Hey guys

I just wanted to know if it is possible to make an update system for your games. If anyone has ever played Warrock? They used an update client before the game launched to check for updates. Could I do the same thing with my FPS in FPSC, or would I have to do it outside FPSC.

Thanks

Could you recommend a program to use to code such a system? And maybe a program language? The first one that came to mind was XML. But that's probably wrong.

Any Windows based programming language can do this. Some people here use C based and Visual Basic to write front ends for their games. You would just need to add a routine to check a file on a website and see if that is the same file or file date as the one in the game. If not, then an update is available.

The forum provides a means to hide our true identity. Too bad we always screw up and let it be seen.
