What format for files do you prefer?

Now that I'm starting up more with modding stuff myself, I just want to ask a quick question. When I mod PD2, I never used the actual Bundle Tool with .pdmods and such (althought I do use the tool now), I just only downloaded the .rar files and extracted the folders for mod_overrides. I had a friend who said .pdmods were just more difficult in general because of updating, and more work when new patches come out and stuff.

But now that I am making mods myself, I just want to know if more people use the Bundle Tool and the .pdmod formats and installing/uninstalling mods through the tool, or do more people just use .rar format and just placing in the mod_overrides. I know they generally just do the same thing, I just don't know what I should be doing for when I upload, do I want to upload more bundle tool stuff and .pdmods or just give you a .rar with a folder for mod_overrides. I just want to make stuff that more people would actually use (like how people advertise to the larger opinion or to make according to the majority). I just want your opinion, and if YOU make mods, what do YOU do?

I believe most people will prefer the mod_override method. However, some mods are just not possible with this (such as those that require .object changes).

I would say, IF you can, make a mod work with mod_override. Then you should.

If not. well, i hope your fans respect that.


As you know i like the Mod_overrides more than .PDMODs.. i have had to re-download 8 gig worth of pd2 bundles due to me being an absolute potato around 5 times....

If i do use .PDMODS i will ALWAYS backup the current Assets folder to my desktop :P

It does back up automatically to a backup folder :P
