Mod making (Vassy?s Style). Created 20 years ago2003-10-19 18:18:19 UTC by Marlborometal

Hi!!!.

This post is written on my way of making my first mini mod (it is, a bunch of maps with new sounds and textures that could be a normal bunch of maps but is cooler and of more educative value if I set it to work as a mod).
I?ve noticed that when you copy the Dlls and the cl_dlls the size of the mod goes up to 1.44mb (yeah, like a floppy disk) and, well, that?s almost outsizing the size of maps that TWHL hosts... To reduce it I thought about packing the mod stuff in a ZIP without the Dlls and Cl_dlls and with a .bat file that copies it from the HL installed in the Hard Disk.
How do you like that?, it would reduce considerably the amount of space required to send a small mod.
And now a question: How do I change the stuff that appears on my Mod?s statistics (I mean, when you activate it from HL main menu, these things about version, size and so on).
Thanks.

First q.:

Stick this in a batch file, if it's run from your mod's root dir [i.e. hlmymod] it should work; I can't test it though, got schoolwork to do
@echo off
copy ..valvedlls*.dll ..mymod
echo Done

should work, if not lemme know and I'll have another try

Thanks, I would have done it myself (ahh, good old ms-dos days...) but you saved me the time for remembering those commands...
I?ll wander around to see how the statistics thing work.

you might also need
copy ..valvecl_dlls*.dll ..mymod

Yeah, yeah, I knew it :D. You?re very kind.
