As you know, we distrubute the mod through a download and then the player uses Mod Manager to install it.
In the past I have always had an issue over this because of the fact that if you have a problem with one for the files in the mod, you need to upload a full mod version with the fix. You cant just disribute the file on its own as the other players d/l the mod and dont have it. For this reason I had always looked for a solution with an updater and came close a few times over the years but one reason or other caused us not to use one.
I would like to use an updater so that the mod can be developed with small changes at a time rather than making a whole mod and then testing it etc etc which takes a lot longer than drip feeding changes in. The other thing is that if theres a change and its causing a problem it can be reverted back immediately.
Does anyone have any opinions or experiences on on this concept they would like to share?

Me and Steve think this is a good thing and should've been done sooner

I support this change, it could be a good add-on flexible bugfixes and event modification can be aded or removed relatively fast

Although it is clear that real life and his everyday troubles comes first than The Void, The Void needs more than anything else - just anything.
Keep going strail.
