Plug and play soldat

[chutem]

I would like to know what and where all of the files needed to play soldat are, but not the files that go into the C:/Program Files/Soldat directory.
This is so I can have the main installation on my flash drive and plug it in a computer to play.

You don't need maps, scenery, or textures. delete them all and their entries in \readonly.txt. The sound effects are also unnecessary, and i'm sure the weapon-interface and interface graphics could be changed to 1x1 pixel lime bitmaps. \Manual\ can be deleted, and all the bots can be deleted, although the folder itself probably has to stay.

I'm sure there's a few other things, but I'm not sure as I haven't tested any of this.

Good thinking, I never thought of doing that, thanks i'll try it later.

[EDIT] At first I thought you were being an arse and being sarcastic

[EDIT 2] And now all I need (which I forgot to mention) is for it not to appear in the add or remove programs list

Unless he has a tiny flash drive, he really should just copy everything from C:/Soldat into a folder on his flash drive

Can you actually play it off of a flash drive?
I mean, I tried to play Phun, a physics simulator which is smaller off of a flash drive and it just crashed.

Yup, you can play off a flash drive. No slowdown either, unless you have a USB key from the 70's.. and made in the USSR.

Smaller in size but much higher demands in processing power.

And how do I hide soldat from the add or remove programs list, but still being able to use it, Or just rename the entry to something else?

[O.R.I.O.N.]

Put it in an invisible folder.

re-name the uninstall program and then try to uninstall it from "add and remove software".

Copy the C:\Soldat folder to your flash drive. Then run the Soldat uninstaller, from the original folder at C:\Soldat or from the Soldat folder in the start menu, not from the copied Soldat folder on your flash drive.

The Soldat program entry on your computer will be gone but you will now have your Soldat on your flash drive, where you can run it by simply opening the Soldat.exe

Thanks guys, especally adadqgg, nice way to hide it.

Playing soldat at work/school eh?  I gotta try this...

[Gnoblar]

You can literally copy and paste the "soldat" folder onto your flash drive and play it from there. It never appears in Programs because it wasn't installed. I do it all the time because all "unneeded" files are deleted on our school accounts.
