I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but should we make unofficial updates to the Tool Pack?
If you HAVE the abilities to enhance some of the tools in here go ahead, just send them to me, and maybe I could release an unofficial version: 1.6 or maybe 2.0.

Version 2.0(unofficial): Windows:GTP Installer
Linux: https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=4623.msg33232#msg33232 or use WINE.

I fully agree. Can I make thge windows version? It will have the GAM, the map editor, the export script, gleximal, the import script, the g3d viewer, and open to others.

Yes its a good idea, And arch you need G3D viewer and map editor.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #3 on:** 21 September 2009, 23:27:54 »

No my list only includes the things we'll add, we'll keep/update what's there.
I need someone to make Linux and MAC versions, but all of those things work under the latest wine: 1.1.29

No one's answered my question, so I'll go solo. I'll try and make this for hosting on the Glest Guide. While you can't tell from the current version, the new version's MDC has a 'other' catigory, which has the gam and stuff. Might be nicer to replace it, and I can update it myself. Of course, it all depends on when I'm online.

I could've uploaded today, but I can't find my damn flash drive!!! Great!

I better charge up my iPod and use it instead. Da-de-dum....

I'll ask you to make the Linux version if you can, because I'm pretty bad with those installer programs.

ElimiNator · « **Reply #6 on:** 22 September 2009, 14:55:48 »

Sure omega Ill make the linux one after you do the windows.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #7 on:** 22 September 2009, 15:02:53 »

Ok first send me everything over PM, I'll put it into a package and upload it.

ElimiNator · « **Reply #8 on:** 22 September 2009, 15:07:09 »

Arch? are you talking to me and is so why first send you everything over PM, for you to put into a package and upload it.?

-Archmage- · « **Reply #9 on:** 22 September 2009, 15:08:30 »

Wait nevermind, just make sure that each of you has the latest version of everything.

ElimiNator · « **Reply #10 on:** 22 September 2009, 15:09:39 »

OK can do.

BTW check your PMs

-Archmage- · « **Reply #11 on:** 22 September 2009, 20:32:08 »

Yes, ok, I have already responded!

Omega · « **Reply #12 on:** 23 September 2009, 18:56:15 »

I'll put it together tonight.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #13 on:** 23 September 2009, 20:09:46 »

Awesome!
Send the result of your efforts to me, so I can put it on the first post.

Omega · « **Reply #14 on:** 24 September 2009, 16:21:50 »

I'm, making two versions. One is an installer version that also adds start menu links and installs in the users documents folder (any windows OS). It will allow for more features and easier access.

Hey, everything works, and the installer also messes around with the registry for improved G3D and GBM support.

Size: ~6MB.

Will upload next time I get the chance. Probably sometime next week.

The installer is an exe, but because I added condition checks for all windows only functions, it should work for linux under an emulator (dunno about the links though). However, I would recommend that someone with linux and a decent internet can copy all the files installed into an archive for linux users (the only problem is how the executables are exes, but they should emulate better than the installer).

-Archmage- · « **Reply #17 on:** 26 September 2009, 00:35:29 »

Well, I have a Windows laptop, so could you upload the installer and send it to me for a good test.

Omega · « **Reply #18 on:** 26 September 2009, 00:40:09 »

Yeah. I'll upload straight to the public, but you can repost it for linux, ect;

-Archmage- · « **Reply #19 on:** 26 September 2009, 00:41:32 »

Well, for now I'm just going to put them into a 7-zipped pack with some nice instructions, and release that.

Omega · « **Reply #20 on:** 26 September 2009, 00:52:49 »

Up to you, although the MDC is hosting mine, though it'll have a link for yours in that MDC article 'for other OSes'.

Mine boasts improved G3D and GBM support, a HTML read me with instructions for each tool, clearly sorted folder based tool system, clean and simple installer for easy installation, start menu shortcuts for easy access, recommended shortcut settings for windows, clean and fast uninstaller for all tools with hard remove for unresposive tools, and the ability to install for all users. Oh, and the installer looks plain cool, with custom images.

I'm getting better with installers too. Trying to learn the TLC/Tk coding language to allow for MORE customization.

Alright, here's the windows release of the Glest Tools Pack v1 (yes, that's v1, since this is a separate file).

Downloaded.
I ran the installer on my Windows Vista(Premium) laptop, comments:

Pros:
It's very nice looking
Easy to use

Cons:
When you click finish or the "X" after the installation is done, it gives an error message:

Omega, please build those Linux installers.

Also, I think this topic should be stickied.

Omega · « **Reply #24 on:** 13 October 2009, 16:56:11 »

I'll post the linux installers if someone gives me linux versions of most of these programs (I know that GAM doesn't have one, emulators!).
