Batch file to create a clean copy of starter.fps

I just created this batch file to create a copy of the example folder with all the crap cut out. I just do a basic copy of the \data folder though, so you will still have to keep that clean yourself.
:: copy the main set of files over to the stand alone directory. mkdir standalone\ copy example\torqueDemo.exe standalone\ copy example\glu2d3d.dll standalone\ copy example\main.cs standalone\ copy example\openAL32.dll standalone\ copy example\opengl2d3d.dll standalone\ :: Common folder mkdir standalone\common mkdir standalone\common\client mkdir standalone\common\server mkdir standalone\common\help mkdir standalone\common\lighting mkdir standalone\common\UI mkdir standalone\common\UI\cache copy example\common\*.dso standalone\common copy example\common\client\*.dso standalone\common\client copy example\common\server\*.dso standalone\common\server copy example\common\help\*.hfl standalone\common\help copy example\common\lighting\*.png standalone\common\lighting copy example\common\UI\*.png standalone\common\UI copy example\common\UI\*.dso standalone\common\UI copy example\common\UI\cache\*.gft standalone\common\UI\cache :: Starter.fps mkdir standalone\starter.fps mkdir standalone\starter.fps\client mkdir standalone\starter.fps\client\scripts mkdir standalone\starter.fps\client\ui mkdir standalone\starter.fps\server mkdir standalone\starter.fps\server\scripts copy example\starter.fps\*.dso standalone\starter.fps copy example\starter.fps\client\*.dso standalone\starter.fps\client copy example\starter.fps\client\scripts\*.dso standalone\starter.fps\client\scripts copy example\starter.fps\client\ui\*.dso standalone\starter.fps\client\ui copy example\starter.fps\client\ui\*.jpg standalone\starter.fps\client\ui copy example\starter.fps\client\ui\*.png standalone\starter.fps\client\ui copy example\starter.fps\client\ui\*.hfl standalone\starter.fps\client\ui copy example\starter.fps\server\*.dso standalone\starter.fps\server copy example\starter.fps\server\scripts\*.dso standalone\starter.fps\server\scripts :: Do a dirty copy of the data folder. mkdir standalone\starter.fps\data xcopy /s example\starter.fps\data standalone\starter.fps\data

But if you do *.* You also copy linking files, which add tons of size. I think he knew about it, if you look down he uses wildcards.

Neil doesn't want to copy everything.
He just wants what is needed to make the final version of the game, to be able to distribute it.
He doesn't wan the *.cs files and other development files.

Hehe, it's funny, I was going to correct Neil and mention that it should be "cp" not "copy", but then I realized I've spent too much time with BSD so I'll just be quiet now :P

@Theo: Last I checked, copy doesn't have a recursive option. You always had to use xcopy... or, is that like, a new thing in Windows XP/2000 that I never use (because who uses the console in Windows anyway??)Hehe, it's funny, I was going to correct Neil and mention that it should be "cp" not "copy", but then I realized I've spent too much time with BSD so I'll just be quiet now :P

The other advantage to doing it manually is that you can create random backup directories for quicktests and they won't pollute your "release" build.

Yeah I do an xcopy on the data folder. I guess I could do an xcopy for *.dso that might remove a few lines.
