Name contest: The important question

[richvh]

May I make one suggestions for the LUCKS mod download?

- Including the directory structure of CK in the mod-zip, so as to let the user unzip to the main directory of CK (with 'Use folder names' enabled). That way everything is placed in the right directory in one go.

Not a big issue, but a little user-friendliness. I suspect this thing will grow fairly large within now and very soon. Placing individual files in their correct folder *will* become a chore (not to mention error prone. So you'd have to answer all those 'it don't work..' questions, you know?)

Trouble is, I haven't figured out how to have winzip include the path information. Advice?

I modified the zip myself to include the directories. If you want I can send it to you (if I have an addy, that is...).

The way to do it is:
- Create a directory for the new zip.
- Copy the directory structure of CK, or at least those parts of the directory structure you actual need (You can just copy the directories you need. Just make sure you empty them out after).
- Put all the new files in their correct place in the copied directory structure.
- In the new 'main' directory select all (CNTL-A) and drag and drop in a new zip-file. The directory structure should now be included.

Excellent, and the ball starts rolling....

Good job modders, truly one of the best part of paradoxs games is the effort by the modding community. I dont think I play one of thier titles without one.

Yes, since events are always read from db\events.txt.
