It is a Java Web Start file. You download it and then launch it just like any shortcut. The rest of the files for the client are downloaded by Java. There is no other installer at this point in time.

In the future, take issues with custom clients up with the modder.

As MagicMan said, questions about custom clients don't belong here but in https://forum.salemthegame.com/viewforum.php?f=11.

Currently, the updater files for both ender's and my own client will download the client into ~/Salem, e.g. C:/Users/Kandarim/Salem. There is no need to "install" the client: we don't need registry entries or something like that. Given that this game is still in development and that subsequent updates may break your game, you really want the updater.

Some details about the updater: it uses HTTP GET (Modified-Since) header requests and is therefore pretty lean and efficient. The network usage of the updater is negligible compared to the network use of the client itself.

If you want to use a no-update batch script once you have downloaded the client, you can use the following .bat file adjusted to your own situation:

Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -classpath ./ -jar lsalem.jar -U http://plymouth.seatribe.se/res/ plymouth.seatribe.se


This .bat file should reside in ~/Salem/bin and will launch the client without checking for updates
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.
