Hoppah, this might be pushing the limits a bit here, but I was wondering if i could post an e4mod file containing the LA Mod(no sub mods, bug fix patch applied) with w00ds new map in it so people can have the option of choosing which mod to load depending on which freeplay map they want to play?

Sorry, no. It's not my fault the installation instructions of that submod are vague. You might want to find a way to release that submod with better instructions or use a program like Inno Setup to make an .exe installer which makes installation easier as well. In that case I can provide you with a script, so it automatically finds the correct EM4 directory AND the mod directory.

^If you could send me the script thats be awesome. And it wasnt because of the instructions itself, just that, you know as well as anyone, people cant be bothered to read instructions most the time.

[Hoppah]

The file in .zip file in the attachment can only be opened with Inno Setup.

I added two extra codes to the file:
1. The installer should automatically find the correct game folder.
2. The installer also checks if a folder called 'Los Angeles Mod v1.8' exists in the Mods folder. An warning message will appear when that folder is not found.

Other notes:
1. The green lines in the script are deactivated. You can activated them by removing the ; in front of the line. This way you can add a license and/or information page, but also icons and a big/small image file. Just make sure these files it asks for are in the SourceDir folder.

2. To add additional files to the installer you need to add or alter the lines below the [Lines] section.
The example line adds 1 file (file1.txt) to the installer. You can copy/paste that line to add additional files. I also added a line which adds a whole folder instead of a single file as a source. That line is deactivated though.

3. Make sure you make the appropiate changes, like the AppName, Source and DestDir codes.

4. TEST the installer a couple of times, to make sure ALL files are installed in the correct directories of the LA Mod.

5. More questions? Try to look in the Documentation files first. Inno Setup comes with a huge FAQ and documentation.

Good luck,

Hoppah

[puppysboy222]

I might have a script like what you want, but its a very slightly modified version of Hoppah's script so you would need his permission.

Its about a siren script...Can I use it for the mod?

Hoppah, I'm requesting your permission to use the "lights" and "warning lights" scripts on the London Mod.

If that's alright with you, thanks anyways...

Yes, you got permission for the objects and the scripts. You do need to make the appropriate changes to the scripts yourself though.
