Hey guys!
if you note my previus posts about Ultimate storage and some other posts i made with questions like whats the best host for my needed services.. so i bought an "unlimited" host for my next project and yes. i know there is no such thing as unlimited but it says that they will provide the storage that needed for it, just like it says in the contract i signed.

anyways, i been working some days on an updater system for all your projects that allows u to put updates of your own games with ZERO clicks!! thats right! you heard me. zero clicks to put a new update online for people to use!

since its a beta testing program, i will write a short description about it. the longer description will be at the terms of use that i will add later.

Description:
Advanced Updater is a program that will sync ANY folder you want with the net. so next time someone tries to run your project, the latest files will be downloaded AUTOMATICLY!

How it works?
i will separate this topic to 2 different topics.
1) the Update Builder
2) the Launcher

Update Builder:
program that u register with chosen "game name" will gain u an access to update new files into the net.
all you do is selecting a random project folder so the program can "watch" the files (just like dropbox folder, if anyone familiar)
make run options, like; wich file you want to run after update finished and more. with this builder you creating the launcher it self for other peoples to use.

Launcher:
launcher is an app that you build from the Update Builder for all your clients. this one contains your game name (encrypted, noone can hack) and downloads ALL the synced files that were signed inside the builder it self.

it may all sounds complicated for you all, but its very simple to use.

the reason i posted it on tgc its because i am a game maker my self, and people just lack of knowlage how to make updates for your own games. or dont have the time or the online storage to do that.
so i offer this one for FREE.
i planning marketing it for small fee, but for now i will make it free for all as a beta!

its a fast way to create updates at real time for your games!
just put your new files into the synced folder, and let the other side launch the "launcher" (no need for recompiling the launcher again)

as a beta testing, i want to hear from you how do you like it, and if there any small twicks you would like to see here, tell me about them.

please report bugs, and wait for new versions i will release on that one.

i hope you all like it!

Version 0.02 Beta: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1802543/AdvUpdater/AdvUpdater(0.02beta).rar


as i said before! ENJOY!
please report bugs or new twicks that you want to make on it.


[Note]
i made a free account for 200 mb
but if you would like an unlimited size as a beta, that will be a good opertinety for me to check large files. if so, please submit your game name here so i can add you as a beta tester,
then next time you register, select Storage: Unlimited beta and your game name to register.

I helped Sergey test this and he has done rather an amazing job with it I think. I would definitely give it a go if you need any kind of automatic updates in your game. It makes the whole thing quick and painless to set up.

Ironically, I have my entire DBPro Projects folder shared in my Dropbox, and I made a Launcher that downloads updates from it.... Great minds think alike!

as i said.. it uses sync folder that you set up just like dropbox, but my up actually uses it to create updates for your games.
for every project you will need to make another account inside the advanced builder to manage it.
