Daggerfall Workshop Forums

Maybe consider making some kind of stickied post on the subreddit?

If this is really a best practice that should be enforced, I'd put some logic directly into Daggerfall Unity, because you're never sure documentation will be read and understood...

I link to the H&S topic for installing Daggerfall on the subreddit (see links on right side). I don't think a sticky is also needed at this time. And thank you for all your help answering support queries on subreddit, I noticed you're fairly active there.

I can't enforce how people unzip things on their computer, and I don't feel this would be a helpful course to set upon. All the information people need to setup properly is in the H&S sticky. I trust in the intelligence of others and believe that most people get this right first time without much hassle. We only see the outliers more because they're the ones having troubles and asking for help.

I also want to move in a different direction (see my earlier comments). I regard this stage of distribution as a standing compromise during development, not an end point. With a little persistence and luck, things can improve.

Working from home man. A lot of spare time and no one looking over my shoulder

Although the links to installing are there on the right side, I doubt many notice or read them. Your eyes get kinda sucked to the feed on the left.

Fair enough! I'll sticky the link to H&S topic at top of subreddit now.
