You can *always* put the installer on a pendrive.
You can *try to* put the program folder on a pendrive and carry it to different computers, but this will work at most for windows, and there will still be problems like missing system libraries (all this OpenAL libs, etc.)

all you had to do was hit the advanced search button at the top and input usb.... you would have found this... amongst all the other usb related posts... ok?

The guys at portableapps.com have it ready for flash drives: http://portableapps.com/apps/games/warz ... 0_portable

As actually it is 2.3.5 you'll have to copy the files of your local 2.3.6 installation to the corresponding ones on the usb drive. I got it for a long time on my usb and it works without problems. You don't need the PApps suite to run the game, though it makes things easier...

Or if you like to use mods: Warzone 2100 Mod Manager 3.5p (portable) can be found here.

Here a simple method to make the portable version of game.

1) Create the directory for game on a disk (USB flash drive or CD/DVD).
(For example: "your USB flash drive:\wz2100_portable\)
2) Copy all contents from a folder "Program Files\Warzone 2100\" to folder "\wz2100_portable\"

3) Create subfolder "u_data", for user data (savegame/settings/screenshot/etc...)
4) Copy all contents from a folder "My Documents\Warzone 2100 2.3\" to folder "\wz2100_portable\u_data\"

5) Create a PlayWZ.bat file (in a folder "wz2100_portable") with these contents (or use the attached file):

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo installing OpenAL...
oalinst.exe -s
echo launch WarZone...
warzone2100 --configdir %CD%\u_data\

PlayWZ.zip

Ready!
To play on other computer, connect a USB flash drive and launch a bat-file.

P.S.
If to try to launch WZbeta4 by the same method, it is completed with a fatal error. It is a bug or feature?

Code: Select all

fatal   |05:09:15: [ParseCommandLineEarly] Unrecognised configuration directory

[milo christiansen]

warzone2100 --configdir="%CD%\u_data\"
And just put the Open AL dlls in the warzone directory, its a little quicker.

Perfectly, Beta4 works. Thanks for the information.
