Spring RTS Engine

before you try to install: this is a test-release, the installed game currently doesn't work, a fix is in progress!

i've created a customizeable installer https://github.com/spring/springinstaller/

nearly everything is configuread by a .ini file: what is download, where it is installed, what links are created, which file is extracted, name/descriptions of sections...

see https://github.com/spring/springinstall ... taller.ini for a full-featured example, whats possible.

The todo: https://github.com/spring/springinstall ... aster/TODO

expect bugs!

currently known bugs: installation of spring is broken, because the base_content is missing some files, but should be fixed soon (patch is already commited, i'm only waiting for an other fix that is needed for that)

to test a already customized version, try this:

http://springfiles.com/system/files/dow ... -setup.exe


please report feedback here, at the issues-tracker or pm me :)

AWESOME!

Why hasn't this thread exploded in love?

Also, does it support executing commands (like rapid for example)?

yep, it already uses rapid to install games. currently rapid is broken, i hope tobi (or the person who can) fixes it.

see https://github.com/tvo/rapid/issues#issue/21 for updates of that.

edit: i put a temp-fix on http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-ba ... downloader

Wow - this looks very promising.

Just one thing - if a desktop firewall blocks/delays temporary (until the permission is set) the installer it will abort the installation at once. A delay or a try-again-dialog would be nice.

i've updated the installer, uninstalling should work now

@azaremoth: thanks, fixed, a retry yes-no messagebox is now shown.
