Auto Patcher

[kyndigs]

Created a new autopatcher, almost a clone of the official one, infact it even works on the official mir and downloads their stuff.

Will release soon, any suggestions on anything to improve the patching process?

Imo it'd look better with a little more brightness, maybe change the 'Click Here' box to something brighter, to bring the whole bottom section up a bit? The top looks excellent, but as I say it's on the dark side.

does it use the same kind of .ini configuration as kaoris (able to use mirrors)?

is a user going to have to set up the paths to the .exe for the game start button to work, or does it look in the directory the patcher is in by default?

It searches for the mir2.exe in the folder, you can set the name of ur exe in the ini file.

It can be set up to use mirrors easily

Sounds great and looks great, should get used alot by everyone who runs a server.

Nice work Stephen

what does it use to work out checksum of files? possible to post it here? I wrote ours in ASM in delphi to be fast, but I'd love to know if you have a faster one .

Looks good, what about the image though, is that changable without ****ing up the buttons? Cos currently it has gamepot written on it

 

[kyndigs]

That image is a browser, you can set it to use your own news page

As for checksum, i used this.

using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

private static string GetChecksum(string file)
{
    using (FileStream stream = File.OpenRead(file))
    {
        SHA256Managed sha = new SHA256Managed();
        byte[] checksum = sha.ComputeHash(stream);
        return BitConverter.ToString(checksum).Replace("-", String.Empty);
    }
}

I think this is useful for all:

http://mirfiles.syshalt.net/mir2/tools/Autopatch.rar

this is a gzip archiver for the wil files, coded by Leocrasher

- auto-archive the wils
- generates !plist.lst file.

Kyndigs please use 2 buttons , 1 to make uptodate , and other 1 for to dont make uptodate automaticly.... why? If u want to play and have a Sabuk war must stay 2 long for up-to-date. Is not necessary all the time to make up to date from server to the files. :ghug:

I wait your realise , and thanks you, for your working !!!

@ripy we dont need other peoples work , we have it this from the past, Leocrasher realise. Exist and Kaory autopacher, but is interesting this one! And we want to improve this realise.

We wait Kyndy!!! :ghug:
