Started using libcurl which seems like an amazing library for fetching files from the internet. I have to write a game auto-update unit.

What auto-update method do you use? I use a temp bat file to replace the file, but it didn’t seems too reliable.
Auto-Update is a graet idea for us who don’t always get time to check online and compare which update is newer, and it is a very easy way to update. Just make sure you include a detailed change log, that comes in handy for modders. ๐
arthur: I have the whole game inside a DLL. So I’ll place the auto-updater in the exe. Call it before loading dynamically the DLL.
auto update = major win
Are you still releasing the game in 2009? Or something like “Will be ready by the end of this school year, kids!”?
get together with enesce and check if your auto-updater is more efficient than the one for soldat. if so use yours for soldat too! ๐
