API and customizations

Use your own downloader

You can implement your own downloader for your Launcher, if needed. Just implement IDownloader interface in your own class as following:

public sealed class MyDownloader : MHLab.Patch.Core.Client.IO.IDownloader
{
    // The code to implement IDownloader
}

then inject it into the Updater/Repairer/PatcherUpdater:

// This is taken from Launcher.cs, Initialize method.
_updater = new Updater(_context);
_updater.Downloader.DownloadComplete += DownloadComplete;
_updater.Downloader.ProgressChanged += DownloadProgressChanged;

Use your own logger

You can implement your own logger for your Launcher, if needed. Just implement ILogger interface in your own class as following:

public sealed class MyLogger : MHLab.Patch.Core.Loggers.ILogger
{
    // The code to implement ILogger
}

then inject it into the UpdatingContext:

// This is taken from Launcher.cs, Initialize method.
_context = new UpdatingContext(settings, progress);
_context.Logger = new MyLogger

Checking if an update is available

Normally the Launcher automatically starts the updating process, but for your convenience (and for customization purposes) the UpdatingContext exposes IsUpdateAvailable method. It returns a bool if a new patch exists for the game.

Warning

If you call IsUpdateAvailable before the UpdatingContext's Initialize, you will get an exception.
