Anniversary Edition/Installer

Some quick-and-dirty documentation, to be dressed up later.

The new AE Installer is Java-based. In Windows, the Setup app that you download to get started will also install a local JRE (Java machine) in case you don't have Java installed. On the Mac it's a bit more complicated so we've left it up to the user to install Java himself (but the Setup app contains a couple useful URLs to point him in the right direction).

A couple features easy to overlook are the contextual menus:

• You can hide/show columns by right-clicking the column header:

• You can go to the mod on your HD (if downloaded), on the Depot, delete the mod locally (if downloaded), or force a re-download; this might be useful if you know the Depot was just updated and you don't feel like re-launching the AEI or choosing "Mods>Check for updates", or if you think you got a corrupted download.

Also, don't forget to check out the AEI's Preferences. Notice that the AEI copies over outro by default, but not intro.

The AEI also supports localization (easy translation into other languages). Currently the AEI only supports English and German, but if you want to contribute a translation, read this page. You can email Alloc with your strings when you're done.
