Am thinking to create my own l2updater.

It will be an free tool as am planing .(no reason to sell it)

I need suggestions and ideas about features , you would like to see in it.

 

So ?

Dont know if you can do this in vb (at least not easy), there seems to be no way to crawl the url paths or detect the files and folders inside an http directory.I also thought about a way to bypass this by giving the user (that has access to the remote server) a tool that finds all files and folders in the directory he has the update and replacing the path (some like C:/Doc.../httpdocs/updatesrvfiles/) with (http://thesitename.smth/updatesrvfiles/*filenames* here) and so having a list of the files and folders.

 

Anyway if you have found a way I will be glad to help.

hmm , a multithreading downloader . . .

or a simple one that downloads system.zip and extracts , on the site , admin will have a text , if text contains v1 for example then file.Delete(C:/l2/system.zip)

and download & extract the new one .

Difficult ?

Thats not the way the other updaters work, but the way you mean it its easy to make it.

Just get winrar in command line edition to extract the files after you download them.
