Re: Fs2 Open Alternate Installer
To be honest I think the best thing to do is still to form a group and combine resources to make the best generic installer for all platforms rather than each person building and maintaining their own. Once you do that you have something you can go to the SCP with and say "Can you use this as your official installer"
My only problem with that is who's going to pay for the hosting? :P

I think something that looks like Hip's with the cross-platform functionality and ease of update of Turey's would be great.

If I could get it looking that good, I would.

why would an SCP error be considered as news? :wtf: *smacks Cobra*It's a feature.

Re: Fs2 Open Alternate Installer
I think making an installer has become the new cool thing to do. Like modelling was last year. :D

I think karajorma might be right. Although, I a meesly 1 GB bandwidth limit per day so I'm out. But I can't remember the site name and even I did I wouldn't tell you because the word will get out. The site is a upload that has (I think) unlimited bandwidth limit. :D ;) :pimp: just if I could remember it... :confused:

Re: Fs2 Open Alternate Installer
56k, or even AOLO, i think? i just got blazing fast dual channle whatever internet. upload rate is 100 meg in 5 minutes.what file do you need? mv_textures is over at fszmirror.com/files, along with a whole bunch of junk (which is sorrowfully marked with .old at the time.). i could provide hosting if i had a decent permanent upload.
That would be nice Takashi. I can email it to you maybe? ;)

Re: Fs2 Open Alternate Installer
i still am in need of a decent hosting site. so far the best ones that already have good resources are:

fszmirror.com/files/
axemspace.com/home/ (the JAD series mod)

and here. zshare wont work because it brings to to a page instead of a direct link.

File front is a good place it bring to a page instead of a direct link, but it has great service and a blazing fast upload and download rate.
ALSO:Fs2_Open is now on a new server with a lot more bandwidth. Fs2_Open(8.19MB)
EDIT: It is 56k user friendly.

Re: Fs2 Open Alternate Installer
that means there are small files or a cut down install, correct?

Re: Fs2 Open Alternate Installer
Mostly. It is a .exe. it make a shortcut for the game and installs automaticly in the right directory.
EDIT: I've made another alternative installer (not automatic) but it is in .7z format to unzip it, get 7-Zip here.
