Kit Revisions Beta 21


Recommended Posts

Hello,

As mentioned in the Kit Revisions Beta 20 thread, I've informed Demi that I had updated the last version of KR with a French translation. Thanks to him, he gave me his approval to release it. So any willing (French ^^) beta tester is welcome.

Here is KR Beta 21 and the new changelog:

It would be helpful to package the new version without the extra folder wrapper. This way tools like BWS could integrate the new mod version. The way it is packed now in the zip would only allow manual extraction and subsequent moving of files to the game folder.

Sure I'd like to but I don't know how to pack my files (kit_rev & setup-kit_rev) into an .exe file like most of other mods. I'm all ears :help:

I am talking about this

not some exe-nonsense, With this packaging, you extract the zip to your game folder and have the mod folder and the setup,exe where they should be.
