RabidVWM 1.1.1 NetLoadModule Thread last updated on 2003-12-15 13:28:40

I'm just about to release the new version of a theme and upgraded RabidVWM to verion 1.1.1 but ShellFront does not seem to have this module yet so it did not download automatically. For now I have manually downloaded the file from Loose-Screws and renamed it. I'm prepared to release the theme anyway, provided I have correctly called the name of the module, *NetLoadModule rabidvwm-1.1.1.

Can someone confirm this is correct?

It's true.

Also a hint:
*NetLoadModuleSite "http://www.loose-screws.com/download.php?netloadmodule="
in step.rc can help the next time to avoid do anything manually...

Thanks, inform-sega. I forgot about that feature. I won't make it a part of my theme but I might put it in the readme for others.

im pretty sure the installer version 3.0.2 includes loose-screws as well as shellfront

Yes it does !

For reference, I had to put ".zip" after inform-sega's code for it to work.

I didn't want to assume everyone was using the new installer since I know they are not and I didn't want to get bombarded with the same question about RabidVWM 1.1.1.

That's odd, you should only need ".zip" if you're using weight or order...

Weight or order? I don't know what that means. Perhaps I didn't explain myself properly. Instead of ...
*NetLoadModuleSite "http://www.loose-screws.com/download.php?netloadmodule="

I used ...
*NetLoadModuleSite "http://www.loose-screws.com/download.php?netloadmodule=" ".zip"

... so modules can download from loose-screws.

Yeah, but ".zip" is the default... weight and order are the load balancing options, you need the ".zip" for them so that they start in the right place on the line.

But as long as it works :)
