Experimental Installers

Post by Ishq »

Here are the experimental installers. They will download the game using bittorrent and then subsequent updates should only download changed files saving around 500 MiB per release in download size. Currently, I only have Windows and Linux builds. Mac builds are incoming shortly. I don't want to give too many instructions here because I'm curious to see how usable the installers are "out of the box"

TODO:

  • Option to add shortcuts to desktop/Start Menu on Windows/Linux
  • Add uninstall information to Add/Remove programs on Windows
  • Set up unv:// protocol handlers for all OSes

Windows: http://unvanquished.net/~modi/UnvUpdate ... 150916.zip
Linux: http://unvanquished.net/~modi/UnvUpdate ... 919.tar.xz

Please try these out and give feedback about how well they work and how they can be improved. If you find bugs, please file issues at the github link below. The ultimate goal is for this to become an Unvanquished launcher to start the game.
