So what is this AutoPatcher anyway?


In case you haven't been following us, the AutoPatcher is a bundle pack containing The AutoPatcher itself, and the AutoUpdater library.
The AutoPatcher is a tool in which you can setup the details of your softwzre and it will generate a log file with that information.
Once you've placed that log and your software online, you can the feed the location of that log file to the AutoUpdater library through a launcher program at you client's location, and the library will make sure your cliente always has the latest version of you software. Simple as pie.
You can read our last Posting on AutoPatcher to get a ltlle more in-depth into how it works. I think that's a good read.
Or ask us any question you have

How about the future of this product?


We're already planning the next version of AutoPatcher. The plan is to add more features that help you out. Planned features at the moment are:

  • Cleanup of old files that the application no loonger requires
  • Compression / Decompression of application files to reduce bandwidth usage during update
  • Upload of files through FTP directly from the Autopatcher
We have other plans, but this are the ones set in stone to happen in the near future.
So you can be sure this product will still be under development going forwaed.
Specially since we ourselfs will be using it in the future for our own releases.

When and where can i get it?


You can get it right now from our online store, for the low price of $49.99.
With it, you get a year free support and access to our private forum, in which you can place any question or share your knowledge with the community.
There is also a public forum, for anyone with any questions before deciding to buy.
We are availlable to you all.

Does this apply to T2D or just T3D? Are there any source code changes that need to be made or is this a stand-alone tool? Is this tool multi-platform?

this applyes to t3d, t2d, unity, udk, ogre and any other platform - even your home brew ones

It's a stand alone tool

for the forseable future though, Windows only
