Title: Installer options
Post by: Mooshu on March 23, 2004, 10:06:16 pm
Is there a way to install the game w/out an internet connection? I downloaded the content/3d0music/voice/remix-pack1/remix-pack2 files, but the installer (ran from the same directory) just re-downloaded them...
What will happen on a machine w/out an internet connection?

Thanks,
Moosh

Two options:

1. if you want version 0.2:
Well here is the REALLY easy way to do it.  
(Note - You must have a CD burner)

Download and install the full version of 0.2 on the broadband CPU. (Yes, I know it is no the most recent version, but it works on this one the easiest)  

Next find the directory you installed it in and select it.  

Copy and paste on the CD.  
Let it burnnnnnnn.......

Then take it to your "other computer", select the folder on the cd and copy.

Paste on the directory of the C: of you choice. (Just remember where it is)  

Once that is done go into the folder. You should see Content in the top left along with other icons. The one you are looking for is a purplish icon marked UQM or Ur-quan masters, or 0.2. I forget which. Copy and paste to your desktop. (Or just rightclick on the icon and click send to desktop if you have windows XP.  

Next, ENJOY this great (and old!!!) Version of UQM.  

Hoped that helped!

2. If you want version 0.3 (the most recent)  (Thanks Novus!)
Download the Windows installer and content packages from the UQM downloads page, choose "Executable only" in the installer, and unpack the content files as described on the download page.  

Or do like I did; do a CVS checkout on the broadband computer, burn the entire CVS module to a CD and copy that to your own computer.

I didn't even think to check the install options on the installer...
Thank you.
