Update-Script

[{_AntiFreak_}]

Hello,

How can i write an Updater like in GUS to update a Script

[kevuwk]

know a little about socket and http requests and probably just look at the script a little, wasn't really that hard to make

[Oli]

just rip it out the GUS or GRS script.. its not that hard.. infact thinking about it u could rip it right out of mtama

[{_AntiFreak_}]

But if I Copy it out of the GUS, it will Update my OWN Script to The new GUS. And it will delete my own Script

[*SmartiE*]

you need to edit the script to link to your script host..

But, i don't know how to do This

Or rip it out, change a line and say that it's yours like Sanzor(Lil'San^,^u<3) always does. (Further don't forget to post it on the forum as yours, Sanzor-style)

ok, i'll try to do it.

and if it doesn't work, i'll stop it.

What means

        if ($exists($scriptdir $+ %b)) && ($md5($scriptdir $+ %b,2) != $readini(gus.update.tmp,n,%b,md5)) { 

and

    if ($md5(%a $+ .tmp,2) != $readini(gus.update.tmp,n,%a,md5)) { 

???

What is md5?

for GUS, the gus.tmp looks like this:

[info] 
Script=MTA:mA:GUS 
Author=Tommis 
[mtagus.mrc] 
Version=x16 Final 
md5=bf6357aba17fd5b6c16caf4851e9d294                       <---There is "md5" 
Info=Update Now, Final Version! Faster, more efficient. 
Size=55629 
[gus.ico] 
Version=1.0 
md5=4b55c31209731185ee6c44919935e668                      <---And here, too. What means it? 
Info=Icon 
Size=1406

it checks whether the file is there, if it is, it then gets the md5 checksum from the webserver and compares it with that of the file that is currently on your pc, if they match it is fine, if they don't, it will download it from the webserver

read more about md5 here

[{_AntiFreak_}]

so, if i Change the md5-number on my Webspace, it will update, and if not, it will not update the Script?

[kevuwk]

you would generate the md5 checksum when you have a new version then put it in that file, gus had a webpage that generated the .tmp file itself, you just put the version and info into a webpage, i would release the source but i can't remember who actually made it

[{_AntiFreak_}]

the gus.tmp-file and some other Script-Files are in http://mta-xe.com/gus/

[kevuwk]

yes, but there is a php file somewhere else on the site that will generate the gus.tmp file when you go to it, you can also just make a mirc script to do this aswell

[{_AntiFreak_}]

i cant find this Page. Can you tell me how generate this md5-Code with an mIRC-Script?

[lil Toady]

$md5(YOUR_SCRIPT_DIR_HERE,2)

[{_AntiFreak_}]

can i write $scriptdir instead of C:\Program Files\General Use Scripts\ ?

[lil Toady]

yes, don't forget the file name though

[{_AntiFreak_}]

Yeah, it works!

Thank you for help.
