Howdy, all! Uberetzung is getting close enough that it is time to start thinking about packaging.
Previously, stable releases for windows were made of thee files ohrrpgce-win-installer.exe ohrrpgce.zip (AKA custom.zip) ohrrpgce_play.zip the contents of the installer and the zip were about the same. ohrrpgce_play.zip was the minimal version with just game.exe and some text files. Here is what I envision for Ubersetzung and future releases: ohrrpgce-win-installer.exe This would be the biggest file. It would include game and custom and all support files, as well as the "import" subdirectory with some sample songs and sfx and fonts, and a copy of Vikings of Midgard (hopefully, if Fenrir is ready) I would expect this file to be fairly big. Probably bigger than 5 mb, but less than 10 mb. Then we would have: ohrrpgce.zip The minimalist distribution. It would just have game and custom and the stuff you need to run them. included Readme files would direct you where to download the sample music and sounds, and where do download Vikings of Midgard (and other games). I am not sure whether madplay+oggenc should be separate or included. This would probably be close to the same size it was for the Hasta-la-qb+ release, since the loss of game-qb and customqb will approximately make up for the new dll files. Then: ohrrpgce_play.zip Should probably go away. (or redirect to ohrrpgce.zip) Beyond those, I can see pros and cons to having other packaging. Are people going to want a minimalist windows installer? Are people going to want a full zip file including Vikings and all the import media? Does the benefit of extra choices outweigh the confusion of "which one do I donwload?" for new users? --- James Paige _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
