PimpBot 1.2

[Yathosho]

after only two minor updates, a new major release is here

the new features:
* font support
* additional default script
* updated APEs
* optional fullscreen setup
* epilepsy warning (not quite an easter egg, see the docs)

the new pimpbot setup optionally downloads and installs NSIS 2.0 beta 4, which was released a couple of hours ago. the new versopm hasn't been tested as much as last time, so if you experience any trouble let me know!

font support, yes!

[Yathosho]

i didn't turn out as i wanted (sections for each font), but i think it's works well enough like this. a font should not be installed, when it's there already. however, i got enough of this for a while.

*GOOD*.
BTW, I tested PimpBot on both XP-russian and XP-english, some menus do no work on russian version. anyway, nice new features, waiting for custom apes...

I'm sure going to use this for the release of my new pack, now all I have to do is wait for wa5 to come out.

great installer btw, with the get nsis part.

[Yathosho]

a minor update is available now

new pimpbot has switched from bzip2 to lzma compression. the reason why i announce this change, one needs the latest cvs of nsis. therefor the installer has now the option to install nsis 2.0 beta 4 and update it to cvs. if you installed beta 4 already, you just need to run the update.

Installed NSIS2beta4 and then Pimpbot but I can't make the thing work. Always ends with "Creation failed" error. Just tried to pack a single AVS-directory with all the options set to default.

[Yathosho]

can you msg me on icq/aim ?

[QuadHeliX]

will use this too, great pack!!

i think i spot the problem.

the latest PimpBot scripts use LZMA as compressor (not bzip2 as before), which is only supported by the latest NSIS version.

you most likely havn't upgraded your NSIS from CVS. to do so, run NSIS\Bin\NSISUpdate.exe and upgrade your NSIS (second or third option, doesn't make much difference).

PimpBot 1.2.4

the new pimpbot is here

this is probably the last update before 1.3.0, bringing a couple of minor changes.

* added a winamp 5 only script
* added error output
* modified controls
* updated documentation

the setup also got an extra dialogue which explicitly warns the user to upgrade his NSIS installation from CVS.

pimpbot 1.3.0 will have multi-language dialogs, an updated font.dll (current version is buggy under windows 95) and its setup will install the next beta (or final version) of NSIS (to avoid CVS upgrades).

Since AVS 2.8 can handle sub folders, can there be an option to implement this?

[Yathosho]

it already is implemented

[NemoOrange]

Sorry, I worded that poorly. What I meant was that I want to extract files of the pack to a subfolder.

For example, what would I do if I wanted to extract avs files to plugins/avs/NemoOrange/pack/ instead of plugins/avs/pack ?
