[big][big]Update 2/12[/big][/big]

I've written a Powershell script to download softcoder's development build from

Code: [Select]

[url=http://w32.nightly.megaglest.org/nightly/megaglest-binary-win32-i386-3.8-dev.7z]http://w32.nightly.megaglest.org/nightly/megaglest-binary-win32-i386-3.8-dev.7z[/url]Note that this download only contains the executables and it will be located at %USERPROFILE%\MegaGlest_Dev

I'm still working on getting it to run when you start windows... but I haven't quite figured that out yet (will post when I get that working)

Code: [Select]

$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$wc.DownloadFile("http://w32.nightly.megaglest.org/nightly/megaglest-binary-win32-i386-3.8-dev.7z","$Env:userprofile\Downloads\mg.7z")
if(!(Test-Path $Env:userprofile\MegaGlest_Dev)){
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $Env:userprofile\MegaGlest_Dev
}
cd $Env:userprofile\MegaGlest_Dev
& 7z x $Env:userprofile\Downloads\mg.7z -y
Copy and paste this into notepad with the file extension *.ps1    I placed this in C:\ for easy access
