MG Patcher

After a patch is downloaded it keeps getting stuck on Open "patch file"

The error that causes this is

Code (CSharp):

1. ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipException: Cannot find central directory
2.   at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipFile.ReadEntries () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
3.   at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipFile..ctor (System.IO.FileStream file) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
4. UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
5. MGPatcherClient.Core.MGPatcher:PatchProcess(List`1, String, Action`2)
6. MGPatcherClient.Core.<>c__DisplayClass1_0:<Patch>b__0()
7.  

I've tried using .patch and .zip and it didn't work.

 

Fixed itself when I just decided to use the normal Win/x86 path

For a longer path it was able to download but wasn't downloading properly only getting stuck at 9KB then decided to extract and that error above popped up.

Very nice asset, loving these features!

EDIT: I believe that zip error I was having was caused by accidentally using backslashes "\" and not forward slashes "/" in the path. I ended up using my longer HTTP path and it worked. My mistake from the start.

Another Edit: Only .zip works and .patch hangs on Open. I'll attach the output_log.txt file.

 

I just wanted to say, thank you for continuing to update this asset! I'm still experimenting with it but since you updated it and automated various processes everything is now working fine and it's a lot easier to use, especially with the new tutorial you posted, keep it up!

 

Thanks to all I try to fix bugs as quickly as possible. If you have suggestions for new features write!

 

Is it possible to manually patch in the current Standart 5.1 (similar to what we could do in earlier versions)?

Otherwise, is this a Pro feature and when will Pro be released?

 

Manually patch available in Pro version. The Pro version will be published in a few days

 

Hello I've tried to use your tool today and during the upload I have this problem :
http://hpics.li/94cfb33
"error 421 you can only have 2 simultanous connections."

It sounds like you use more than 1 connection and my provider doesn't want it :/

Can you do something ?

Furthermore the error I get when I try the client after uploading manually isn't explicit enough :
http://hpics.li/77904de
http://hpics.li/5984f61
( he doesn't give the address it's trying, I found where was the problem but an indication about the url used would be usefull )

Now when I'm trying to update with the client I got this error :

http://hpics.li/c3a4ec0

any idea ?

Thank you.

 

Hello,

i have a new problem. i dont know what this means..
The Version Numbers in the Updater is 0.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.2
Regards

 

I got this error when I didn't set the right name of the game in the build settings.

 

Thank you i will check it

 

Does MG Patcher support caching? Like if someone exits while its patching can he/she continue where it left off when application re-opens? If not Will this be supported later or is this a pro version feature?

Very interested in the pro version anyways, this is a great asset already!

 

Hello Again,

i really want to know, whats wrong here... i made a new Projekt from beginning, installed the asset, the first 2 patches are ok. then i copy some folders in to the projekt. 3rd patch. So i start the first version from the source folder, i got this error... i really hate this.

 

Try not to spam too much, you'll need to give him time to look through the code and replicate the error, that kind of thing doesn't happen in a day normally especially if it's a big project.

 

i didnt spam, i try first what MoDDiB told me. this is the feedback and means its doenst helps.. i spend a lot of time to find out. meaby the problem is, i delete the versions in the BuildSettings. So keep cool...

PS: Yes this is the problem, if you make a patch 1, 2 and 3. After this in the Buildsettings deleting Patch 3, and create patch 3 again,. then i got this error...

 

Hi all! Sorry for the late reply!! I was on vacation.

1. Don't start application from source folder.
2. Before create new "3" version delete Build folder.
3. Start application with administrator rules.

I disabled this support because it was causing problems. But I think I'll do a little different but will work also.

I'm working on a solution to these problems. Thanks for wait!!

 

Add me on Skype so you can test the fix!

 

MG Patcher Tools - Pro available https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/73864

 

Hello, Just got MG Patcher Pro.

Just wondering have you figured out how to download patches in Windows 10 without running admin mode?

 

This is possible if you use Separate!

 

Hi

Some questions.

I have been active for almost a year now. From what I read my version would now be the standart call.

My question is:

1) I have lost characteristics since I updated it to standart and took out its version pro?

2) How are they different? I have read but I am not very sure.

regards

 

Hello!!
Standart version close source code.
Pro version:
1. Open source code
2. DropBox+VisualStudio
3. Handmake patch
4. Selection of unused files.
5. Add new features will be only in Pro.

 

Then you should have made a new version in the asset store if you were going to change the feature set of previous purchases. As it stands you took away all of the features that we bought the product for and have thus crippled the software.

 

Hello! I can send the old version to everyone. As "New MGPatcherTools" there was a huge amount of code changes. I decided to close the source code. If you want to use old MGPatcher Tools - Pro please contact me by email.

 

Thanks for the Pro Version, makes things so much easier!

Just pointing out something in the Pro version (v1.0) , MGProgressPatch script needs to be renamed to ProgressPatch otherwise it won't compile. The class name in that script is still 'ProgressPatch'

Also .patch still doesn't open and gets stuck, that's ok .zip gets the job done!

 

Hi,
Would you have a look at the Hand patch please. There is a difference between how MGManualPatchWindow and MGMakePatch are using the source and destination folders. Manual requires a full path while MakePatch assembles its own.

Thanks.

 

Hello! MGManualPatchWindow use PatcherBuilder for create patch.

See this function

 

Just to report I have no idea about native mode and so on and I'm getting the exact same error as Anubis75, would someone mind doing a quick tutorial just to show me how to fix it all? As long as it's all functioning when the game is built I don't care too much about the more advanced options right now.

 

Still problems with Hand Patch (manual build)









Error:
Version folder C:\Unity Projects 5.4\SmartMan v2.0\MGPatcherBuilderContent\Win\x86\source\2.0.55 does not exist. Path: C:/Unity Projects 5.4/SmartMan v2.0/MGPatcherBuilderContent/Win/x86/source/C:\Unity Projects 5.4\SmartMan v2.0\MGPatcherBuilderContent\Win\x86\source\2.0.55

The problem is some of your paths get altered and others get passed as they are.

Would you run a test and see if a manual patch on 2 folders works as you expect and then advise on what I am doing wrong? I have spent a number of hours reassigning path variables without success.

I need manual patch as I have to add resources that are not included in the Unity build.

 

Hello! Thanks for find a bug!!!
For fix open MGManualPatchWindow.cs
Go to line 83 and replace:

Go to DrawFooter function and change this:

Open MGPatchBuilder.cs and change "addVersion" to "version2" in function CreatePatch

 

Somebody who has the same problem. Record a video. I can't get this error. I need to see under what conditions this happens.

 

Ah, much better, thanks. Just a note for others:
1) Add: using MGPatcherClient.core to MGManualPatchWindow.cs to access MGUtils
and
2) void DrawFooter() has changed to DrawFooter(string sourceFolder) as indicated above.

 

This is a problem with the MGPatcher demo scene. Fresh install of just MGPatcher Pro

The first error in the list is:
GameObject (named 'MGPatcher') references runtime script in scene file. Fixing!

another is:
The class named 'MGPatcherClient.Core.MGPatcher' is not derived from MonoBehaviour or ScriptableObject!

 

Still not working.
Please look at the MGPatcher demo scene, specifically MGPatcherCanvas gameobject. I believe the attached script should be MGProgressPatch



I can't find the error in the script. If I add:
using UnityEngine.UI (or make any other valid change)
then the script becomes temporarily valid. But when I run or save and re-enter the scene, the error above is shown again.

Possibly to do with:
mgpd=(MGPatcherData)Resources.Load("MGPatcherData"); //load information from MGPatcherData.asset
in MGPatcherControllVersion.CS
giving
InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.
even after moving the MGPatcherData.cs file to a Resources folder.

 

Thanks a lot all! Works fine!!!

 

I agree,
Your users have supported you, helped you - examine this forum how your users have helped you find bugs, who have tested the software and put in countless hours of work.
I have no problem if you do like many others do, Terrain composer for example they deprecated the old version but left it available to those who purchased it as it was on the last update and made a new version that needs to be purchased again.
I'm sorry but your code is buggie, without the source it is useless as you can see through out this forum. I can predict people who spend $20 to buy standart will be greatly disappointed and will not upgrade. You will be cutting sales not helping them by offering a low cost product.
I suggest making one last version of Standart, place the source into that version then deprecate it so others cannot purchase it but your customers can get it if they need it.

Thank you.

 

Unfortunately I have to get quite persistent now as well, is there any solution to problems with downloading patches? I'm going to post up a screenshot of my issue just in case it happens to be generating different error codes but the settings are all fine and it uploads correctly the downloader just doesn't seem to be working right.

I really hope this software isn't going to just be abandoned or anything because it was looking like a proper solution for patching.

Hello! I'm now working on implementing MG Patcher on the Mac Version. The problem is DirectoryNotFoundException, not being able to find .DS Store, I've tried to make sure I'm not missing these files but they're hidden and I've redone this a couple of times.

Is there a way to just skip a file if it can't find it? I'm using MG Patcher Pro v1.0.

Edit: The DirectoryNotFoundException is coming from MGPatcher.PatchProcess function. Also from GetMD5File function in FileEntry script, tried to use Try, Catch statements don't know exactly where it's coming from because this error only prints in the Mac Console and not the Unity Editor.

 

I look at one of these days

 

I get this when I try to add a version


IOException: Failed to Copy File / Directory from 'F:/Unity Game Projects/Patcher/MGPatcherBuilderContent/Win/x64/Build' to 'F:/Unity Game Projects/Patcher/MGPatcherBuilderContent/Win/x64/source/F:\Unity Game Projects\System Lords\Build\Windows'.

Hello! You have incorrectly configured! In the Add Version field set version name.
Path versions
Path patches
Not full path. Please see manual!

 

I had to delete the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll in order for prevent a error conflict with another asset I use.
hmm. well that sucks.
Is that file just used for compression? I'm in need of compression cause this is just going to be a self updater for my patcher that updates multiple games.
Is there away I can make your patcher not use the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll file?


Assets/Plugins/DarkPatcher/Dev/DarkPatcher/Compression/Compression.cs(52,60): error CS0433: The imported type `ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipOutputStream' is defined multiple times

 

I removed a dll file from the dark patcher asset. Now your asset works but Dark Patcher isn't working. Sigh.
I"m assuming this is used for compression? can I reroute around it on your asset?


Or maybe can I rename the file that your patcher uses and change where its being used. would that work?

 

So, I've tried multiple times to integrate patching into our very, very large (>20GB) project. I've tried DarkPatcher, P.A.T.C.H., and now MG Patcher, but there always appears to be some issue.

For MG Patcher, the new editor window-based documentation is nice, but it still leaves me with questions and unexplained parts of the workflow. I can't tell which parts are based on my own ignorance and misunderstanding, or if there are assumptions being made one way or another.

For example, is the intention for MG Patcher to be included in the main game project, even if it is set up to be a separate launcher? When I click the button to add a new version, is it automatically making a new build and patch based on my current build settings?

One of the things I like about other products is that I can make builds separately. Then, in a patcher-specific project, I can reference these builds to generate patches. I'd rather not tie my patch-making workflow into my build pipeline, especially when each build is >20GB and can take well over an hour to make.

Maybe it is the case that builds can be separate in MG Patcher, but I don't see where this is detailed/explained...?
