Hi Guys
I know this app used to be in development here but was taken offline. Just testing things out I used Portable App Creator to make a shortcut to the correct .exe. I started a regshot, played a stage, daved the game, quit, did the second run and heres the results. Now I can't read at all but it looks a lot shorter than some of the lengthier ones I've posted and have been told was clean so basically it seems like this would be pretty simple to PAF. Is there any kins soul out there willing to PAF this?

I don't know how to make a portable app per se, but the latest version of Wesnoth is fairly big. It installs at something like 260 megs. I deleted the non-english translation files, I reencoded the ogg files to 96 kb/sec, I optimized the png and jpeg files, I used UPX on the dll and exe files, and I got the folder down to 159 megs.
I'll happily upload what I've got. I'm also going to attempt dumping these files over the old portable version and seeing if it will work as a portable app.
Another 7 megs plus of the folder is uncompressed text files. At the game data is in .cfg files, yet there is one .gz file the game uses. If the game is compiled against a gzip library and can open gzip files, it would be nice if someone could alter the program so the .cfg files could all be compressed with gzip.
Nihilism makes me smile.
