Create Your Own Installer - NSIS Script

[DavinFelth]

If you want to create an installer for your mods I've made it very easy, all you need to do is install NSIS, download this pack and alter two lines of a text file It will take you 10minutes at the most!

Instructions
Note: You only need to carry out the first three instructions the first time you create an installer!

1. Download NSIS from HERE and install it.
2. Download the script pack from HERE
3. Extract the script pack into its own directory.
4. Open MtG NSIS Installer Script.nsi in a text editor (will open in notepad by default)
5. Find these lines just below the top of the file:
   • !define modname "MOD NAME GOES HERE"
   • !define modder "YOUR MTG USERNAME GOES HERE"
   and replace the text with what it says, leaving the quote marks in place.
6. Save the file and close it.
7. Copy your mods folders (i.e. texture, datatables etc.) into the "swg" directory contained in the script pack.
8. Right click on MtG NSIS Installer Script.nsi and click on "Compile NSIS Script" If this option doesn't appear then follow these steps:
   • Go to the directory in which you installed NSIS and open "makensisw.exe"
   • Drag the file MtG NSIS Installer Script.nsi into the white part of the MakeNSISW window.
9. The script will compile automatically and you should have a new installer file (named whatever you put as your mod name) in the script pack directory!
10. Test your installer to make sure it works.
11. You're done!
