Installing for new comers

Post by Sno »

Is there a way to link everything in one download? I was trying to help a friend install BZ after we were discussing old school games, he got irritated with it not installing correctly and said he'll do it later (aka never). I know Ken is doing these new builds, but I think we can make it easier to install the 1.5 patch for new comers.

Well for a mod that keeps changing, 23MB redownloads and all... it's going to be hard for someone not computer savvy, have him use spocks installer.

He was on a Win7 64-bit. We went through posts trying to get it to work but in the end, we moved on to looking on Steam.

If he's going to play on spocks server the crc has to match.
I don't know if my installer will match it yet.
