I use it in every game; TC and AP.

Hello

Does anyone have a version of this (or a similarly functioning script) that does not require use/installation of the plugin manager (i.e. non-spk version)?

Thanks in advance!

Right-click the .spk and choose "Extract to .zip".

(Requires full PM installation, obviously).

Right... I'm trying to avoid installing the plugin manager. If I absolutely must though, I will. Was hoping someone had a .zip I could use.

Why?

It's a nice tool but the only thing I need it for is this one mod. I can install it, extract this one spk, and then uninstall it but if I can find a zip then I won't need to. I manage my addons manually to avoid issues such as install order problems with cat/dats.

If you run the PM in advanced mode, it has some terrific tools for managing fake patches (including load order).

I install everything with the PM because it is the easiest way to manage installations, including .cats.

(Some package require repacking for proper installation with the PM.

The most notable thing is that .cats should be renamed to a two-digit number (*any* two-digit number). I call them all 20.cat/.dat. The PM will automatically renumber the .cat/.dat pair when it installs.)

I appreciate the heads up about PM use, but from using it years ago I remember several issues using it. I know it can be configured to be more useful but there were lots of addons I used that simply were not suitable for its use. Since it is not and really can not be a solution for ALL addons I personally don't use it for any. Again, it's a nice tool but I'm just not interested in using it beyond possibly extracting an spk here and there. I really would just like a zip version of this script if possible... If not I will use the PM as suggested to extract it.

Thanks for your help Dr. Bullwinkle

Suit yourself.

(But the only scripts/mods that I can think of that are not suitable for PM installation (after proper packaging) are those that require dedicated installers. Which are darned few. )
