True.He mean the Updater which update the game. The post you have linked is only to make an update only after you have use the Updater.
Thanks for your work with that script. It's an easy and fast solution. The only problem i see with a script like that is when the time is changed, which can happen when you have a blackout and you bios battery is not good anymore. Also changing time zones can be a problem (like summer winter time). Not say it will happen with that game, but people here are often use things like that elsewhere.
The best solution i found is to use hash sums to calculate the differnece. With that borked timestamps are no problem anymore. If you then use and actual patcher (that patching bytecode) instead of an simply pack the change files you will even save alot of space.
However all I wanted to do now was to write a basic no frills application to allow f95zone heroes, who update their games using the NLT Media Installer/Updater, to make incremental updates for others and post them on f95zone so people who update manually can play the latest version of the game pretty much straight away or at least as soon as possible.
Your solution didn't occur to me and is definitely more professional. Maybe when I've got the time I'll incorporate something like it in an improved version of my app and tidy up its pretty unstructured code.
Hopefully this will be helpful.
