Since it can be tricky for the average user to successfully install a mod, I've written an Inno Setup Install script that you modders can use to build installers for your mods.
It is very easy to use:
1. Download and install Inno Setup.2. Download the sample setup script. This is the setup script I used to build the installer for the Godlike Team Panel.3. Edit the file by searching for the ***** comments and following the instructions.4. Click the compile button above.5. Make sure you test!
Features of the install script- Automatically finds the Demigod installation. If it cannot find the installation, it will ask the user to find it. It will verify the user has chosen a folder that looks like the main Demigod folder.- Installs your mod to demigod\bindata\mods\yourmodfolder. The user just can't get it wrong.
I recommend you offer both the traditional .ZIP archive of your mod and also an installer since some users do not like to download strange .EXE files.
Happy modding!

Do you think this could be modified to download the latest version of the mod from the web? Maybe checking the modinfo.lua file for version number and updating if local<webversion ?
I took a look and I'm thinking that it might be as easy as mossing the SOURCE section to include an HTTP link to source forge or something and then writing a script that downloads a 'version' file and compares the contents... but I'm not that gifted
Thoughts?Cheers,Than.
It could be done but it is ALOT more work to add that feature than it is to ask the users to check for new versions.
I don't understand any of this on looking at ****comments??? it might be the easiest of the easiest and i don't get it!!! plz help me ASAP
