Mirage Source

I believe i've seen a tutorial on how to pack up the client and send it to other people so they can connect but i've searched all over the forums and I can't find it.

If anyone remembers where these tuts are or has a tut on how to:

-Set up the server ip and port so it can be connected to
-Packing the client
-Sending the client for use

that would be a bunch of help.

I've tried sending the client and files to another computer on my lan but it comes up with an error and says directories are missing.

Make sure they have all the files, all the .dll etc. files you used, and the IP and PORT are inbuilt.

So I should just make it into an exe, zip it up and send it?

Yes send the whole client folder

also make sure they have the dlls for vb

Read williams tutorial or making a .bat file (Just search the word bat) and add that in, that way people who cant register DLL's can play ^^

I think there is a self-extracting-executable which add's in, and registers a whole load of .dll's you might use.

There's always the package and deployment wizard that comes with VB..

Or you can use Visual InterDev to make an MSI out of your project..

And you can always just zip everything up, and put in an install.bat or something.

I use Inno Setup Compiler. It makes an installer... Looks very professional. This is the web site: http://www.jrsoftware.org/

Yep, I got this, packed it up and sent it. Its easy and it looks very nice as well.

Thanks all for the help!
