The Fifth Horseman | I think a TXT file is the best - not all unpackers support or show archive comments. | |

mika | You said that it should be the archive comment; I meant that we don't need an executable at all- just a normal abandonia.txt file or something like that. | |

Why not just create a nice ASCII art file which people can read on all systems? A runnable exe seems like overkill to me... Also, the ASCII art would look far more retro |

This program is equivalent to the old fashioned "run-me" files or even a DIZ. Some people will see it and some won't. There doesn't seem to be a "silver bullet" here... This is just one way to do what was desired... letting folks who obtained an Abandonia download from another source potentially see that we are here. This is a decent solution to the issue, working for over 80% of the folks (80-20 rule), and only requires additional work one time (coding it and updating the ZIPs). |

I mean wouldn't it be a lot better to have an installer? installer would provide easy install for everyone. as for mac and linux users they could still extract it as archive. i mean why would someone want to click on that programme? also isnt' it better to have it like in old dos games where you got a screen on beginning or end of game telling you which group cracked the game and so on... :blink: |

Sorry, busy here. Taskmaster, could you give me some basic info about the identifier. The pixel dimensions, what the limitations are graphically. Things I need to know when I create a graphic for it. I'll make sure I'll send you the stuff quickly. Could you send it to Maikelkersbergen at hotmail dot com ? or in a PM? thanks |

k: Just an FYI, I am still waiting on this. My work load has increased as I have been assigned a new project, but I will still be able to squeeze this in, as needed. I replied to Maikel PM, but I have not heard back. No rush, just keeping all up-to-date. Looking forward to helping Abandonia as best I can.... |
