Please Move to correct forum (no clue which is right one for this).

Im wondeirng if BHS would like to get its products listed on UPHPS Updater. In short its a service coming soon which basicaly tells users if a product needs patching. It also shows them products which they don't have currently installed. The only requirement (apart from being a CnC Product/Tool/Mod) is that the 'thing' must create registary enteys which store the current version (so the thing knows if its installed and what version its at)

More info and the beta client can be found in the Webbies (note: only registered users cna see it) forum here

what's the need? renguard has automatic updating built into it, so theres no need to list it somewhere...

Whats the need for Renguard? PPL can play on servers while ppl cheat.... There is no need for Fast food, no need for sports cars. No need for alot of things, yet they all bring something.

The only good thing about having the client listed would be that ppl who havn't got it would be able to find it off the list and download it with a few clicks.

Thats the goal of UPHPS Updater, to have as meny cnc mods and tools listed as possible allowing users to easily find the latest version of them.

Note: i said Products not 'Renguard'.

true, I always associate BHS with RG, and you didn't specifically say that.

From what you were saying I assumed this UPHPS service simply listed a load of patches and linked back to the programs main site for downloads, which in the case of renguard would not be nessicary as it is auto-updating.

For SSAOW and other projects it could prove useful I suppose..

Its basicaly a database with a nice interface. It can be used to keep apps/mods/whatever updated, working out the best 'patch path' for the user (aka it works out if it should just use patches, or if downloading the latest 'FULL' patch and then additional ones is smaller).

But it can also be used to show users what 'software' is avalible. What they have and havn't got installed. It doesn't have to be used as a updater service for each 'product' listed on it. Its basicaly a distributer and updater service.

The system downloads everything through its self (Resume supported), and after downloaded runs the download (unlesss specifyed not to in options so users can use AV apps on it).

if Renguard was to be listed, the system would be told not to update it (basicaly telling its self its version 0.0.0.0) but only download and install if the user doesn't have it installed and it would use Renguards current mirrors.
