SData
filter.txt

etc. If you want to delete a file which is in a folder you will have to specify the location correctly. Like Item/Item.SData so final result of the file will be like this:

Cash.SData
filter.txt
Item/Item.SData

[Step 3]
After that put that file inside patch folder. Here is a tricky part for newbies. Please do not put this file inside "Update.Saf/Sah" else it won't work. Put this file inside .patch folder along with "Update.saf/sah" or just a simple .patch file with just that file.



Right click on the file create a folder with zip format then change from zip to patch and you are done!


That is! Easy steps to remove files from your player's client. Don't forget to "increase" your patch version.

Regards,
Shaco

Well if you fail a path in the patch, eg, you put Item.SData in the wrong place, you can clean it. So your client is always clean.

Почему размер data.saf не меняется после удаления чего либо?
