[Request] Unified Installer

Gunney · 12-01-09, 05:17 PM

Now I realize that everyone comes from different walks of life, so all mods wouldnt be able to be included.. But, how about we try and create an installer of the core mods that are current. I personally remember that trying to install different mods was hell, so what I propose, is that we try and create an installer, which automatically installs the mods(and possibly some...material...

) Into the proper files... I think it would make it easier for people to get more mods, easier. Now im not sure how to create an installer, or I would do it myself. Its just something for yall to ponder....

you mean invent something like the "generic mod installer" that has already been in use for years?

Look here www.allaircraftarcade.com. At this site, exists what I am talking about. Through out the year, mods are released. So, instead of people downloading all the mods individually, one large pack is released, containing all of the mods, and automatically installs itself to the correct location. Saving time...and hair...noticed some of you are bald...

ahh, ok

hmmm, interesting idea but not everyone has a high speed internet for such a big download.

also with the large size of some of the downloads for sh3 and sh4 you could easily be looking at 4 or 5 gb size file pack for each game

But, what would need to be done, is to hyper compress the files, using WinRar. That would make things a tad quicker. It could also be hosted as a torrent, which would be quick when its first released...but would be slow a year after. But that would work for those who are generally active. Im just thinking aloud here, but I think it could be benificial, I know that Ill be gray by the time Im done modding my game, if I reinstall it.
