As me and my fellow programmers used to dryly comment, "Always design the program under the assumption that the user is a complete moron."

Some might say that we are being mean, but we have to try to cater to all people, and try to prevent said people from messing up as best as we can. At least when we do it this way, when the user is really a complete moron, the user will not end up destroying/corrupting his game files because we expected the user to be a complete moron and instilled safeguards, disclaimers, etc... where appropriate.

Well, when I decided to make this, I was making it with the end user in mind. Hence the reason it's packaged in an NSIS installer and not just a straight WeiDU install. Plus, there's safeguards in the code so that if someone tries to install a TOB only component and they don't have TOB, it won't install.

But yeah, I suppose I could make it even more clearly defined.
