Building an Installer

Prerequisites

• Windows
• 7-zip

Create a bundle

• Create a bundle folder, copy in the modpack in zip format
• Download desired forge installer, place in bundle folder
• Copy a LTInstaller jar to the bundle folder
• Download a JRE for the installer to use, extract it and place it inside a folder in the bundle
• Create a file called installer.json
  • Inside that file, fill in the following json config with your own values:

{
	"forgeInstallerPath": "<forge installer filename>",
	"profileName": "<name that will be used in the vanilla launcher for the created profile>",
	"gameDir": "<what to call the installation folder by default, user can change>",
	"serverIp": "<optional, the IP of a server to autoconnect to>"
}

Finally, select all files within the bundle folder and select 7-zip -> Add to bundle.7z

Build the exe

• Move the bundle.7z file you just created into another folder
• In the same location, place the header.sfx and config.txt files from this repository
• Edit config.txt if necessary to point to the correct file locations
• In cmd/powershell, within the folder, run copy /b header.sfx + config.txt + bundle.7z <output file name>.exe

Done!
