I don't see that as an argument against using FMSel. No-one has suggested starting with an empty zip file. "Make a folder... etc" is a clear set of instructions, and someone incapable of following them would no doubt struggle with lots of other instructions.

You guys have certainly made a convincing argument on using FMSel for modding. The concept of having a dedicated folder for each project under ONE INSTALL is very attractive. Currently, I have SIX installs of Thief, one for each project. Sloppy and inefficient.
I'm converted. :angel:

un-lurking...
I might become potential user of this tutorial if I decide to come back to FM editing. I would then need some source covering old basics, how to establish T2 install for editing at the beginning etc. (I only built 2 FMs and always worked witk Komag Tut printed for reference waiting on my desk. Step by step.) but also taking under consideration that this time I would definitely use NewDark. What I've read about it when it shown up was amazing. All those limits extended/removed. Exciting!
As for the discussion about good practices of keeping resources separate - i think it should definitely be covered from the start if there are good methods of keeping things in order.
Those are basic good practices.
I was very new to game editing at all when starting with Komag Tutorial, but the need of keeping things separated for future convenience came very early. Both my little missions were edited in directories organised as separate repositories, but I also had separate T2 installs, one for testing, one for editing and maybe even more.
If there is good way of running those things which reduces the redundancy of instals etc. I would tell people from start. Even if at that point I will see it as not-so-basic stuff I would put it as an bonus advice at least, mentioning, that this will help in the future when peoples work grow and get more custom-resource :)
So good luck with this project nicked! I will remember about this thread and thank you in advance for your effort :)

Your a SuperStar Firehawk. I attempted to do this myself but couldn't find PDF Editor suitable. First one didn't work and the 2nd download I couldn't activate ! :/ What wares you using ? Id be interested as I would like to clean up your PDF even further !
Still as it stands its still much better than saving web pages
