Updated NSIS Installer Script

Post by blast »

I was bored today, so I have written a new NSIS installer script for BZFlag. The current installer looks too plain, so I decided to go with the Modern User Interface feature of NSIS 2. I also made a custom uninstall icon.

After you extract the zip file, the "BZFlagModern.nsi" script goes in the "package\win32\nsis" folder of the source code. You also copy "uninstall.ico" and "side.bmp" in there. Then the "COPYING.RTF" goes in the root of the source folder, where the other "COPYING" file is.

I used NSIS 2.0rc4 for it. I also verified that it works with 2.0 Final which was released a few hours ago. I haven't yet made one for the high resolution textures, but that's on the way. I included a screenshot of the welcome page as well.

I also fixed a few bugs that were in the old script. For example, the Quick Launch shortcut is now deleted when you uninstall.

Edit: There is now a low res and high res script in the zip file
