In wyBuild, go to File -> Properties -> Updates & server files and uncheck "Create a catch all update...".
Then wyBuild will only create patch files. (That is, it will compare your versions and generate the smallest possible patch.).
Changed files only
LeninHello,
I was wondering if there was a way to avoid having to include all of our client files for every single new update we create. We have a lot of files (in the gigs) and it takes a considerable amount of time to compress (even at compression set to min) all these files, even if only a single file has been changed or modified.
Is there a way to make the version updates only update "changed" files? In order to delete files, maybe we can set files in a "delete" state for specific versions.
Thank you
LeninOkay another issue is space.
1. Do we need to keep the PHYSICAL files of the previous versions?2. Can we simply update a single folder with our client files in it and then put those files into a new version?
Because if we keep having to make a copy of all our client files for every version we create, even if only 2 files were updated, we'll soon have a storage issue.
Thank you

Yes.

No, wyBuild needs the old versions so it can make patches from the old version to the newest version. In wyBuild 2.7.0 we'll be adding the ability to make incremental patches (instead of just direct patches as it is now), meaning you can get rid of your old versions.

3+ Terabyte harddrives are pretty cheap (around a hundred dollars last time I checked). But you're right, that why we're adding the incremental patch option in wyBuild 2.7
We want to get it out ASAP. We're still developing a few key features, though. I don't have a hard date for you.
