Hi,
While continuing to code my Linux FS2 bash installer, I had and idea :
we could have mod net installers, which would be lists of files to get to install the mod (VPs, mod.ini, bmp, uncompressed folders...), their URLs and their checksums... All wrapped into a single zip file.
The new generation installers would only have to load these zip files, and would automatically retrieve all the good stuff. Installing big mods like Blue Planet could get easier, and moders could create some "single click installers" easilly (actually, the files i was testing today were pairs text files generated by md5sum * + a list of URLs, inside a single zip.)
No more manual md5 checking ! No more forgotten VPs ! No more wrong folder placing !
And if, in the long run, wxLauncher is to include a community mod browser/downloader, i think this may help...
That's just an idea i'm experimenting with, playing with my bash script installer... I wonder if someone else would be interested ?
