OUT OF HERE – Full deployement !!!!
UPDATE : I finally managed to iron out this damned packaging thing
So I give you a Mac OS .app and a Windows zip file (goodbye installers…). I’m also happy to announce that a previous packaging bug that omitted one of the models, making the game crash when you won, has disappeared. Sorry about that !
Hi there !
I got around poking through Panda3D to provide more installation option for my entry, OUT OF HERE. Here is the full array of links for quicker access :
Windows (zip)
Windows (installer)
Linux (32bits deb)
Linux (64bits deb)
Mac OSX (zipped .app)
Source code (dependency : Panda3D)
ArchLinux (32bits)
ArchLinux (64bits)
That’s it. I hope this isn’t seen too much as spam, but I made quite an effort to have an easy way for people to try out the game, and with the number of games to rate, I suppose most people won’t go back to an entry they had trouble installing. Now I can get back rating games
Good luck everyone !
Installer is not the easiest way. Imagine installing 352 games just tu try them out. Please use zip/gz.
I know, thing is I found no way to bundle a panda3d application in a way that didn’t involve an installer
I fiddled for hours before the compo trying to get things like py2exe or pyinstaller (both of which output a single executable) working, but no dice… So yeah, I’m aware it’s still not the best solution, but I couldn’t find another way.
EDIT : changed “easiest way” by “an easy”, wich is technically more accurate ^^;
Mac installer works fine (though having an installer is kinda scary. Just the app in a zip would have been enough.
Game runs *literally* but crashes after some time without warning.
Apparently the packaging tool missed a model on some platform. I’m rebuilding the packages now. As for MAC OS, I do think I have found a way to distribute only the .app, didn”t know that was the best method. Thanks for the info !
