Freelancer: HD Edition Installer

This is the installer for Freelancer: HD Edition. It was created using Inno Setup with the help of custom Pascal scripting.

Build instructions

All-in-one installer (default)

1. Clone the Freelancer: HD Edition GitHub repository.
   1. NOTE: Do not download the mod zip from GitHub's "Download ZIP" feature under the green "Code" button (on the mod's homepage). This may result in an incomplete download. Use the git clone command instead.
2. Compress all the mod files (DATA & EXE directories, etc.) using an archiver like 7-Zip. NOTE: The zip must NOT be larger than 2.05 GB!
   1. Compressing the files using LZMA2 is highly recommended.
   2. If it is inevitable that the zip exceeds the 2.05 GB file size limit, you may specify DiskSpanning=yes under [Setup] in setup.iss to make the build process succeed regardless.
3. Name the zip freelancerhde.7z and place it in Assets/Mod.
4. Build setup.iss using Inno Setup's standard IDE, or use the Command Line Compiler.

Online and offline installer (not officially supported)

1. Open setup.iss and find the line that says #define AllInOneInstall true.
2. Change true to false.
3. Build setup.iss using Inno Setup's standard IDE, or use the Command Line Compiler.

Note that the online and offline mode is a legacy feature that is no longer supported. The code for it is present but it has not been maintained after the release of v0.6 so there is no guarantee that it will still work.
