Client Auto Updater! (Beta)
Client Auto Updater! (Beta)
So what would you guys think of a Client auto updater, so every time someone adds a little thing they wouldn't have to just make a new mpgh post. So I thought maybe a application that would auto update your client eveytime they added a new one would be extremely helpful. I am currently working one making it look better and some other bugs, I am not going to release until I finish it. (also I know it doesn't look great but it does its job, and I am trying to make it smaller and better looking 
Also if anyone else, has any sort of suggestion of another app or something I could make to benefit private server, feel free to lemme know

These aren't allowed on mpgh. 
My suggestion would to make it actually download the file instead of taking you to a download page in a mini-browser.

@krazyshank I whipped up something a little more towards what I want the finished product to be like. It downloads to wherever you put it desktop, folder etc.

Maybe take light blue text off the buttons? In fact, remove it all together. The blue isn't nice at all... No offence

And also, the host, that created the update, how does he send the the data to the player that has the updater? Or does it just check the same url every time? If so that might not be good, since i'm sure the link will change. Unless you found a way to keep the link the same.

Dim DLLink1 As String
DLLink1 = Trim(TextBox9.Text)
*replacing TextBox9 with whatever name of the textbox is*
I would say put that on button, and also put in where when clicked, TextBox9.Enabled = False, so the link can't be changed.
AND then make the Update button contact, instead of the URL you put in, DLLink1.
For example, I think this is what you did with the Update button:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://YOURRANDOMLINKDOTCOMSLASH")
Instead do this
WebBrowser1.Navigate(DLLink1)
So now the Host can change the download link to whatever.
But then you have the problem with not being able to open up the webbrowser on your program because of MPGH's rule.
Maybe direct download links can be worked in with this? Idk never made a program download a file.
Maybe @krazyshank can help. ^^
Just a idea.
I was aiming to make something like this, but I was coding it as a java application until I hit a brick wall of implementing SWF movies into a Java Application. Nothx.
