I really think we need something like this, the feature added to HTL or be allowed to release HTL hacks by themselves.

This is the only reason my two -_- hacks on here go un-upgraded, because I'm too lazy to make standalone installers...

Yes, but this forces someone to install a hack to install a hack. which is a big no no in my book and in everyone elses.

I know this debate has been going on since the release of HTL and I know where vB stands on the whole thing, which is why I am not just releasing the HTL versions but waiting till I can manage to make a standalone installer. But... and this is a fairly obvious but, no-one is forcing people to install HTL to install a hack, if a person wishes to install a hack that is only HTL based then that's their choice but in the long run and as a developer HTL makes everyones life easier.

I didn't mean to reopen this topic as a debate on HTL I was just saying it would make my life a whole lot easier as well if there was a standalone installer somewhere that I could edit for my use instead of making my own from the ground up or a tutorial on how to make one.

Trust me, i helped to write the uCS installer, ive written my own installer, i know the pain, however when its done its worth the effort youve put into it. However i do think we should all get together and write a blank installer template, that would use vBulletins .xml files that it generates for languages and styles.

that would be awesome imo, some sort of vb hack writers pack

i'm getting closer to releasing my first hack/s so this is becoming more of an issue
