Title: Risujin's Easy Windows Tremulous 1.1.0 to TJW Upgrade
Post by: Risujin on January 12, 2008, 07:31:59 pm
For anyone who is still not on the TJW-client bandwagon or just wants to get a server started quickly, here is the easiest patch you can apply to your game folder:

1.) Download either the EXE installer (http://pub.risujin.org/tremulous/tremulous-1.1.0-risujin-patch.exe) or the ZIP (http://pub.risujin.org/tremulous/tremulous-1.1.0-risujin-patch.zip)
2.) Install or extract to your Tremulous folder (preserve directory structure and overwrite)
3.) You're done!

Here is exactly what you get in the game patch:


Please refer to FAQs in the Servers section of the forum if you have problems or want additional features.

Risujin, thought of packaging this with Nullsoft Install?

Yes, that would probably make the patch even easier. I'll look into it.

Ooh! Make it even easier by having the installer download the patch!

Then you can use a loki installer for Linux and do the same thing.

If you're on Linux, you're too smart for this patch.

Thanks for pointing me toward the Nullsoft installer, Paradox. Worked like a charm. :)

Not really, there's a lot of new Linux users who don't understand the tjw version or any of that stuff.

I like NSIS, mainly because it is one of the few nullsoft products that doesnt suck ballsack.

Winamp used to be good, but in my opinion, VNC is way better now.

i take it the installer still requires you to run enable_downloads.bat to enable auto downloads? i cant imagine that many people doing that, esp. i they arent refered to it from this thread.

Those users also likely installed Tremulous as a package, which can't really be patched. Basically, we'd need to ask the Ubuntu and Debian maintainers to distribute the TJW binary instead of the 1.1.0 one. Their contact info is on the package pages.

The setting 'cl_allowDownload 0' is stored in the user's autogen.cfg for each mod. There is no way to find where this file is because it is buried in their user folder. I'm personally hoping they just click on that bat file out of sheer curiosity. The installer might be able to wipe out the autogen.cfg with a default one that has downloads on but I haven't worked it out yet.

This is pointless - we need a ***** official release.

Complaints go to the management.

I want an official release more than you (for the downloads thing) and this is as close as we're going to get. :-\

You won't have an official release so soon. You should be happy with the "unofficial releases". Their presence is more than welcome.

Anyway, NSIS is easy to use, and you have NISEdit that has a wizard to easily build your own packages with your custom icons.

Rezyn, NSIS allows you to run commands and files after install, IE you could run the commands from the bat file, or just run the bat file.

How do you think so many NSIS installers have a "Run this program" option.
Also, i think you can add files to the user directory with something like %APPDIR% for application data, but i am not sure of the exact string.

We could, in theory, replace the user's autogen.cfg and enable their downloads at the cost of resetting their binds and settings. I thought it was too intrusive to try though, so I just made a "enable_downloads.bat" people will eventually be curious enough to click on. Maybe I should have named it something more tempting, "god_mode_on_all_servers.bat".

No, but what i am saying is you can run batch file ish commands from NSIS, or even just run the batch file.
