Update Checker
Posted: 04 May 2011, 11:10I created a small tool to manually check for new Patches.
Hope this is going to help new Users to stay updated.
I will include this at the next SCV Folder.
Usage:
1.)Move the .exe into your Magic folder (or type in the path directly).
2.)Start the tool
3.)The Tool will look for the LastWrite access of the "magic.exe" and handle it as the Patch version.(Year,Month,Day).
4.)If the magic.exe has been found a Button will appear. Clicking that Button will search online for the previous and the latest version (saved in .txt files on my webspace).
5.)Next to the latest/previous Version you may check the "status". It will compare the installed version with the new version.If your currently installed version is older than the Previous/Latest Patch then it will notify you that your version is out of date.
6.) You may click the blue "Links" below to open the Creation Topic and manually install from there.
This is the first version and will only provide you links to the Patch Topic / Latest Artwork Pack.
It is possible to directly compare files with ones on a server, but i don´t have access to a server right now, beside my small unreliable webspace.
If anyone is willing to Host the latest Manalink Version at a dedicated Server, then i could directly link to it.
In the meantime this is going to be everything the tool does for now.
Note: You might need to update to Net Framework 4 for it to work.
Any feedback/suggestions are welcome!
