Introducing a simple, easy-to-use update system for Blockland mods... Clients will be notified of updates when running either the Blockland client or the Blockland dedicated server.
Every add-on requires a file called "version.txt". This file contains a version number and the URL of a repository. Support_Updater will check the repository on startup to look for a newer version. When a new version is found, the user will be notified and will be able to download the new file.
Also includes support for change logs using special TML formatting.
Support_Updater Usage Documentation(or you can find it in the README file included with Support_Updater)
It's really that easy! Just remember that your users need to have Support_Updater installed. I recommend making it a required add-on.
Execute this file in your add-on's client.cs to automatically download Support_Updater for your users. http://mods.greek2me.us/storage/Support_Updater/Support_UpdaterDownload.cs
No website? No problem!If you don't own a website, you can still use Support_Updater. You'll need a free account on either Bitbucket or Github.
