Auto-update feature for server-client
« on: February 27, 2009, 01:33:42 pm »
Wouldn't be great to have an auto-update feature in Soldat ? When you start the game you get a message "New version detected, do you want to update ?" You click "Ok" and you are up to date. Server could also be updated like BE does, through some central server. This would be excellent for hotfixes and small bugs fixes, no need to wait for a release.

I think that's a nice idea. I don't want to have to enter a server just to get my BattlEye updated, I'd rather have the BattlEye downloaded the instant I get into Soldat.

I think the client already does that. The server doesn't, though.

Well, I remember 1.4.x having it occur (when an update was released, a popup box would appear saying "download the new version! :D").

There is a version.txt in the soldatfolder which looks like it's for that case.
Soldat uses AutoUpgrader Pro for that.
