DH, GW 5 Installer Info and Revision and errors..
« on: March 21, 2005, 04:37:23 am »
Here is the URL for the installer.. Now 6.90MB

http://sfcx.no-ip.com/downloads/mirrors/Pestalence/GW5_Install.exe



Total Adjustments to original installer:

Installer will only install if OP + is installed first.. message gives DL location of OP + v4.0 and reason GW 5 installer not being able to install

MetaAssets install was ignored in the original installer, corrected.. shiplist and ftrlistlist files now installed to both MetaAssets and Assets\Specs

2 stock scripts were included which were not necessary, scripts removed for space

Batch files did not take into account the fact that a player may have NW scripts already installed, scripts are now backed up

Renamed desktop shortcuts for clairity

Dual installer compalation to get smallest possible size...

Tested for proper install/uninstall with the batch files and installer / uninstaller files

Installer will now auto setup the game to be in GW 5 mode when complete

desktop shortcuts now recognize which mode game is in and only swap files after checking mode

Added background image and first panel image into installer.. images stolen from Kroma's site.


Changes :

Removed invalid models from the original package.

Changed the file from Models_Credit.txt to model.siz for the OP + check as to be compatible with both the Modeled and Non Modeled package of OP +. Installer will still check to see if OP + is installed.

Original installer size reduced from 14.6 MB to 6.9 MB, a 7.7 MB savings on installer size.







Errors found in the shiplist:

Error: model is MISSING: assets/models/Andro/ships/acl.mod    A-VIK2

this should be

DH123/MODELS/Andro/ships/acl.mod    A-VIK2


Awaiting newer version of ftrlist and shiplist to revise installer again...

models tested with Firesoul's All Model Tester v1.00




Info updated below.

We are not keeping track of this stuff hear.

Uninstall previous versions of my installer using the GW5_Uninstall.exe then install this revised package.

Here is the URL for the installer.. Now 8.32 MB

Fighter Models Crossed checked with ftrlist and all models for fighters are now incorporated correctly per install.

Error: model is MISSING: assets/models/Andro/ships/acl.mod    A-VIK2

this should be

DH123/MODELS/Andro/ships/acl.mod    A-VIK2
