Theater "orig" files

Post by Schumi »

Hi - exspecially Snakeman!

While we are slowly moving to V1.0 Balkan release, I thought about the "Orig" files.
All theaters share the same files as "Orig" files, but put them into an own folder. That is not necessary. I think we should put all of the "Orig" files in the F4Patch/Orig folder and change the .f4p's accordingly.

Yeah and when you uninstall any theater, the rest of the theaters become non-working becuase InstallShield is removing the strings.???.orig files.

If you turn off the logging (LOGOFF) in the InstallShield script when these files are copied to the Orig folder, they will not be removed during Uninstall operation.

Yes - that's just like the F4PCampFolderSwitch.dll which gets installed by each theater - if newer version - but doesn't get deleted.
