Create folder for game updates

Introduction

Intersect has an easy-to-use automatic update system to keep your game up-to-date fast and constantly.

Steps

  1. Create a folder named "updater" in the CMS public folder
  2. Download and put in this same folder the update.php file available here
  3. Download all the files of your game in the "updater" folder previously created
  4. When you need to update, replace / download the new files in the "updater" folder your game will be constantly updated.

How it works ?

The updater.php script will automatically generate the metadata for each file in your game.

When one of your files has a different hash and size, your game client will download these files and keep your entire game constantly updated without having to go through the manual technique :

Editor -> Tools -> Package Update

Everything will now be dynamically generated without having to go through the editor.

Important

The speed of downloads and the reliability of all updates depends on your web or vps server.

If you have created a github repository for your cms add this line in your .gitignore

/public/updater/
