A script for Farming Simulator 22 can be found here!

This package contains portable editions of Git and 7-Zip as well as a Batch script that

• checks Coursplay´s Github repository for the latest version,
• installs Courseplay (if it wasn´t formerly installed) to your FS17 mod folder,
• backups your current Courseplay in case of an update,
• updates your current Courseplay to the latest version from the Github repository.

Every Farming Simulator 2017 enthusiast should have a look at the famous mod Courseplay. If you are using Courseplay and want to be sure to always use the latest version, you should update your installation before playing, as there are frequent updates. This can be a quite complicated process if you want to be sure to have a backup of former versions.

1. Download the latest version of cpupdate_installer.exe.
2. Start the self-extracting installer archive 'cpupdate_installer.exe' and extract it to a folder of your choice. Don´t use your Program Files folder because the script has to write some temporary files in it´s installation folder.
3. Find cpupdate_portable.bat in the folder you extracted in the former step and send a link to your desktop.
4. Start cpupdate_portable.bat for an instant 1-click update.

(Fresh installation)

(Update installation)

With every Courseplay update cpupdate creates a backup of your former version. You can find it under your cpupdate directory (see step 2. above) in the subfolder .\cpbackup. Just extract the content to <your Farming Simulator mod folder>\ZZZ_Courseplay\. <your Farming Simulator mod folder> is usually under your Documents folder - my games - FarmingSimulator2017 - mods.

Just delete the directory you extracted the installer to (see step 2. above). Attention! You will loose your backup files, too.

If you have installed Git and 7-Zip on your computer, you can download only the script file cpupdate_portable.bat, open it in an text editor and set the path to Git and 7-Zip suiting your needs (Lines 45 - 46)

You can also set the default deployment mode from ZIPFILE to DIRECTORY if you like (Line 32 - 33).

In lines 39 - 40 you can toggle between "auto-close-behaviour" and "hit-a-key-before-closing-the-window-because-i-want-to-see-what-happened-mode".
