Cabal Online Updater
A sample game updater/launcher made for test servers. This code can be used as a starting point for building your custom better verion of the updater.
PS: Not all exceptions/issues have been gracefully handled. Hence be careful while using it on your live server!
Features
- 7zip (LZMA) compression used to keep patch files smaller in size.
- Has full check as well as patch check functionality.
- Target dot net version is 2.0 so that players need not install latest dot net frameworks in order to run the updater.
- Includes a patch generator to quickly build a patch for your game.
- Updater is very simple lightweight 297KB executable without unnecessary functionalities.
Basic Usage
- Open the solution in Visual Studio 2017 or above.
- Update the
PatchHost as well as WebHost variables in Updater project to your domain or IP address (It’s 127.0.0.1 by default) - Build both updater as well as patcher projects with x86 target platform.
- Open
CabalOnlinePatchGenerator.exe and generate patch twice. First time with all game files in the input directory and once done rename generated patch.ini to full.ini. Second time with only important files you want to check each time updater starts. - Upload all the generated files into the patch directory of your web server. In order to updater to work as intended
http://yourwebserver/patch/full.ini as well http://yourwebserver/patch/patch.ini should exist.
Known Issues
- As mentioned before not all errors have been handled properly and hence updater might crash if unhandled exception occurs.
- Sometime file download progress bar gets stuck while downloading files.
- Full check takes hours to finish if client folder has no previous cabal game files as multipart file download and multi-thread file processing has not been implemented yet.
