Hey everyone. Im releasing a client pack I put together that contains everything needed for making a client to make things as easy as possible for new and current users. Making a client or updating from a old one has proven to be difficult for many and im hoping to put a end to this issue. Below is info from the readme about the client pack. The readme also contains information on how to make and install the client.
================================
The Purpose Of This Client Pack
================================
This pack was created as my response to helping the community with a few common issues.
The main issue im hoping this will resolve for most users is getting all the needed files easly.
During my time as a developer, ive noticed many users having issues staying up-to-date with things
because of the fact that you would normally have to search here and there for all the files, tools,
and other things needed just to make a fully working client. I also found myself getting outdated
at times because of how things change. Many users out there still arn't fully aware of where to get
up-to-date diff plugins for the WeeDiffGen program.
With the release of this client pack, I hope it be less time consuming for users and allow them to
catch up with everything to allow them to run a fully up-to-date server with the latest server revision
with the latest client files.
Their's still people out there using clients from mid 2010. Come on people. Its time to catch up.
================================
Whats Included In This Pack
================================
This client pack includes the following....

================================
WARNING!!!!
================================
Some security programs will attack and remove some of the files included in this pack.
The files itl mark as a threat are the dll plugin files used in the WeeDiffGen program and are not
viruses. Before extracting, its recommended you make a new folder on your desktop and set your security
software to exclude scans and real time protection for this folder, sub-folders, and files in them.
Once done, extract your files in the folder.
