This is a scaffolding script which sets up the project structure necessary for developing a new .ipf application. In order to use this script, either add its location to your PATH environment variable or invoke it directly from its location.
In order to package a new .ipf, run the deploy-ipf.bat located within the project directory. This will also copy the .ipf to the game client directory, but you will need to reload the game client in order to see the changes.
