ARMA / Auto Patch Installers - Client Game Updates

[DJSean00]

Dear Community,

 

I have a quick question on how you "package" an update for a game like ARMA. The BETA patches have a self installer that gives you no options on pointing it to a location, it finds your master game install for example Steamapps in program files and the installs it.

 

I've tried looking for an application that can look at a folder and list the last modified files in the hope I could copy them out into a patch folder to then use in TCAdmin but that's not working very well.

 

Could someone shed some light on how to manage this in a TCAdmin environment and have that same patch applied to customers copies?

 

Cheers in advance

Sean

Start the installer, it will check for you game (and CD Key for older versions) on initial startup. Once you are to the screen that shows the status of the install, move your game install and click install on the patch window.

 

Done, zip it and make a patch via tcadmin.
