Server checking to see if user has the latest client software. And if not, send them a new auto patching sequence from the database. A must-have feature for online commercial game...

:oops:

SmartFoxServer is mainly targeted at web-based games/MMOs where the auto-patching problem is almost non-existent. Each time a user launches the application he always gets the latest client version available from the game provider/developer.

So... sfs is not really a full-fledge MMO platform, and target only web-base one?

Other than Terracotta, which wasn't fully integrated into SFS yet, nothing else is supported for making major Title. I think I'm gonna go with other API then.

Thx for all the supports so far.

Uhh, patching clients + smartfoxserver is related how?

If you are making standalone apps, Adobe AIR already has a update framework which you could use for patching.

Auto patching should be independent on the client. I think what you can do is keep a record of your latest client version number in a database and have this version number available for users once they are logged in.

Then on your client, compare the version of the current client and the latest in your database. If it is newer, patch the files accordingly. The patching part, you will have to write your own.
