MAJ Pain.

If you downloaded NSIS.
I created AEE2.nsi script within NSIS\EXAMPLES\MODERN UI\...

I've sent to you AEE2.nsi

I put few graphical elements into NSIS\Contrib\Graphics\... (It's not so important for now)

Next, I copy/pasted code from AEE2.nsi into Modern.nsh located in NSIS\Contrib\zip2exe folder

Modern.nsh file is used to creation installer.


@ Finn.

This installer is killing me too :):).

or 4shared, they allow up to 2 gigs of download space on their site. I've uploaded some mods there (ones that only I had and the links were dead) that were around 500MB to 1.5 gigs.

why don't you try breaking up the installer into 2 rars? then upload them seperately so you wont reach that error since you'll be uploading 2 small files instead of 1 big one

I'm working on the installer so that everything will be simple and painless - one exe file to download and run. Files will be copied to correct directories, old map will be automatically deleted, and proper shortcuts will be created for you - all registered with Windows. We cut down the install steps to 2 simple parts:
1. Install and Patch R:TW BI v1.6
2. Run AEE Setup.exe
that's it :)

@Limes
Need a few things to complete setup program (besides the actual files and where they should go of course LOL :) ) - some graphics and a text file
Also if you want multiple icons you need to tell me index of each icon in the .ico file and where to use them.
I will send you the prototype script later tonight via Email (I go on Eastern Standard Time in the USA)
I will also update the installation instructions thread.

Installer itself is ready. Just need the source files and a couple of artistic touches from Limes.
I went ahead and emailed FileFront to see if they will help us out with our own page & ftp hosting. No reply yet. :( *sad

Sounds good. My installer by nullsoft is ready, but little thing that will delete old map files. Second thing I could not script (I'm not so good in scripting such things) is look of installer. The one I've made by use of "Click Team install maker" is good, fully customized: black popup, graphical elements, AEE logo, etc,etc. I wanted to do the same with new installer by nullsoft and...

almost all things that concerns look of installer wasn't achieved. Other things is functionality of nullsoft installer. I mean speed (AEE is installed within 5 minutes).

Tell me MAJ Pain whether your new installer is script for nullsoft compiler or it's sth completely new? Will I be able to use it? :):).

I'm waiting for your prototype script with great impatience... :).

My God. Limes. I'm not lemon tree product. One of the latin meaning of "limes" is "distinction" or "difference, "delimitation line or point", finally "CAESURA". :'D

@ Africanus.

No love for any man, but humanity :tongue: .

@ Spart

Installer I've made for you doesn't consist intro.

hey boss, check your email in a minute...
Scripting color themes for the installer is not worth imo because it can be overwritten by the user's Windows Theme.
I put instructions for finishing the code in the email.
I got a little confused and thought you wanted me to compile the script with the files. The script will be in the email.
HAVE FUN!

Hi.

I said that I compiled installer with banners, header, license text, etc. The only shortage is that I don't know yet how to create executable command that will automatically delete map.rwm files. In the meantime you offered that you'll write script. :). So, I'm happy.

Compiling script with files requires files :) or list of files. Sending 1,4 gb is not technically possible. Creation of pure list of thousands AEE files is not pleasure, too, unless you know how to list full path AEE files to text file. I like simple solutions :).
