did i? i dont remember that
if you looking for a best protocol for your need, tell me what exactly you want to do?
it could be TCP/IP protocol, and if you want something faster wich is UDP protocol. but every protocol has his own limits. tell me exactly what stuff you want to do with it.
my app works under FTP and HTTP protocols.
Quote: "can your software handle a registry check to see if the user is valid as well before launching the game?"
what you mean if my app got a registry check?
you mean get into a registry of someone? i dont think its a good idea to mess with registry of other persons.
Quote: "Your software ...how does it work?"
erm. lemme try to explain it clearly.
as an a game developer (which is you); you creating an empty folder, inside that folder, you puting all the media files of your game that you wish to be "synced". all you do, is creating an account on my AdvUpdater app, following the steps on the "Wizard" mode either following the Youtube video i uploaded earlier.
the main result is all files that in that folder are uploaded to the main server. you creating a launcher out of the AdvUpdater, and you sending to everyone else (you dont have to create it over and over again, cuz the launcher only knows your account name, so he could connect to the same server and download all the files that been uploaded by you.)
And basicly thats all.
to apply new updates, you have to either replace or add new files to that project folder of yours. all the files will be uploaded automaticly, and all users will have your latest game files as soon as they run the Launcher you created.
also one more feature, if you wish that you dont want ppl to have your project files, you always can remove them from your local project folder. noone will be able to run your game/app again.
hopefully i explained my self clear enough. i assure you its safe and easy to use. even though i made it sound very complicated.
Quote: "eg. i could control the master list and the game checks to see if a user is on that list to be able to play... "
yes you can control exactly what files u want to be updated and what not.
just try the app with your self. see how it all works.
to learn how the app works, will need not more than 5 minutes.
good luck
let me know if you like it.
