A tool to automatically archive patches from the official Silkroad Online. By default it will start by patching up from the current installer version to the live version and then continue to download patches incrementally. This is not by choice - it's simply only possible to download the latest version of a file from the patch server. This tool does the minimum required to download the patches, and as such does not even decompress the files. It also does not store any additional information provided by the patch server (e.g. if a file is marked as "inside pk2"), which should be easy to figure out manually.
This tool uses skrillax-network to handle connecting to the patch server and collecting the patch list. Downloading patch files is a simple http request to the patch host.
Right now, this tool "does the job" but obviously is not perfect. Some reasons:
- No proper error handling at all
- Metadata is thrown away, but might be good to have
Simply build it and then execute it:
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/silkroad-patch-archiverOr you can build the docker container:
$ docker build -t silkroad-patch-archiver .
$ docker run --rm silkroad-patch-archiverThe patches will be collected into a new patches subdir of the current working directory.
By creating a config.toml in the current directory, you can control two things, the current_version and the base_version.
Example config:
base_version = 635
current_version = 657The base_version is only really relevant when the tool is first started. It's the starting point for patching.
The current_version is the last version we've downloaded a patch for. This will be automatically updated by the tool once a new patch release has been downloaded, but can be manually adjusted to re-download or skip a download.
