(App 7) Game Auto-Updater

[evil cabbage 9]

This is my 7th RMXP Utility - you guys really should surgically remove me from this computer.

 

To begin with, this is a little different to my other utilities, in that it can be used with any project - it does not have to be an RMXP project and also, there is no application that you use to create something, this is merely a pre-made application which you copy/paste into your project folder and configure to suit your needs.

 

Basically, it is a stub auto-updater for games and programs. It works by comparing the current version of the game (stored in an .ini file) to one on your website or server (which contains the version number of the newest version.) If these versions are different, then an update process will start.

 

Once this happens, a .zip file is downloaded (which you specify) and it's contents are extracted into the same directory as the updater (the root folder of your game). You are also able to change the splash screen that is shown during the update process.

 

Sorry if that explanation was a little confusing, but there is a manual and a demo included in the download.

PS: You may use and redistribute this program in any medium you like, as long as you do not reverse engineer the program.

VX will work on it too. Any program really. Or, thats what I got out of it anyways.
