Please start packaging mods as full versions like how one gets mayday's graphical tileset.

The only reason to do this is for total conversion mods, since those are more involved.  For everything else, just past the new raws into dwarffortressfolder/raw/objects and gen a new world.  Simple.

[Sethner Von Hertts]

I was talking about total conversions, like the zombie, wasteland, or dark dwarf mods, none are fully packaged(IE: A whole different copy).

[Sethner Von Hertts]

.......

[slink]

You mean, including the executable?

[Sethner Von Hertts]

yes, basically unzip then you are ready to play.

[LegoLord]

I'm not sure if all those authors are still actively looking at the modding section on a regular basis.  Might be a good idea to send out a few personal messages

[Sethner Von Hertts]

hmm..... good idea, but Im too lazy

It's hard to make a topic then it is to send out personal messages.

What?
If by wasteland you mean Fallout mod, it comes as a full archive and an Installer. Also my DF Complete mod comes as a full archive. Hell, all of my recent mods are full packages. What are you talking about?

Well, it's easier than to start a new thread and post a few messages in it. And why do you want ALL mods to come like that? If you have problems with some specific mod installation, anyone here may help you or even provide a full executable. Don't be afraid to ask.

You're lying. There's at least one TConversion mod that's packed as diff copy. And if you're lazy to make own copy and paste the raws, how can you wait a year in DF? If mods' authors would be lazy, you would have to make the mods yourself [/random_post]

Not to be rude but I think that you might have put your finger on the problem.

help someone do the work for me, it's too hard to copy, paste and swap a few folders!

[Lancensis]

To be honest, I'd rather people didn't do this. Especially if they saved it as a .rar. It makes the download take a great deal longer, and since I tend to scour through dozens of mods, looking for bits that'd go well with what I've already got, the unused spare DF exe.s tend to pile up.

Also think about linux users!
