Hello, I have a problem with this updater. I heard it’s supposed to be simple, but at some point, I think I did something wrong.

I already had file checking, downloading, etc., working normally on the new client, but it didn’t read the "mods" folder where I had added new content. This caused the new client not to download the modules from "mods." I started experimenting in various ways, and finally, it stopped downloading/checking for updates altogether.

i have Windows 10, TFS 1.4.2 / OTCv8

In my client.exe is same init.lua

Downloading etc was already working, but it wasn't downloading "mods" and I messed something up through trial and error. I would like to ask for support :D

website updates/updater.php

Updater API is running. Please send a POST request with valid JSON data.

When the uptader was working and downloading files, I had the following message:

i had in logs in game "ERROR: Unable to find module 'game_tasks' required by 'game_interface'" < game_task was in 'mods".
game_interface tried to look for it in "modules". I didn't want to move to "modules" because I have several things in "mods"

This reads only the data.zip, although I find it easier to dont pack it up and leave the files and folders how it is. Sometimes it wont really work how you want it.

I have the following, so it includes all folders etc.

"$files_and_dirs = array("init.lua", "data", "modules", "layouts", "mods");"

Next to that, thank @Michael Orsino for that, Windows uses \\ instead of /
So your "$files_dir <span>=</span> <span>"C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/UniServerZ/www/updates"</span><span>;</span> <span>//</span> Folder z plikami
"

Must be:

$files_dir <span>=</span> <span>"C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\UniServerZ\\www\\updates"</span><span>;</span> <span>//</span> Folder z plikami

Thank you, but that's probably not it. When I run clienta.exe, I don't even check for updates like before. If I delete something from the main clienta.exe folder, it does not download the fileacc.webp

$files_dir = "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\UniServerZ\\www\\updates";

doesnt work.

I think I didn't have a path with "\\" before when the uptader worked (but mods didn't find it)



in init.lua


LUA: 
if type(Services.updater) == 'string' and Services.updater:len() > 4

  and g_resources.isLoadedFromArchive() and g_modules.getModule("updater") then

  g_modules.ensureModuleLoaded("updater")

  return Updater.init(loadModules)

end

loadModules()

This doesn't force it to be data.zip ?

Did you encrypt the data.zip before running the client?
Did you place the files in the files folder in "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\UniServerZ\www\updates"?

As I wrote, I am trying to ensure that the uptader is not in .zip but in folders as on the screen
