Insofar as your tool is concerned, I think you may alleviate user hesitance by posting how it handles multiple mods "attacking" the menu.ini file. That is, if I apply two or more mods that modify the menu.ini file, will it handle all modifications gracefully, or will it curl up in the corner leaving me to deal with any subsequent in-game CTDS?

And what about the peripheral files that are linked by the menu.ini changes? How are those handled?

Basically, much more info is needed if you wish to sell your idea.

I should include a well done documentation, but its hard for me doing it in english.
About the ctd, you can have ctd, installing a mod manually if the modder dont tell to you: look this mod is not compatible with this other mod....
About bothering for ratings, i must 'defend' this realease, (i like to critic my own work) and i found that this is a good thing, saves a lot of editing to the user.
Mmm, i made this tool to install the 'periscope tdc' mod, if next month its released gwx 3.0 or something the idea was, that you reinstall the mod using the created files from the program, and it should work with the new version, for example, the files used to create menu_1024_768.ini and dials.cfg in the 'periscope tdc' mod are the same for vanilla and for gwx... understand?
About linked files, the modder must provide those.
And finally thanks for asking those questions.

Oh trust me, you'll have *plenty* of opportunities to defend your work.

As JScones said, you'll have plenty of oportunities to defend your work , this might be one of your first tests.

Nicolas, does the MenuModInstaller only work if you install SH3 to the C Drive. I have created a new partition on my computer to install my games on. So if the path to my SH3 install is J:\Tuddley\Ubisoft\WAC\data, does this mean the MMI will not find the SH3 Data folder ?

I am trying to install your Periscopes TDC 1.0.1, and when I try to locate the SH Data folder, I get this error message: "File is missing, or wrong folder".

Thanks,
