Not being in such stuff... was it possible to have more than one server to load from? As you know, we mainly rely on mirrors.

swell, another app which would cause more confusion and possible screwed game installations ( faulty download ; broken files which cannot be checked after update ...etc.)
please stick with classic patch style or give us option to choose . regards Z

Depending upon the program used as the basis for the updater (rsync is one of the best bandwidth-wise as it only transfers changed files), nearly any number of mirrors could be provided. Using rsync or similar is usually as simple as distributing the sync software and including a short batch file, e.g. Code:
@echo off if not exist il2fb.exe goto :noexeerror echo Sync IL-2 1946 with mirror: echo 1 - http://www.jgzbv.de/downloads/IL2-46/ echo 2 - http://www.atomicgamer.com/files/IL2-46/ set /p mirror= Please enter mirror number: goto %mirror% :1 echo cwrsync -avz http://www.jgzbv.de/downloads/IL2-46/ ./ goto :eof :2 echo cwrsync -avz http://atomicgamer.com/files/IL2-46/ ./ goto :eof :noexeerror echo Please run from the main IL-2 1946 directory! However, if the mods have a more sophisticated updater built around this concept already that could possibly update itself and its own mirror list etc., I don't see why it wouldn't be easier to just use that providing the authors are happy for you to do so.

ED has gone the same way with the latest v1.2.1 of the DCS World.

Here's an example cobbled together which uses a mirrorlist.txt file:
Code:
@echo off set index=1 if not exist il2fb.exe goto :noexeerror echo Sync IL-2 1946 with mirror: setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f "tokens=*" %%f in (mirrorlist.txt) do ( set url!index!=%%f echo !index! - %%f set /a index=!index!+1 ) setlocal disabledelayedexpansion set /p selection= Please enter mirror number: set url%selection% >nul 2<&1 if errorlevel 1 ( echo Invalid number selected! pause goto :eof ) call :resolve %%url%selection%%% echo Selected mirror: %mirror% echo Replace this command with sync command for %mirror% pause goto :eof :resolve set mirror=%1 goto :eof :noexeerror echo Please run from the main IL-2 1946 directory! pause |
