Yes, and JSGME will slavishly copy those documentation folders into the game directory and "uninstall" them when required. There is no reason to have those files cluttering up the game folder. And the easiest way for a noob to tell if he has the right contents in his /Mods folder is to see that there is only a /Data folder under the named mod folder. Any experienced gamer can tell the noob to take the extraneous folders out. And then the simple test I described will tell the noob he is good to go. But, if he sees a bunch of extraneous files, as when he unzips OTC directly to the /Mods folder, he knows there is something wrong and to come here and ask for help. So it is easier to simply say: "If you have anything but the /Data folder there, come back here for advise." Not literally accurate, but easy to follow. You know better, and I know better, but that doesn't help the noob.

How would you advise the noob, so that he knows when his mod is set up properly for installation?
