When you change the updatehost and the updater isn't working it is most likely because your new updatehost isn't set up correctly. The directory where the updatehost points to must contain:
-news.txt: the newstext
-resources2.txt: a text file listing all updates and their adler32 checksums (we use a php script to auto-generate this)
-all the updates as zip archives
When you post your update URL I could take a look at it and try to find out what you did wrong.

We do not use PHP to auto-generate this, but instead rely on errors in the client log to show us the values they should be, and then enter this in the resources2.txt file (one at a time). Nice idea about the PHP script though.

then what is the resource2.php doing in the updatehost folder?

ok it is working but how can i change that the game did not generate a news Folder outside the root TMW Folder where the exe was?
I dont want a seperate folder in my private Documents.
And how can i change that the Installation made a right config.xml File with my update or new path?

hmm. i think nobody understand what i want
The Installation of TMW creates a folder in my privtae dokuments where the updates and the config.xml where placed in.
I dont want that the TMW Installation do this. i want a Update folder in the main installation folder of TMW where the exe was.
How can i do such things?

The only way is modifying the source code.

For what do you need a compiled tmwserv?
It isn't developed far enough to host a game worth playing. When you want to help with the development you should be able to compile it yourself. When you don't want to help with the development tmwserv has no use for you yet.
We will provide precompiled packages of tmwserv as soon as it becomes useful.

Sending a set of headers to make sure the thing isn't cached by evil proxies:
Code: Select all
$ cat resources2.php
[?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
print file_get_contents ("resources2.txt");
