MPEM Development Info & Testversion (1 Viewer)

[Edalex]

And I will be asking for a LOT of input from every plugin developer, but if we make a nice modular install wizard adding new requirements can be done easily.

I think you should talk to @fforde since he saw many problems in MPEI which you could eleminate in MPEM. Also MPEI doesn't look good for skins. As you know StreamedMP still has NSIS installer or similar. Personally I think not compilable extensions (skins, logos) should not be distributed as packs. Only needed logos should be downloaded and maybe only needed skin files could be downloaded too (maybe by request?). Skin could be distrubuted as package only once and after that only receiving updates.In my personal thoughts svn diff perfectly suits for updating skins. I've already did tool that checking current version, checking changes with svn diff and downloading changed skin files for Black Glass skin. So no need to build exe patch like in streamedMP and no need to know file compiling for skin dev.

Hi @sa_ddam213
any news for MPEM ?

So far I have had no feedback on what other Plugin/Skin devs need from the new MPEM system.

Also I have had no feedback on installer type, personally I want to use WiX MSI insallers as intergrating WiX into the installer wizard will be nice as its all xml based, this gives us the advantage of using installer templates, using a wizard or for advanced users they can create the install xml themselfs.
This allows the packages to be installed on any pc, MP installed or not.

But like I said all these concepts are just my opinions and there is no point me continuing MPEM if is just not going to be used as it does not fit the Plugin/Skin developers needs.

Also I need some info about what can be done with the Repository, i know very little about the current implementation and I don't have the required skill set in web development to design a new or modify the existing.

So basically the only news is I NEED HELP/FEEDBACK to progress.

Thanks again sa_ddam213 for looking into this and hope you will get some help

It would also be great to hear from the @Developers what they need for MP2 since MPEM is meant to work for Mp1 and Mp2.
