Default Re: Whats the best Pretender MOD?

Many of the mods dont package standardly. Some put everything (.dm images text etc) in the MOD dir. Some start the package within its own directory (forcing you to move the .dm out), some start in the mod dir as the base path, some start in the dominions3 dir as the base path which causes it to create a MOD dir beneath the MOD dir if you unpack it in the MOD dir as you would many of them.

A menu option, or a third party program, would be nice for creating a standard package. Or even a section in the MOD FAQ with some recommendations. In particular Id like to see an effort to enforce a mod-name-README.txt with at least basic description in a nice standardized format. Maybe the CBM authors could set something up.
(yeah I know, ME of all people preaching standards)

But never the less, some of the best mods available need some understanding of the desired structure in order to move things around alittle bit to make them work.

What was that about the worth of it?
Funny but it seemed to match the cost.
