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?
Noooo...?
Pdmod files can do much, much, much more than mod_override. As you can see by the list of file types I put in. If mod_override could do exactly the same as mod_override could (which isn't the case) pdmods would be close to pointless, except for being used as a mod management system.
For the small list of mod_override supported filetypes I listed, any files of those variety when present in a pdmod and installed with the 1.16 Bundle Modder (With the option enabled) will be installed in the mod_override folder. But that is a small list, so mods such as Lower Shadow map, which replaces a post_processor file HAS to be installed with the Bundle Modder and installed into the bundles as it cannot work with mod_override.
