Unreal Updater ============= A C++ updater for UE4 games, built with Qt5, licensed under LGPL. Other game engines might work too. ![Screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arbonagw/UnrealUpdater/master/Launcher.jpg) Overview -------- Unreal Updater is a lightweight updater software, built with Qt5, to deploy your Unreal Engine game simply over anonymous FTP. It was developped for the free FPS [DeepVoid](http://deepvoid.eu/ "DeepVoid") and the space sim [Helium Rain](http://helium-rain.com), and is now available for everyone to use. Features : - game download, verification, and updating - installation of dependencies - download through FTP with anonymous or password-protected user User-side configuration files -------- There are currently a few configuration files in the *Config/* folder, created on startup. 1. *UU_Lock.setting* is generated on start and removed on exit to prevent multiple instances. Remove it if the launcher doesn't start. 2. *UU_Accepted.setting* is generated when the user accepts to install the game. 3. *UU_Installed.setting* is generated when the game's dependencies have been installed. How to use -------- The updater use a fresh installation of your game - you need to have a full deployed package of your game. The process will generate a file tree that you can use with this tool. 1. Rename the *Res_Sample/* into *Res/* and edit the images to match your project's look. 2. Edit *Res/project.h* to set your game name, FTP address, executable path... 3. Use QTCreator to build the updater. You **should** use a static build of Qt so that the updater is a single file, [see this guide](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14932315/how-to-compile-qt-5-under-windows-or-linux-32-or-64-bit-static-or-dynamic-on-v) to see how. 4. Create a ReleaseNotes.xml on your server to update the description on the updater main window. See below. 5. Create a GameManifest.xml on your server to tell the updater about the files you want. See below. 6. Your updater is ready, feel free to rename it and distribute it. ReleaseNotes.xml syntax -------- You can edit the file by hand. MajorRelease42 DDMMYY *Title* Text, text, text. GameManifest.xml syntax -------- You should probably use a tool for this. The syntax is very easy, but you will probably have a lot of files here. You can use my other tool, [Unreal Manifest](https://github.com/arbonagw/UnrealManifest) for this. Contact, people, etc -------- Unreal Updater is developped by Gwennal ARBONA.
