excellent readme Options

[berelinde]

The installation instructions and compatibility descriptions in the readme are comprehensive and well done.

I know it is impossible and even undesirable to include compatibility issues for every mod. Ordinarily, NPC mods are not affected by other types of mods. However, I believe the Amber mod by Meira and Darios might have some issues due to a Cromwell dialog modification. I believe the issue had more to do with Item Upgrade, so there probably won't be compatibility issues with Improved Anvil.

The point of this post, however, was to praise the completeness of the readme instructions.

The space is a windows command line problem, not weidu, not notepad.
It happened with the dltc installer too when people installed it into spacy folders.

How could Amber+IU or IA+IU work if IU always replaces the 13th state.
To me that stuff is a flawed design.

Well, from what I understand (although I'm not all that familiar with IA), IA+IU is not a valid combination (I think Sikret said that somewhere). And the reason why Amber+IU works is that when IU replaces state 13, it is kind enough to move the old state 13 to the end of the file using COPY_TRANS, which will also move all the changes Amber makes to state 13 along with the original state 13 (which will still be available via the new states added by IU). It's kinda hard to explain but it works.

But yes, in the light of present-day WeiDU fucntionality, this "state 13 pokery-jiggery" (as Cam put it) really is sub-optimal coding. But then again, I think it was done a *long* time ago, and may have been the only way possible back then. But yeah, no-one should use it anymore and there has been talk of updating IU to use a more elegant way of accomplishing the same result.
