If you would like to build one, feel free.

I would build one if the beta actually worked for me right now. Theres no sense in me making an installer for something that Im not sure works.

yes there is

it helps others

also, if you make the installer, then the dev team can just create an installer using your code every day if nesscarry until you can play.

all is fine , sound and game. (although I care little for sound anyways, so I didn't pay much attention to its quality) Can't wait for it come out, right now can't play on reg alleg.

aww come on, i'm pestering him to stop pestering you.

I wasn't pestering pook intentionally, I was pestering dogbones.. /wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":iluv:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />

Oh yeah, I think the regular Allegiance installer could also be a lot faster if oggdec.exe didn't actually draw everything it was doing.. output at that speed can actually things down significantly.

I know - but it doesn't have a "Silent" option and I've even tried redirecting output (oggdec.exe *.ogg > NUL) and it doesn't care... it spits it all out.

About the only thing I can do that I know of would be to launch the window minimized...

Ogg is open source, I've actually implemented the ogg format into my sound engine which uses DSound a few months back. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to make a program that does the same thing (but without the display).. what exactly does it do?

Edit: actually, it looks like oggdec itself is open source.

Edit again: actually it looks like there is a -q parameter you can give it to supress output.
