[VX] Game Patcher

[dastmo]

Sorry for the stupid question that you'll read, but I'm a total beginner.
1. How exactly am I suppoused to "Call Script: $scene = Scene_PatchMaker.new"?!
2. So this will make a patch file for the gamers to download, right???

EDIT: Excuse my bad english too... I'm bulgarian...

It's the Script event command, in the last page.
You just need to put the code in it.

2. So this will make a patch file for the gamers to download, right???

Exactly. It will create a .rvdata file and the script will recognize it if it's a legal authorized patch file.

I don't find such a script. I found Window_Command and Game_Event... where should this script be?!

EDIT: Maybe I should stick to writing storylines for other people. :lol:

You're not looking at the right place.
Create a new event, and add an event command. Then go into the last page of event commands and select 'Script'. A text window will open. Now you only need to copy/paste

$scene = Scene_PatchMaker.new

That's more like it... it works perfectly now. Thanks a lot!!! Now I must only wait for the sound patching system... let's hope it will be done soon.

I have a core for that ready, however I won't be able to add it to the patcher script for two months or so (Vacation + blown video card + Old SocketA motherboard)

Too bad... well, I'm still on the developing of the game, so I can wait a little.

Another problem appeared. I do what you said. It opnes the patch maker menu and I change the thing I need to "true" and hit finish. But when I open the folder, there is nothing there... why is that???
I think I made something wrong while putting the other two codes in their places. I put them as two different Materials in the script editor... was that right or as one of my favourite cartoon character says:
Ain't that cute... BUT IT'S WRONG!!!

 

[Yeyinde]

Patches are created in the game's root folder and not the Patch folder.

 

[dastmo]

Oh, yeah!!! After hours of headbanging in the wall above the laptop I finally understood how the patch maker works!!! Thanks a lot!!! :thumb:

I can remember a discussion I had with... I dunno her name, but one of the better known people in IRC... about what the whole charging-people-for-stuff-idea will change rmxp.org into... and what can I say, first page of this thread proves me right.

Either way, it's a very useful script, yet you always have to keep the dark side in mind, and like Me(tm) said, it looks like a huge hole in your game's natural firewall... if you'd find like a superior way to prevent people from changing the script (for example, make the patcher check for the character count, which value-it-should-be is included somewhere in the password), I'd definately approve of this, though, since it's one of those things that every game can benefit from no-matter what... just the kind of script I like.

I did update my security for the latest version.  I used a cryptographic hash based on a non-constant value, the password constant, and the order of the salt constant.  If the file is changed, this value gets altered and the hash becomes invalid.  I could factor in the character count/crc into the hash, though.

Nice script man!
but why doesn't it work to patch scripts?
I guess I could fix it myself but I'm too lazy right now to look through your code  :tongue:

(only happens when i use my patch in the folder)

Any chance of allowing graphics slash audio to be updated also?

Considering the member who made this script has been banned, I might be better if you made a support topic in RGSS/RGSS2 Support to get attention from other scriptors easier.
