The FCOM team used to support FiveFrie's installation guide,
Irrelevant for discussion.
which was written by a third-party, and I have had Shikishima review my installation guide. Gather your facts, before you spout nonsense.
Does not mean is sanctioned as official installation guideline. Fact!
I have already said that I usually help people follow the "standard" guidelines. There is not a "main party" guide for BAIN for me to point users to. This is simply another false accusation with no backup. Check my posting record, before saying what I do. Apparently, you have no clue... Shikishima had not even tried for the truth, using clear sarcasm, but you simply do not know what you are talking about. If you had even read my posts in the FCOM thread, you would see that I agreed that the FCOM installation instructions, the current instructions maintained in the first post, are fine, and that first statement you made...I have been using FCOM a long time and am very aware of that. Have you read anything that I have written other than my response to Shikishima's post, really? <-- That's sarcasm...partly.
No and I don't care about anyones post history.
What this means is that Team FCOM has to support 2 bases and one is the official base and one is a instruction that is not official. This means it is possible that an error may appear in one and not in the other. Yet Team FCOM has to troubleshoot it and needs to take both bases into equation if they want to help.
Maybe you understand that this means more work for them which is not needed if everybody follows one official guideline.
This is not a direct attack towards you personally, just my obversation.
As for personal posting history or modding history, such stuff is irrelevant. I could say my mod which first appeared (and is still being worked on by me) some weeks/months after OB was released, don't remember, has maybe 2 thousand lines of code, thousands of dialogue, several quests and what not but what has that to do with the discussion? Nothing.
Yes, I see you are posting a lot and helping people. Nothign wrong with that. That is not what I mean may cause trouble.

Anyway, you can do what you want. You are being helpful, I also applaud your effort you put into this.
