Players have to keep deleting the "server.dat" in order to patch again.. What's the other way so they dont have to keep deleting the "server.dat" and just patch when there are changes.

server.dat? what is it? I can't found it on my RO.. is that a file of a patcher?

You can try to send a patch to them and replace their server.dat file.

Hope it helps...

no it doesn't help that winz cause if you overwrite the files thor pathcer wont patch it again cause .dat is already done into that patch i hope you got what i mean by this

so everytime you had a patch that has a same file name thor patcher wouldn't patch them.

i guess aormin have a fix this

I assume you are using Thor Patcher.

In your plist.txt,

you should have something like this

1 patch1.thor
2 patch1b
3 patch2

the format is:

patchnumber<space>filename.thor

The patchnumber must be incremental, not necessarily by 1 though. Never repeat a number or else it won't patch and the users will have to delete the .dat file.

sample:

1 patch00001
2 patch00001
3 patch00001
4 patch00213
5 patch002131
10 patch00312
20 patch002231
21 patch0033
35 patch0022
50 patch00111
100 patch00222
101 patch001231
