Hyperbyte

Welcome to the Hyperbyte Github Repository.
Since I used some open source codes to develop this, I decided to make it open source too.
It's realiable since it download patches one by one. In case of failures, it tries to download again.
This is an auto updater for general types of softwares.

Requirements

• .Net Framework 4.5 or higher
• Network Connection
• Web Server

How to

1. Program.cs (Autoupdater and selfupdater)

    > Here you can enable or disable the Notice Panel of the auto updater
    > (false = disable | true = enable)
    private static bool enableNotice = false;
    
    > Here you can set your Autoupdater window's title
    private static string windowTitle = "Hyperbyte Patcher";
    
    > Here you can set the executable's name that will be started once the patch process is completed
    private static string appExecutable = "MyApp.exe";
    private static string appArguments = "-l 3";
    
    > Here you MUST set the value of patcherExecutable variable to the autoupdater's executable name
    > It must be EXACTLY the same!
    private static string patcherExecutable = "hyperbytepatcher.exe";
    private static string patcherArguments = "";

2. App.config

    > Here you must set to the url where it has the packages to download
    <add key="patchesWebPath" value="http://huenato-club.umbler.net/hyperbyte/patch/" />

3. Compile your project

4. About the web server, in the url that you set in your App.config, you must have these files

• patchlist, notice (basically its a txt without format - PS: notice will only be loaded if you set enableNotice to true -) and packages in .zip (you can compress using Windows's default zip compressor).

• Write the files that must be downloaded in patchlist file, ordered by numbers

• Separete the number from the package name with tab

    Line 1. 100 pkg01.zip
    Line 2. 101 pkg01_fix.zip
    Line 3. 102 pkg02_new.zip
    Line 4. 103 patcher_update01.hyp
  

• .hyp files will be loaded by the selfupdater programm to update the auto updater

• To make a .hyp file, just compress the new patcher executable with zip and rename the format to .hyp

• Once updated, the selfupdater will restart the patcher

• All files downloaded by the patcher will be extracted to the same folder where it is running

• Extracted files will overwrite duplicate files

• There are some examples in www folder of this repository
