RFB mod installation poll for "final" public releases
Well, here's the thought.
We can make the RFB mod a self extracting zip that will point to the default SH4 installation directory and let you browse to a different directory if you need to. All individual mod folders would be placed in the MODS folder for JSGME to use. You'd still have to use JSGME to delete them as this would not be an installer. Advantages Ease of installation Noobie friendly Disadvantages Larger file size than rar or 7z Using an installer is another idea, but they can wind up leaving your registry cluttered if you don't use the uninstall feature (and most registry's are pretty cluttered to begin with). Also deleting only one mod folder to replace it can sometimes break the uninstaller.
