Yeah yeah i know your talking about me. lol.
It might be in extraction. I honestly don't know what the deal is for some people. Ive extracted my own 7zip files all the time, and ive never had double folders. I zip up the directory, and the file structure is intact. I then uncompress the directory straight into the mod folder and have never had a problem. So.. i honestly don't have a clue as to what the issue is. Maybe i have some older version of winRAR that does things differently. *shrug*

Edit: It also occurs to me, that if i directly compressed the data file, then when i uncompress it, the parent directory wont be right for JSGME.

For example
if i compressed data and documents directly, then i have a zip file with just those two directories. That means that when you go to unzip it in your mod directory, it will uncompress as data and document. Try enabeling that in JSGME. It won't work right, the pathing will be off.

edit 2:
Oh, and version 0.2 of that WIP is up. lol
