Freeware Tool: Make your AM games ZIP friendly
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 8:14 pmHow to use:
1) Compile your AM game as an installer EXE
2) Install your game complied with AM
3) Take all the files from your "YourGameInstallFolderName" out of the install directory and into the "gamefiles" directory
4) Run your game. It should now be able to run on the end user's PC without any need of a boring installer / license agreement dialog (no casual gamer really cares about this kind of stuff and it is annoying to them; I learned that thru both a ton of online research and personal experiances)
PLEASE report bugs if you use it. I used a source I found online that claimed it could register OCX and DLLs. I do NOT even know if it will work. If it doesn't work on a computer that does not have AM installed and/or is a user that is not logged in as administrator, please let me know so that if it did work I can announce this product a stable release.
Thanks!
