List of ignored files in Build Loader

How it works

Build Loader allows you to create a list of ignored files. These files are added to the complete game build, but excluded from patches. It is needed when the game build contains files that can change during gameplay, for example, settings, user profiles, or save files. If these files are not added to the list of ignored files, Launcher detects a file integrity violation when updating the game and downloads the whole game again.

How to get it

To create a list of ignored files:

1. Create a JSON file.
2. Add to the created file the ignoring_files array with a list of relative paths (to the root directory of the game) to the ignored files.

{
   "ignoring_files":[
      “file1.bin”,
      “some_directory/file2.bin”
   ]
}

3. When initializing Build Loader or uploading your game build to the server, pass the –ignore-file-path <file_path> parameter, where <file_path> is the path to the file with the list of ignored files.
4. To enable use of the list of ignored files, pass the –use-ignore-file parameter when uploading your game build to the server.
