[quake3] Binaries!!!11111

[James Lacey]

I packaged an installer using NSIS for a UT2004 mod project I was on. I am
not an expert with NSIS by any stretch of the imagination (we use
InstallShield at my work), but I could probably write the script if no one
with more expertise wants to tackle it.

As far as an OS X installer, I don't really think an "installer" per-se is
necessary. Quake 3 installed to a folder in OS X (as opposed to an
application bundle) so using MojoPatch would be overkill. It easiest thing
to provide would probably be a .dmg with the binary that the user would then
copy into his Quake 3 folder.

This is getting ridiculous, we really need to put out binaries.

Is anyone seriously knowledgeable about the nullsoft installer (besides
Timbo), AND can go through the mingw stuff to get a playable windows
binary, then the installer.

Ryan's promised me an OS X installer and binaries.
I'd like a sample version of that, but if he is too busy can
anyone else do that?

Linux binaries are already taken care of by various people
doing rpms and installers. Thanks to Angst especially
for knocking the installer thing out.

Mainly though I would like to see a working installer for
Windows and OS X sooner rather than later, OR to know about
(on this list) what patches or whatever would hold up Windows
and OS X.
