Given the list posted a couple of days ago it sounds like they're on top of it. I had a laugh when I read it, thinking "Gearbox didn't even do these things for their pc release of Borderlands."

The mod needs to be packaged correctly into pk4's, and all of that will also go into a self-extracting installer utility.

That's the easy bit. I don't see how packaging and creating an installer will take long. Just don't package files that will be streamed, like MegaTerrains or bik videos. NSIS will give you an extremely easy and simple way of installing under both retail and DD\Steam installs of ET:QW.
 
People need to realize that a public release is much different than a private release. I've been bitten by that bug way too many times. A public release involves so much more than a list of instructions, or anything you could ever imagine.

NSIS isn't what's causing the holdup, but I'm waiting for someone else to finish some work with the packaging and getting multi-platform binaries built.

far more important to any game is not the kind of game it is but the people who play it

unless arcanox has done some amazingly covert advertising (?) i do not expect much
 
If someone wants to host a game server for the mod, pm me. There are a couple people who will have some servers up for launch. The more the merrier though.
 
Yeah the installer is getting uploaded to a couple sites. Some of these files require authorization or processing before the links are published.

The official announcement thing is probably going to be withheld until tomorrow but I'm going to continue uploading the file to a couple other areas. I'm going to start a thread on the forums with links to mirrors as they become available.

Yeah and just like that, dreamhost craps out and screws up the domain conf. I'll refer the links here regardless.

PACKAGED VERSION INSTRUCTIONS

This package is WINDOWS ONLY. Ensure you have the v1.5 Patch for ETQW.

Download the installation package. The installer will ask for the Installation Directory, select the Enemy Territory - Quake Wars folder. Wait until the extraction process is complete. You will now have a Desktop icon which you can use to run the game.

If you have the Steam version of the game the Desktop icon will not work, you may remove it. You will have to add a Steam Launch item by pressing the "Add non-Steam game..." button. Locate etqw.exe in your ETQW installation folder and add it to your list. Select the list item and go to properties, and add these launch parameters:

+set fs_game twars

You can now use this launch item to start the game.

There is one server up that says v1.0, that's the one that works. The TAW server hasn't been updated with the new client files yet, but will be soon. I'll be back later to check on the status of the website, and those uploads waiting authorization still.
