New Mod, no place to post!

Try ro stay away from the self-extractors. People get wary of anything with an .exe extension. Silly worries about their computer contracting the black plague or somesuch.

I like self-extractors.

Ok, I RARed your mod and got it to 28.9 MBs, which is under 30 MBs. Again, did you use the Best compression method?

I chose to zip the files for two other reasons. 1 - I have Windows XP, and it creates and browses zip files as tho they were folders (w/out WinZip). 2 - Most people can deal with zip files. Also, as was mentioned, a self-extracting .exe file sometimes inspires worry.

QR's worries about .exe are somewhat overblown... most people that are going to be getting mods for SE4 are not the kind that are that superstitious about computers.

Most people can handle RARs, once you tell them to get a non-WinZip archive utility. Change must be started at some point... I personally plan on releasing very few files in zip format unless they are very small (a few KBs, for example).

[Wydraz]

OK, Imp. I'm sorry. I'm a zip-loving doody head. WinRar rules!!!

[Fyron]

Umm... that was not my intention. As long as you at least use WinRar to make the zips so that the file size will be smaller (as long as you use the Best compression method), I will be happy.

[Wydraz]

OK, Then. I'm not sorry. You're a rar-loving doody head. WinRar sucks!!!

What a quick change of loyalties.
