Default Re: TDM-ModPack 3.30 BETA

Sorry, I didn't feel like searching for this thread. You can delete my post over there if you want to.

You can't view any files in it without installing the whole thing, for one. It offers nothing that WinZip doesn't offer. It forces me to reinstall the Mod Launcher, which is pointless. What would be worse is if a new Version of the Mod Launcher comes out, and then the TDM installer installs and obselete Version.

[edit]
Actually, it is even worse than that. The TDM installer includes a Launcher.ini file! This is extremely bad, as it will overwrite the Launcher.ini file that people already have, which will cause them to lose all stored password. Luckily I didn't install it straight to the SE4 folder.
[/edit]

Zip files are extremely easy to use. Anyone that is downloading files from the internet needs to learn how to use them. The instructions necessary to explain how to install the TDM mod from a zip file would not be very long at all.
