Combat Arms Clean REZ Downloader with Updater!

[yodaliketaco]

No .exe files allowed in this section. I had my program moved for that reason.

A .rez downloader is ok .

Well, its not a hack, so an auto updater only saves time, therefore it couldnt be a VIP feature since there are no VIP mods.

Thing is that if a program have an auto-updater, the poster can make you download a virus while you think it is an update...

Ok guys read this:

Technically the program doesn't update. If you download it, you'll notice there are two folders other than program itself. A "New Version" folder and "Current Verion" folder. In the FTP server where you're downloading the REZ files from, there's a txt file called "version.txt"

When the program executes, it will download the version.txt from the server and put it in the "New Version" folder. After it finishes downloading, it checks the version.txt in the "New Version" folder and "Current Version" folder. If the new version is greater than the current version, a message box will pop up informing you that the REZ files have been updated. If the versions are the same, it will simply say that there are no updated files. If your current version is somehow greater then the new version, it will tell you that it is greater and it will downgrade your current version.

I could make one where the program itself updates itself, but that would involve downloading a new EXE at every update. Which would be hard on me too because I would have to make a new one everytime. Plus you guys would be on virus alert lol.
This method is easier and safer

If you understand Visual Basic language and want to see the source code, you must have 500+ posts or be an MPGH staff member.

Need 500 Posts do download that ? i only need to fix my melee~

Read carefully. You only need the 500+ if you want to see the source code I used.

Can this be stickied please?

It says you need 500+ posts to view the source code, if you have the source code you can get rid of all the anti-leech stuff and put in your own

I like it very nifty program ^^
