What's the point of addons then?
Ultifd: Do you want help from the Constellus Team, or GAE Team? Take your pick.
My opinion with addons won't change, it doesn't change whether it works or not. I also find Git-Master to be more stable than 0.3.2. (And I have the same problems with 0.3.2) (Same thing with MG.) You guys should try building either, I'm sure you would find the same thing. Quote from: -Archmage- on 18 April 2011, 21:41:12Ultifd: Do you want help from the Constellus Team, or GAE Team? Take your pick. You asked what was the problem, so I answered. I don't really want help from anybody now...already asked them. I'll just wait for the addon manager or something. That should fix it.
Addons are working flawlessly for me in git-master. Are you building with -DGAE_USE_PHYSFS=ON for cmake?
Others don't...
I'll probably add some kind of packager in the addon manager as it seems to be more difficult than i imagined. Then you just need to hit a button with your pointer device and it throws an addon friendly zip file at you.
Perhaps there should be a manifest file that was talked about before to load as a proper addon.
I do hope you mean addon friendly 7-zip file. Zip is evil, and 7-zip is conveniently open source and well documented, so should be possible to make a compressor using existing libraries.
There are two formats for packaging mods, and these choices affect file size:ZIP compression is very portable, and suitable even for Classic Glest usersZIP files will also take less space on GAE players harddisksXZ offers smaller downloads, but GAE users will use as much diskspaceas MG and Classic Glest users. XZ is intended to be used eventually by theautomated mod managing tools (which I plan to write).It offers better partial-update download sizes too, if you are making anupgrade of an existing mod. Power users will be able to use these filesmanually, but most Classic Glest players will be unsure what to do with them!(XZ takes a lot longer to pack, so if you are impatient go with ZIP)
