Menu Option To download from a server
how could i code in a button in the menu to download lets say an update from a server?
Re: Menu Option To download from a server
That depends on what exactly you mean. Downloading an update directly? Redirecting to a website? Having the engine check some URL and display a message accordingly?
First outline what you want. Then start thinking about how to transfer that into code. Then start looking for places where you might be able to add such function. Then ask.

Re: Menu Option To download from a server
Like I said before, start from the beginning. Get a good, solid programming foundation before you try to accomplish complex tasks. Coding an "update" button would either require large amounts of engine programming, or a combination of engine programming and CSQC.thommoboy wrote:how could i code in a button in the menu to download lets say an update from a server?

Re: Menu Option To download from a server
This tutorial provides download functionality from the internet, you could alter it to download whatever you were wanting to update.

It would be a ton of a work and is in the realm of engine coding, not QuakeC.

If you are extremely persistent in it, yes. There is libcurl for PSP.

Re: Menu Option To download from a server
A better question ... is this kind of complexity a good investment in your own time for such a result?
And the follow up thought: if the above information is intimidating, perhaps evaluate whether or not a more reachable goal is in order. Some ideas require too much of investment in time for the kind of result. Sometimes it is better to discard an idea and work on something more practical.
I would suggest this idea, although possible, does not fall into the practical category.
