The SimplePatchTool wiki is referenced throughout this wiki.
- in Edit-Project Settings-Player, change Api Compatibility Level to .NET 2.0 or higher (i.e. don't use .NET 2.0 Subset or .NET Standard 2.0)
- (optional) in Edit-Project Settings-Player, enable Run In Background so that SimplePatchTool can continue running while the application is minimized/not focused
- integrate SimplePatchTool to your project
- build the Unity project
- create your first patch and push it to the server of your choice
- whenever you update the app, create another patch and push it to the server
- each time you push a new patch to the server, your clients will automatically fetch it and keep themselves up-to-date
- SelfPatchingAppDemo: quickly create and test a self patching app
- LauncherDemo: create a launcher that can update itself with self patching, in addition to patching and launching a separate main app
- MultiGameLauncherDemo: an example scene to demonstrate how you can use SimplePatchTool with your own Steam-like game hubs
- PatcherControlPanelDemo: test your patches with different configurations
Some of the example scenes use the PatcherUI prefab to show SimplePatchTool's progress to the user; feel free to use it in your own projects, as well:
This plugin uses SimplePatchTool's SimplePatchToolCore and SimplePatchToolSecurity modules without any modifications, so you can make any changes to these modules, rebuild them and replace the dll files at Plugins/SimplePatchTool/DLL with the updated ones.
