Autoupdater

[poe6man3]

Hello could somebody explain how the autoupdater works and stuff i need for it to work for example in otcv8

-- CONFIG
APP_NAME = "otclientv8" -- important, change it, it's name for config dir and files in appdata
APP_VERSION = 1337      -- client version for updater and login to indentify outdated client
DEFAULT_LAYOUT = "retro"

-- If you don't use updater or other service, set it to updater = ""
Services = {
  website = "http://************", -- currently not used
  updater = "http://************/api/updater.php",
  news = "http://************/api/news.php",
  stats = "",
  crash = "http://************/api/crash.php",
  feedback = "http://************/api/feedback.php"
}

-- Servers accept http login url or ip:port:version
Servers = {
  OTClientV8 = "http://************/api/login.php",
  OTClientV8proxy = "http://************/api/login.php?proxy=1",
  OTClientV8classic = "************:7171:1099",
  OTClientV8cwithfeatures = "************:7171:1099:25:30:80:90",
}
ALLOW_CUSTOM_SERVERS = true -- if true it will show option ANOTHER on server list
-- CONFIG END

for now i understand the first 3 things but the rest is a black magic is anybody that is acknowledged in this stuff help me out ?

Assuming you have the updater.php files and the rest.. You just set the ****** to your ip/.com address. Make sure the locations are correct for the files. The servers is what the players can connect to in the client.

If you are using tibia 11+ I believe you do:

Servers = {
     anyName = "http://YourWebsite/api/login.php"
}

if its any other you do

Servers = {
    anyName = "ip:port:clientVersion"
}

The other options are for specific cases which you probably dont need. The main question is have you downloaded the files for the updater that go into your website folder?

I know 0 about autoupdater but going on from what u said i get it like this

• i have to have website for it
• all my files from client have to be somewhere in the website
• and i just put the website adress into the updater

No, there is a set of files you need to download that has: updater.php, news.php, stats.php, crash.php, and feedback.php.
I am not sure where to get them but I spoke to Kondra and he said this should work for the updater.php or atleast you can make it work with it:

<?php
// CONFIG
$files_dir = "/var/www/otclient/files";
$files_url = "http://************/files";
$files_and_dirs = array("data", "modules", "layouts", "init.lua");
$checksum_file = "checksums.txt";
$checksum_update_interval = 30; // seconds
$binaries = array(
    "WIN32-WGL" => "otclient_dx.exe",
    "WIN32-EGL" => "otclient_gl.exe",
    "WIN32-WGL-GCC" => "otclient_gcc_dx.exe",
    "WIN32-EGL-GCC" => "otclient_gcc_gl.exe",
    "X11-GLX" => "otclient_linux",
    "X11-EGL" => "otclient_linux",
    "ANDROID-EGL" => "" // we can't update android binary
);
// CONFIG END
function sendError($error) {
    echo(json_encode(array("error" => $error)));
    die();
}
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));
//if(!$data) {
//    sendError("Invalid input data");
//}
$version = $data->version ?: 0; // APP_VERSION from init.lua
$build = $data->build ?: ""; // 2.4, 2.4.1, 2.5, etc
$os = $data->os ?: "unknown"; // android, windows, mac, linux, unknown
$platform = $data->platform ?: ""; // WIN32-WGL, X11-GLX, ANDROID-EGL, etc
$args = $data->args; // custom args when calling Updater.check()
$binary = $binaries[$platform] ?: "";
if($build != "3.1" && strpos($platform, "ANDROID") !== false) {
    sendError("Outdated client ($build).\nUinstall current client and then download new from:\nhttp://************/otclientv8.apk");
}
$forVersion = "";
if($args && $args->version) {
    $forVersion = strval($args->version);
}
$cache = null;
$cache_file = sys_get_temp_dir() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $checksum_file;
if (file_exists($cache_file) && (filemtime($cache_file) + $checksum_update_interval > time())) {
    $cache = json_decode(file_get_contents($cache_file), true);
}
if(!$cache) { // update cache
    $dir = realpath($files_dir);
    $rii = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($dir, FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS));
    $cache = array();
    foreach ($rii as $file) {
        if (!$file->isFile())
            continue;
        $path = str_replace($dir, '', $file->getPathname());
        $path = str_replace(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, '/', $path);
        $cache[$path] = hash_file("crc32b", $file->getPathname());
    }
    file_put_contents($cache_file . ".tmp", json_encode($cache));
    rename($cache_file . ".tmp", $cache_file);
}
$ret = array("url" => $files_url, "files" => array(), "keepFiles" => empty($forVersion) ? false : true);
foreach($cache as $file => $checksum) {
    $base = trim(explode("/", ltrim($file, "/"))[0]);
    if(strpos($file, "data/things") !== false && (empty($forVersion) || strpos($file, $forVersion) === false)) {
        continue;
    }
    if(in_array($base, $files_and_dirs)) {
        $ret["files"][$file] = $checksum;
    }
    if($base == $binary && !empty($binary)) {
        $ret["binary"] = array("file" => $file, "checksum" => $checksum);
    }
}
echo(json_encode($ret, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
?>

So you would create a file in yourwebsite/api folder name it updater.php and add that code to it. The rest you have to make manually unless you can find the files.

Services = {
  website = "http://yourwebsite.com", -- currently not used
  updater = "http://yourwebsite.com/api/updater.php",
  news = "http://yourwebsite.com/api/news.php",
  stats = "",
  crash = "http://yourwebsite.com/api/crash.php",
  feedback = "http://yourwebsite.com/api/feedback.php"
}

Hopefully that makes it easier to understand. You only need the updater.php code/file above to make the updater work. The files you want to update would be in your website in the location:

$files_url = "http://************/files";

Got it thank you very much ^^

No problem, its confusing because half of the code needed isnt there haha. You have the client side and nothing for the website.
