Problems solved by technology

This update system can automatically update the server-side software, but the content download methods such as Ftp, Rsync, and Scp are centered on the update server, and the update server completely provides update data for other game servers, so the performance of the download system is affected. The bandwidth of the update server is limited, and as the number of connected online game servers increases, the performance decreases linearly, which lengthens the time period of the server-side software update process of the entire game

Embodiment 1

[0027] A method for updating the version of the server-side software of an online game. First, a server for version updating and several clients are formed into a p2p downloading network; Each client to the update server starts the update process; the update process refers to that after the client program for version update accepts the update command, it downloads the version content resource and version configuration file to be updated from the p2p download network, and after the download is completed Perform version comparison according to the content definition of the version configuration file, and perform version update operation, and return the result to the server after the operation is completed.

[0028] The p2p network, the abbreviation of peer-to-peer, is peer-to-peer networking. In this network, there is no server / client concept in the traditional sense. Each individual participating in downloading and uploading in the network is called a peer. , a peer can establi...

Embodiment 2

[0043] The update system client program running on the network game server obtains the server version content resource and version configuration file to be updated from the p2p download network. Among them, the version configuration file is a variety of user-defined file system operations, such as creating (Create) files | directories, deleting (Remove) files | directories, updating (Update) files | directories, etc., through these file system operations, the new game The server program and game resources are updated to the original game server software.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of software version up for the network game server, which is characterized in that: the server and client compose a p2p download network; the renewal server transmits the renewal command to the each net game server through the connected client, start the renewal process; the client accept the renewal command, download content resources and version configuration files through the p2p download network, according to version configuration files define the content when complete the download, proceed the edition comparison and complete the operation of version up, and return the result when complete the operation. Using the p2p download network of the invention, the renewal server not directly provides complete download content for the game server, which can effectively relieve bandwidth burden, thus, the download speed of the whole renewal system content can be accelerated, the download cycle can be shortened and the operation quality of the net game can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of operation support of network online games, in particular to a method for updating the version of network game server-side software. Background technique [0002] The server-side software of a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) (consisting of execution programs, configuration files and other game resources, etc.) is usually deployed on a large number of computers that are physically separated and separated, and the number of online gamers can reach up to The scale of hundreds of units; during the operation of online games, the server-side software needs to be continuously updated to provide better game services. As an online game is an instant online network service, the length of its server update and maintenance time is an important factor affecting the overall service quality. If the maintenance time is too long, it will cause players to interrupt the game for a long time, and cannot obtain a good and conti...
