[glow=blue,2,300]● How to make your own updater:[/glow]

I have seen that a lot of people dont know how to make their own updater. Thats a really easy work and I will show you how to do it in this guide.

 

[glow=blue,2,300]● Programs:[/glow]

 

Wampserver: here

Updater files: here (you can find a lot of updaters, just search in forum)

 

[glow=blue,2,300]● Setuping wamp:[/glow]

 

The first step that we are going to do is install wampserver and then run it. Next to the time will appear an icon:

 

 

Now make click on it and go on Apache > Alias directories > Add an alias. This will open a new window:

 

 

 

Tipe website and press enter; Now type C:\wamp\www (the default location of wamp folder); screen must look like this:

 

 

Now press enter and apache services will be restarted.

Once we have donwloaded updater files, we can see that inside there are two folders: one for server side and one for client side.

 

We will start with client side:

 

Go on client folder and open updater or _settings (config file) and replace http://www.example.com for your IP or DNS:

 

 

NewsUrl=http://YourIP/updates/news/index.html ---> The adress where we will copy updater index.html

UpdatesUrl=http://YourIP/updates/ ---> The adress where we will copy updater files

 

Now we are going with server side:

 

Go on wamp > www and create a new folder called updates and inside it create a new one called news.

 

 

Paste here the files located in server > WebNews of the updater folder:

 

 

Now, to make our server files downloable by the updater, paste in client folder (in updater folder) your system/systextures... folders with the files you want the updater to download inside.

 

 

Go on server > upBuilder and execute upBuilder.

 

Search for client folder and press build.

 

 

NOTE: DONT TOUCH ANYTHING DURING UPBUILDER PROCESS OR IT WILL GET CRITICAL ERROR

 

 

After it has finished, it must appear: Done. X files packed

 

In the folder wamp > www > updates paste the files inside server > upBuilder > Upload (is not necessary to copy l2updater.exe and updater.ini)

 

 

Thats all, now go on client folder and execute L2Updater and it will start downloading your files.

 

 

Any doubts post here so we can help you.
