No, I said it's *almost* re-done; I'm working at max speed I can on this
code to process the comm speaches. Might all be done as soon as tomorrow or monday. I'll be done with the software in the next hour or two, then it's
on klauss' hands, so I can't give you a better prediction when it will be ready.
It depends on klauss' time and resources too. But it will probably be a day or two. So wait, don't announce the download yet on CNN. Just give us a day or two.
When we're done, klauss will update the tar in my server, and we'll let you know.
Try and get linux and mac installers working in the meantime.

supercool! Can't help you with those though... Cyberium did a very cool WCU intro at some point, but I lost it in a drive crash >_<

supercool! I say too. I finished the software for klauss, btw, so the ball is in his court now; I'll be working with mkruer on an sql experiment for a while.

There may be better options than NSIS. For instance, I'm fairly sure that Autopackage is more portable.

My word, you're totally right. I just assumed autopackage was cross-platform... I was so wrong!
So either a portable installer should be used [one that supports Win, Lin, and Mac] or somebody will have to create separate installers for each platform. Perhaps the latter option might be better in that platform-specific installers tackle platform specific eccentricities better [registry on Windows, dependencies on Linux, etc].

A single multi-platform installer would likely be a nightmare. VegaStrike itself is separated into Mac, Linux, and Win32. If it were possible to use one program to create those 3 different installers, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I think we're stuck using different programs for each installer.
Autopackage appears to be exactly what we want for the Linux installer. It checks dependencies, works with/around root access, provides a graphical uninstall option, etc...
So, thus far we have:
Linux - Autopackage
Win32 - NSIS (essentially complete)
Mac - No idea

Few more days; 2 more for comm sounds, maybe a couple more for a couple of engine tweaks.

The loki installer has been working nicely for the priv remake. (2 cents)

A few new ships, a couple of interface improvements, and a new tractor beam system which is more like wc3/4/priv.
Synced with 1.2.
