📂 Flyff File Mover

A simple, user-friendly Windows Forms (.NET / WinForms) utility designed to automate file transfers for Flyff (Fly For Fun) development and patch management. 🎛️

This tool dynamically reads custom source and destination pathways from a local JSON configuration file (path.json) and copies files across directories with automated directory creation and file overwriting.

🚀 Features

• 📦 Batch File Copying: Moves multiple files at once based on a structural list defined in an external configuration.
• 📁 Automated Directory Building: If a targeted destination folder structure doesn't exist yet, the tool handles creating the missing folders on the fly.
• 🔄 Forced Overwriting: Automatically overwrites existing files at the destination, making it seamless for rapid patching or development updates.
• 🖥️ UI Status Tracking: Displays clear visual updates on completion status or captures explicit error diagnostics straight to a status bar.

🛠️ What It Is & How It Works

During Flyff development (such as modifying resource structures, source adjustments, SFX/VFX tuning, or managing client/server synchronization), developers frequently need to move compiled binaries or assets (.res, .dll, .exe) from their project's build directory directly into their testing client or resource repository. Doing this manually is tedious and error-prone.

Flyff File Mover streamlines this process:

1. 🔍 Reads Config: When the execution button is clicked, it targets a configuration file named path.json.
2. 🧩 Deserializes Data: Utilizing the Newtonsoft.Json framework, it maps the JSON arrays down to strong-typed C# object paths (source and destination).
3. ⚙️ Validates & Executes: It iterates through each path setup, confirms destination directory safety, and copies the source files into place smoothly.

⚙️ Configuration Setup (path.json)

To let the file mover know which assets to manipulate, a file named path.json must exist in the same runtime folder as your compiled application binary.

Create a file named path.json and paste this structure, customizing the paths to match your local developer setup:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "source": "C:\\MyProjects\\Flyff_Source\\Output\\Neuz.exe",
      "destination": "C:\\Flyff_Client\\Neuz.exe"
    },
    {
      "source": "C:\\MyProjects\\Flyff_Source\\Output\\data.res",
      "destination": "C:\\Flyff_Client\\data.res"
    }
  ]
}
