Now to get on with the Plugin installer exe...

I don't know how GL is architected, but I would suggest using a folder of DLLs which are loaded by GL automatically and register themselves in a plugin namespace. The info file in an FM could then list the names of plugins that were required, perhaps with parameters that should be passed to the plugins if necessary.

So a T3EnhancEd FM could have a line like "InstallRequires: gl.t3.enhanced" which would cause the T3EnhancEd plugin to be executed during installation.

T3EnhancEd installer is once again available for download. Enjoy.

Uh, NH? I'm have a helluva time getting the editor required sound files to install. It always gets stuck at that point asking to retry, abort, or ignore.

EDIT: Maybe it's just I'm trying to install from the DVD I burned. Trying from the HD next . . .

Same problem. It's mostly the p*_*_*.ogg files.

after following all the instalation directions up to the point of compileing the schemas im just fine. according to the command prompt there is no compileschemas.pl file in the specified folder even though it is there

Hmmm, sounds like it could be a side effect of having to use solid compression to crunch the installer down to its current size. Not certain. I'll have to test it on a DVD here as well.

**ascottk** · 20th Jan 2006 20:40

I had to hold down Alt-I to get past those ogg files. Is the exe file basically a self-extracting zip?

Yeah, pretty much. I whipped up the installer with Inno Setup. Hadn't run into any errors on this end. Did this happen after you put the installer on your hard drive? I can recompile without solid compression, but it will bump the size of the installer up by at least 100 megs. Both had worked fine on my system under xp and server 2003, so I thought it would be safe to go with the smaller of the two...perhaps not.

**ascottk** · 20th Jan 2006 20:55

It happens on the hard drive as well. It isn't limited to ogg files either. Maybe you could just zip the audio files as a separate download

Maybe my download was borked

EDIT: We should wait for other people trying to install before coming to any conclusions.

Hmmm, what exactly do you have typed in the command line? A quick screen shot would be good if you can get one.

Hmmm, I wonder if something could have happened to the file during upload? I'll download it myself and see what happens. I may decide to go without solid compression. It may just be crunching things down too far.

Taking it back offline until I can pin down the installer issues.

- right now, I can see Aditya off in a dark corner somewhere...sticking pins in a voodoo doll with a screen grab of the installer pinned to it.

**nomad of the pacific** · 21st Jan 2006 03:57

Worked fine for me! Sony Vaio laptop with stock software.

Great job, NH.

Gotta go play with it now.

That's too weird. Active Perl installed correctly as well? If you could post a screen shot of what you have typed into the command prompt...along with the error, that could help me greatly.

**angrypenguin** · 21st Jan 2006 09:41

I had problems when I added too many quote marks round the compileschemas command. You only need quotes round the file location and not round the whole thing.

Also, is there any way to test maps with the equivilent of "send to xbox" because not being in fullscreen drives me mad!

I see that the xreboot.bat file is there but it is not linked to in the editor menu

**anak1n** · 21st Jan 2006 11:53

here it is

Send to xbox is still linked in the editor menu. I just changed the name from send to xbox to something more PC'ish. It's now called Fullscreen + sound, but you have to comment out startupfullscreen=false and uncomment startupfullscreen=true in the user.ini

The problem is that you're not in the correct directory.

You're still in the administrator directory. I mistakenly left one step out of the sequence. I'll update the tutorial and upload it again.

The very first step at the command prompt should be to type CD\ and enter to get back to the root of the drive. Then get to the root of the drive you installed T3EnhancED. In your case, type CD\ and hit enter. Then type d: enter.

That will take you to the root of your d drive. From there, follow the steps as instructed. Make sure you inclue a space before the -p at the end of the command, you currently have omitted the space. It won't work without it. It's also advisable to not install into your program files folder. It's just a rule of thumb I've begun to follow with game editors since doom3ed goofs up when installed in directories with spaces.

thnx that seemed to make it work

Cool.

If you used the original version of the editor, you will likely notice that the schema browser opens faster now. That's one of the reasons why I bothered to include all the sounds in this package.

**ascottk** · 21st Jan 2006 13:10

Hey, NH, I tried installing again from the HD & I had no problems at all! I'm not sure what was wrong yesterday but today I had no problem

It'd be nice to know what went wrong though . . .

How bizarre.

I think I'm going to upload the non solid compressed version anyway. With solid compression, you can't 'retry' if there's a problem since everything is in one big chunk. It's about 80 megs larger in this format, but it's a safer alternative and what's another 80 megs when we're in the hundreds anyway.

I wonder if you could have some glitchy ram? I know I used to run into installation problems with games and applications before I swapped out a bad stick. Might not be the case, but you never know.

**ascottk** · 21st Jan 2006 13:24

My motherboard is picky

I bought a new 512 stick of ram but just added it to the other 512 (2 sticks). This sytem is as stable as it's going to be but I have had ram related problems before. Also I have t3ed installed in a usb hard drive where you can't turn off write caching. From what I understand things are stored in memory until it's ready to go to the hard drive (I could be wrong though). All I care about at the moment is that t3enhanced instaalled with no problems today

Sweet!

I think I'll eventually replace the so called 'demo' that I put in there, with a proper demo. I'm thinking a remake of T3's tutorial level with multiple paths and lots of fun stuff.

Make a real mission out of it.
