Need to update your mods in the field?

Does anybody need to update some already-released mods but can't get them to everybody because RTB is gone?

As you might know, Slayer contains a rudimentary update system and is used by a large portion of the community. If someone writes a good, generic updater that can update any given mod, I'll ship it with the next version of Slayer so that we can get everybody back on the same page.

You guys discuss it, get it written, and I'll make it available.

Seems very dangerous, downloading something off the internet and executing it without being moderated.

Just wait until BAM.

No, I don't think you're understanding.

It would be pretty easy then.

Code: [Select]

> Slayer checks website

> Website says current version

> Slayer compares versions

> Slayer is outdated, downloads from website

> Slayer replaces GameMode_Slayer with the downloaded one

> Client is prompted to restart Blockland

Yes, exactly. Slayer already does that for itself. I'm offering to have Slayer do that for other people's add-ons temporarily, or to have Slayer install an update service for other add-ons, like Support_Updater or something.
