Yes it would make it better. it's very confusing installing sub-mods somtimes

I agree, I'm pretty good with computers, but scripting and some of the stuff they ask us to do in order to use these submods is a little much

Hi, anyone who wants to be a mod, try another forum this one is not hiring, and impersonating mods is illegal (yes it is, read the TOS)

Let's go on topic, and if I see anyone else fighting over not being a mod and that, I'll gladly delete all related posts, and warn you.. Sound fair?

(Please note, that's a rhetorical question. It means do no answer this post)

Why can't hoppah just make an updater like winterberg mod or use svn,makes things a lot easier to update.

Meh, it's not that bad to just grab the new versions from the website

I think Hoppah's additional units submod is going to have an .exe installer. I agree it would make it easier to install submods.

It does have the installer. Just to clarify, I dont think the exe installer is a bad thing, just dont find it to be any easier for entire mods then it is to use an e4mod. I realize ease of use wasnt the only factor, since the EXE offered better compression, but I think its better suited for submods since it seems people find it so hard to install them.

Why can't hoppah just make an updater like winterberg mod or use svn,makes things a lot easier to update.

Because Hoppah doesnt release a new version every 6 months or so like Winterberg?

I cant answer for Hoppah of course, but I would guess its due to the fact most people wouldnt figure out how to get the files from an SVN repo. The files arent changed often enough to warrant an SVN repo imo. Plus we would be flooded with millions of posts about where to put the files when there downloaded.

That's your opinion. I think the updater is totally useless. What's wrong with downloading a single package and a patch? And did you know that the mod package is almost 50% smaller than the whole mod unpacked (= installed)? In case of an installer like that you would need to download about 300 mb instead of 180 mb. Huge difference. Good reason not go that way.

Excellent point; no need to an updater as I am content with adding an occasional patch here and there. I've had Micorosoft Windows since I was teenager some xy years ago - that's the nature of the beast.
