Hey George, IDK about everyone else but one thing I always wanted to know how to do is be able to release a patch for my game. How would I have to build/structure my game in order to be able to release a patch of only the files changed as oppose to having to force the player to download a whole new version of my game?

Well, thats easy no? Just write down every file that has changed and but it into an Installer and install it over the old game. For me it works like this.

But what about a patch for PARTIAL files, like elements of a WRS ?

i can create a closed-source wrs patcher if anyone needs. (a commandline tool so you can run from your setup app?)

I dont need one myself. But to get back on-topic, I would like to see
the concepts and an example covered in the AUM's...

Maybe date a file and make a routine to check against it; and whatever doesnt jive then update? Not sure if that idea would be possible but this is definately something that would be very worthwhile after production.

@esper make your own thread  . So yea, are there any free DLLs out there that let you send a file to the players from the server? Just curious. I know I could spend 100euros for ANet but I'm rather happy with A7 multiplayer and I just want one more feature you know? Sending a file through 3dgs would be great or I guess even through FTP would be okay. Anyone know where I can get that extra functionality for free or for cheap?

Just write your own DLL that sends an HTTP Request to your website? It isn't that hard, and I'm sure that there are some high-level APIs to cover this for the people that don't like to work with sockets.
