To test on Windows, download nsis from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ and install that.
On Debian and friends, install the nsis package.
Download my install files here: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/dmaz/NexuizNSIS.zip
Read "Install" for building instructions.
Working Features:
- - Uninstall option to backup custom pk3's, screenshots, demos, videos
- Installer now downloads the game instead of containing it.
- All files from the zip are now installed (Why not?)
- Creates Desktop shortcut and Start Menu entries
- Creates uninstaller, and is also uninstallable through Add/Remove Programs
- Creates shortcuts to start Nexuiz using wgl or SDL, and Pro Mode, and to the documentation in the Start Menu
- Configures Windows Firewall to allow Nexuiz
- Kills any Nexuiz processes running during uninstall
To Do:
- - Add custom, Alientrap/Nexuiz branded graphics to replace placeholders
- Need a Game Definition dll for the Games Explorer
- Need a redirection link that will always point to the latest version of the game.
Features nearing completion:
- - Adds Nexuiz to Vista's new Games Explorer (Blocked by inclusion of the GDF)
