I'd released a mod as omod only and gotten hellfire for it, so I was pissed and belligerent and wrote that. BSAs didn't exist at the time (at least, as far as I knew), either, so OMODs offered unparalleled organization for mods (heh, and I forgot about them entirely the first time I wrote this). | ::[[User:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric Runes" size=2>D</font>ragoon <font face="Oblivion,Daedric Runes" size=2>W</font>raith]] [[User_talk:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric" size=2>TALK</font>]] 20:30, 3 September 2006 (EDT): First, that section of my profile's old; just want you to realize that.

::Now that BSAs are available, they're also good - my preference would probably be a BSA packed into an omod. That way I can keep all of the documentation (in most cases) with the .esp, and the two-click install/uninstall is still better than a BSA. Also, I do script my .omod's, which is extremely useful and impossible with BSAs. | ::Now that BSAs are available, they're also good - my preference would probably be a BSA packed into an omod. That way I can keep all of the documentation (in most cases) with the .esp, and the two-click install/uninstall is still better than a BSA, but I can also keep the data files compressed in the BSA while it's installed.

::Anyway, I completely agree about the annoyances that the conflict detector causes - but it '''is''' a useful tool for those who are aware of exactly what a given conflict means. Timeslip himself will admit that it's not meant to mean that there is necessarily a problem, and he has done quite a bit to true and explain to people that they don't have to freak out about conflicts. | ::Anyway, I completely agree about the annoyances that the conflict detector causes - but it '''is''' a useful tool for those who are aware of exactly what a given conflict means.
