Skin auto setup

Jul 14, 2007 Lord~spidey link
i had a pretty sweet idea for when the game gets bigger

simply a small program than when runned edits config.ini and extracts the skin in the vo folder

i`m not smart enought to do this but i felt like throwing this out for anyone who is :)

i know nothing of code :( maybe one day i will get into it

Find a copy of InstallShield or Wise Installer Software Developer Kits. You can make an installer out of either of those. For Windows at least, not too sure how to do it in other OSes.

yay i figured out a way

i made skin installV1.0.exe for windoze first time i ran it i crased explorer and had to restart it but i did many more trys and nothing hapened you can uninstall by opening the installer after installing

the only thing it does is extract the skin to your vo directory

now to tackle the hard part how to get it to modify config.ini

HELP hopefully i will figure out how to do it before someone makes me look like an idiot :)

WOOT it works to perfection i would reccomend backing up your config .ini but as far as i know it just adds skin=Lime_neon\
under the [vendetta] section

one hitch i could not find a way to find your vendetta directory
so its default to where windows is intalled in program files
but you can change where you installtso for me its C:\vendetta\Lime_neon

Enjoy :D

for some reason its huge 9 megs but wtf i doubt you don't have that much space :)
