What server was actually used by the client?

[Adam]

Question

I have multiple servers set up in my True Update project file. The problem is that I need to know what server was used by the client to get the server files. I want my server script to then download the patch/install file from the correct server.

Answer

1) Go to Client Screens -> Download Server Script -> On Start -> Line 146:

Look for this block of code

-- Break out of this loop if we succeeded
if(screen_globals.GotServerFiles) then
break;
end

Change to this:

-- Break out of this loop if we succeeded
if(screen_globals.GotServerFiles) then
ServerUsed = ServerName;
break;
end

2) Then go to Server Script -> Line 10-15:

if ServerUsed == "Server1" then
-- Server1 was used
g_SourceURL = "http://Server1/patch.exe";
else
-- Server2 was used
g_SourceURL = "http://Server2/patch.exe";
end

Of course this if statement could be expanded if you have more than 2 servers set up.
