Tutorial: Running Las Venturas Playground on your Windows computer

[Joeri]

I ran the deploy script with echo on as admin on a windows 7 machine with UAC enabled, this is what happened:

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>echo ------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

C:\Windows\system32>echo LAS VENTURAS PLAYGROUND: DEPLOYING THE GAMEMODE
LAS VENTURAS PLAYGROUND: DEPLOYING THE GAMEMODE

C:\Windows\system32>echo ------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

C:\Windows\system32>set DEPLOY_MODE=normal

C:\Windows\system32>set DEPLOY_RESULT=1

C:\Windows\system32>if "" == "--editor" set DEPLOY_MODE=editor

C:\Windows\system32>set SOURCE_PATH=C:\Windows\system32

C:\Windows\system32>pushd .

C:\Windows\system32>cd ..

C:\Windows>set ROOT_PATH=C:\Windows

C:\Windows>popd

C:\Windows\System32>set SERVER_PATH=C:\Windows\server

C:\Windows\System32>if not exist "C:\Windows\server" goto server_doesnt_exist

C:\Windows\System32>echo The SA-MP Server directory could not be found.
The SA-MP Server directory could not be found.

C:\Windows\System32>echo Please execute this file from the gamemode/ directory,

ensure that the server/ directory (one level up) also exists.

C:\Windows\System32>goto deploy_exit

C:\Windows\System32>if 1 == 0 goto clean_exit

C:\Windows\System32>echo ------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

C:\Windows\System32>echo FAILURE: The deploy script failed, please review the er

C:\Windows\System32>if "normal" == "normal" pause
Druk op een toets om door te gaan. . .

It seems Windows changes the currenct directory to the system root when ran as admin, screwing up the relative links.
