MG Patcher

Got some strange problems with the updates.
I've build a few patches (1.0.0.0-1.0.0.3) on one computer. After that I've changed my workspace to another computer (both computers had windows 10 x64 and latest unity 5.4) and build another patches (1.0.0.4, 1.0.0.5).
Now if I'm trying to update from, for example, version 1.0.0.0, I'm getting stuck on updating to 1.0.0.4 , with an error.
But if I'm running an app with version 1.0.0.4, it updates normally without any problems to 1.0.0.5.
How can I solve this issue?

Here is the screenshot:

You copied the files from the folder MGPatcherBuilder->Win->x64->contents to another computer? If you run the application from the folder contents?

 

I haven't copied anything because I'm running the same project from one single external hdd

 

The fact that the program has no older versions to compare.

 

Hello!

We try to use the patcher, but always got en error. We can create the first patch, but after when we try to create the next (second) patch we got the error. You can see the error message on the attached images.

An other strange thing is, when I delete all version in the tool window and restart the unity, the tool see the versions again. I delete everything what is possibly cause this (Prefab setting, and files from MgPatcherBuilder directory and also from FTP), but the patcher tool always see...

 

I answered mail. The problem was the compile errors of the project. If someone will come out this error, check the error console. Thanks!

Hello!

I'm having brand new problems with his tool.

I make offline patches ... we saw it on page 5 of your forum. I have updated the tool to the current version and see that things work differently and has not updated its manual. For example is not the option "Scene setting" ...

Anyway, I try to do builds with its asset of my game, but the button "Play" does not load the scene of my game. I put a small video to know what I mean.

I beg you please help me, greetings.

 

Hello! Sorry for the late reply. The problem is easily solved. You have in global settings parameter "Index Start Scene" is in position 0.
This means that the function "LoadGameScene" will load 0 scene.

In your case you need to change 1 the parameter "Index Start Scene". Thanks a lot!

 

Hi! thanks for answer
I understand what you say but can not find the parameter "index start scene". Can you tell me where it is?
regards

 

expand the "Upload patch to server..." it is above the button "Create patches"

 

Ok. Thanks

Another thing...
How I can do that when click Update and finished updating, the game starts directly instead of having to manually close the initial window of your asset and then having to click the .exe of the application?

regards

 

This can be done but I suggest everyone to restart the game after updating.

 

Why? You can generate a bug?
It would be great for a next update your asset

 

Because after the program changes it should restart to avoid accidental errors. I can show you how to disable the restart.

 

If you please show me, I will test some projects.

Of what type of errors we would be talking about?

regards

 

The game may not load some objects. Wrong texture mapping and other bugs. Which will disappear after restarting the game. This occurs very rarely but is possible. Users may not like it.

 

Ok. Thanks

 

Add DropBox support

 

MG Patcher Tools - Pro NEW version 4.0.0.0

#AssetStore : u3d.as/cov
#Unity3D #Gamedev

 

Is this officially supported yet? A while ago I started customizing the patcher to fit my own needs so I haven't really kept up and I'm still running an older version, but if this still isn't possible I found a way to do it myself.

Let me know if you want me to explain how I did it.

 

I stopped updating after I added that functionality to my own code. We have to deploy that full game each time so we stopped pulling the updates in since it didn't have it built in. Would be nice if it was available now.

 

Hello! Why did you decide that this is not available. If you need patches start_version_1.0.0,start_version_1.1.0,etc. Select "DirectUpdate". If you need something else do the patches manually" Handmake"

 

Please write here

 

Level 11! Please review! It will greatly help me!

 

Create installer with MGPatcherTools

 

Hi,
I purchased MG Patcher some time ago. This is the first opportunity I have had to try it.
I am test at trivial update where I just change the version number.

It patches fine, sends to the server fine, and downloads the patch fine, but never gets past the following:



Can you tell me how to get around this error. Our program is running fine.

 

Can I request more updated tutorial videos (and or) documentation? It seems a bit outdated to me

 

Hello! You start the app from the "contents"? Please never start the game in the folder "contents". Make version again.

 

Hello!
Tutorial for build patches.

Tutorial for create patcher scene.

 

I had tried other locations. I remade the versions and tried from another location. Same problem



Edit: I removed most the scenes (12) and just left the first 3 (splash, login, menu). Still same problem at a different level. Tried changing file attributes, running as administrator with no success. The program is still running fine, just can't complete the patch.

 

Have you tried to update the patcher scene?

 

Note: Create file CurrentVersion (no extension) not CurrentVersion.txt as in video

 

All good.
Worked in your demo patcher scene using external launcher. Moved the problem internal update scene to its own scene (instead of being part of an existing panel) and fixed the above issue. Very happy with the MGPatcher now that I have a handle on how it all works. Thanks, Peter

 

Please review in the AssetStore

 

My user create and upload patch >4GB. WOW!

 

By the end of the week launched a beta test. New global update. To write leave application mihanocho@gmail.com. We accept everyone!

 

Beta test for what exactly?

 

New core. Update files bigest 4GB. A lot of improvements!

 

Getting an error... Looks like it's mixing up backwards and forward slashes? This is after downloading the patch from the server by the way.

Also, is it possible to only use FTP? Can I avoid exposing patches to a publicly visible HTTP address?

Also, my game uses an external data folder. I can use hand make to build patches taking this into account, but I'm at a loss on how I would go about creating the initial version...

 

Hello! All HTTP data, and others are not available to the user. They are stored directly in the GameBuild. For create start version hanmake. Create empty folder with name "start_version". And create patch start_version_1....patch. I recommend to wait for the new version. New stable kernel.

 

Hello,

I am trying your patch tool to create a separate patcher.
My problem is that the patcher is trying to download a file called:

TestGameExternal_0_0_0b_0_0_0.patch

but it should be trying to download the file on the server generated by the MG Patcher tool called:

TestGameExternal_start_version_0_0_0.patch

I have tried several times to change the CurrentVersion.txt file content to 'start_version' and editing the MGPatcher.asset Current_version_string to 'start_version'.

please advise

 

Hello! Check field "is_separate_program" In the "MGPatcherScript". Set this parameter to True.

 

Hi,

I managed to fix the issue.

The issue turned out to be the 'CurrentVersion.txt' file.
I created the file as per the documentation with the .txt extension but MGPatcherScript in your plugin reference 'CurrentVersion' without the .txt extension.

Also the text editor I used also seems to encode the file incorrectly as removing the .txt extension after the file had been created did not resolve the issue, the file had to be created without the extension from the text editor.
Maybe a Mac thing as I am building on an iMac for x64 for my tests.

The Separate Patcher now works like a charm and I have an internal and external patching tool working.

I will be working on getting a torrent version working next and once successful will leave an asset store review.

 

Hello! Now I'm working on a major update MG Patcher Tools. . I fixed all the shortcomings. I think you will enjoy the following update.
