Avallanche - Old version for MP1.3 and earlier (4 Viewers)

[kiwijunglist]

@infinite.loop - Might not be a bad idea! I've renamed the thread titles a little which should help with confusion. I dare not do more than that, as this is not my backyard.

Hopefully after dlarge finishes his update for Avalon and the hectic MP1.4 release frenzy dies down over the next month joostzilla, ncoh, cul8er can improve things Otherwise I'll just post a sticky FAQ with download links + brief explanations.

I will get in contact with all the guys involved in oder to finally clear things up here. I am very confused too about what belongs where and is required to get it working.

 

[kiwijunglist]

I was confused too...

We have

Avalon standalone skin
Avallonis standalone skin
Avallanche theme for Avallonis
AvallancheAddict theme for Avallonis

I'm not 100% sure as I can't test with MP1.4 but I think both Avalon & Avallonis also have a white/blue theme. I think blue is standard and white is theme.

There is the current problem that avallonis is not yet released for MP1.3, however Avallanche has an installer that installs a modified version of avallonis for MP1.4 as well as the avalanche theme. However Avallanche for MP1.4 has a dependency on having a previous install of Avallonis for MP1.3 because the mpei is missing some of the Avallonis files. (I think)

I think this means that existing Avallonis/Avalanche users can upgrade to MP1.4 by running Avalanche 1.5.0.0.mpei, but new users or users with a clean install can not use Avalon/Avallonis/Avallanche. Until a fix is made.

Glad I am not the only one who is confused.

Also confused.
So with AvallancheAddict theme we got an theme for an theme of an theme?

Dont get me wrong, you guys do all an superior work, but the average user will lose slowly the overview here.

AvallancheAddict theme we got an theme for an theme of an theme?

Not quite, it's a theme from a theme for a skin from a skin

theme (AvallancheAddict) from a theme (Avallanche) for a skin (Avallonis) from a skin (Avalon)

Ok, but in case i'll try AvallancheAddict this means I have to install Avallonis, then Avallanche and finally AvallancheAddict?
Or did I misunderstand?

 

[kiwijunglist]

install Avallanche.mpei (includes Avallanche theme + Avallonis base skin) then install AvallancheAddict

However I believe the avallanche installer is broken it is missing files and only works if you already have avallonis installed. There is no way to install avallonis unless you are running MP1.3 (catch 22)

Need to wait till the fix avallanche installer or release an upgraded avallonis installer.

If you are running MP1.3 you're probably ok.

No. The skin is Avalonis. Avalonis in it's "original" version has no comaptible version for the last MP versions (1.3 / 1.4)
So the installer from Avallanche provides a version of Avalonis compatible with 1.3 and 1.4 (ok - this one has a bug but will be fixed) - that's why you need the Avallanche installer.
But - still - Avallanche and AvallancheAddict are themes to Avalonis (to be found in the themes folder of the skin)

As I said, for me this is confusing.
By definition a "theme" is an extension for a standalone skin.
So if Avallanche allready have an standalone installer (no matter if working or broken at the moment) why is it called a theme?
