Auto-Updater

by Kyle Cook · in Torque Game Engine · 06/27/2006 (9:16 am) · 5 replies

I am looking for a resource that will automatically update the client from files on the server. I can't seem to find one with a valid link. If anyone would be so kind to direct me in the right direction here I would appreciate it greatly.

The MMO Kit has an auto-updater that Tom built. You can get info on it over at www.mydreamrpg.com

When Dave gets around to putting up the MD5File stuff as a resource, I *hopefully* will then be able to put it up as another resource here. :)

There are also a few other resources that might help, such as:
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=8040
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=4926

And also a very nice blog on the subject of Update Servers:
