-
Unzip the official release to C:\DXX-Rebirth\D*X
-
Replace the Hi-res addon in the D1 folder with the one in the include\Addons folder
-
Install INNO Setup (unicode) and Inno Downloader Plugin (INNO Setup can be installed from http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php Inno Downloader Plugin is in the include folder) NOTE: Make sure you install INNO Setup with the preprocessor, and make sure you install IDP with the include .iss setting checked.
-
(If changing installer revision) Search for "//Add the installer revision to the version" and change the revision number
-
Copy the include folder to C:\DXX-Rebirth
-
Make sure the following directories exist in each rebirth folder:
- Players
- Missions
- Demos
- Screenshots
-
Delete the DELETE_ME files in the folders that already existed
-
Add -use_players_dir to d*x.ini file, and make sure all non-arguments are commented out.
-
(If changing Rebirth version) Replace all instances of the old version number with the new version number in the .iss file.
-
(If changing installer revision or Rebirth version) Change the version number in the version2.txt file on the server.
###Note: If you compile yourself, the version checker will check against the official server. You can change this behavior in the .iss file where it says
installerurl := http://www.dxx-rebirth.com/download/dxx/user/afuturepilot/version2.txt
Change that URL to point to a text file on your own server. The syntax is simply the rebirth version with the installer revision added (i.e. 0.58.1.28 is Rebirth version 0.58.1 with installer revision 28).
