Suggestion, option during the export process to not include the client/server part

#1 I though about this also, say you make a game players can play and host. no need to package a game with a server if they are just players. Yet to have option to host is nice so they could get that.

Web page with...
download: "Game Name_plyr" [client]
download: "Game Name_srvr" [Server]

This would make for less download time and server resource time.
I agree Kyrah, couldn't you use VS2008/10 to make app that will run the server side with code maybe and package that, with your game.

#2 I was always under the impression that one would create customised installer scripts anyway rather than just use the toolbox example.

As far as I recall, and assuming you've scripted in the same way, simply removing any server folders in the game folder should turn the game into a client only install (also as I recall this doesn't work the other way round for servers)

I do realise that this notion may well spark the whole debate over who does what, but unless you are suggesting that there should be completely different compiles for client/server (which has already been stated as a no go by GG devs a long time ago :sadface:) then simply organising the files and packing them up is purely a user issue.

#3 The toolbox already allows you to exclude or include anything you want in your project folder. Just go to Package Project->Configure for Installer->File Specifications.

#4 Isn't there a Resource or a Forum thread that details how to split and manage a separated client and server install? Just use that as a new Template, then when you go to package for release use the exclusion/inclusion options to output the desired side.

#5 Well yeah, I didn't mean a complete separate compilation process, but just a few stuffs for tying up loose ends.
