Title: Additional programs - Patcher and Archiver Post by: asdfth12 on July 15, 2011, 04:59:49 PM Patcher
Simply take one version and a higher version of the same programs, run this, and it'll make a patch to update the orginal file to whatever version the higher version was. (Basicly you take a V .02 and a V.5 of the same program. The patch will equal the diffrence between their sizes and can be applied to and version >.2 and <.5 to update it to V.5) Not really sure how diffrent versions of this file would work though. It could be 2 diffrent programs though. (One to create the patch, one to apply it) Archiver/Compressor Basicly it compresses a file into a smaller size. Like encryption, the file would be unusable until decompressed. Two diffrent programs, one to compress, the other to decompress.

It ruins research in a sense, the same way Steal Research File missions do now. I like the compressor however, I have suggested it before.

Like winrar ^^ Title: Re: Additional programs - Patcher and Archiver Post by: norill on July 16, 2011, 08:06:14 AM i like compressor too, but it was suggested many times.
but patcher is useless. you can just copy the file, cant you Title: Re: Additional programs - Patcher and Archiver Post by: AdmiringWorm on August 17, 2011, 05:20:29 PM I don't see the reason, it's a game not real life. patcher I agree to be useless. the compression would also be useless I believe, wouldn't compress enough I think

That's a valid argument. The points you made...are done on what basis? You're a total noob, what makes you think you even know what you're talking about? |
