In the MapMods section it was agreed some time ago to have a folder root/MODS/STD for common files.
This was brought about due to static.ini clashes between different object mods.
The inclusion of the Static_AC mod in the recent UI is causing problems to many people because it creates duplicate copies of *.ini files.
In my installation STD contains the following folders
com ---- containing subfolders for *.ini (air.ini, chief.ini, ships.ini, static.ini, stationary.ini, technics.ini)
gui --- containing subfolders for background and buttons files
i18n --- containing *.properties
and also (less importantly)
presets
samples
If the STD became the standard folder for these items then mod management will become much easier for many IMOH. At present there seems to be many cases of users, particularly new users, being completely baffled with CTD problems caused by duplicate copies of files being installed.
