Soooo.. I was thinking. When you download a map with loads of extras like new meshes, new textures, etc. don't you think it's annoying having to folder them all and put them all in the right places manually? That's why I'd think it would be cool if there was some kind of installer which puts all the map files in the right places for you.
For those who've downloaded Feralistic, you'd know that it has it's own installer and you don't need to put any of the new textures and files into the game yourself.
So that's when I thought of this idea. When you press 'export' on the map maker, it would collect all the files and put them in an installer, then you could just upload them to mediafire or another file sharing website and other users could just download it. Then all they'd have to do would be press a few buttons, set the location, and the installer would put all the files in the right places.
I don't know if it's even possible though since I don't know how that kind of thing works.
Thoughts?

Yes please, great idea. I have so many items I've created, terrain textures I've made and Misc Mats, it just takes for ever to make sure I got it all in. When I make a map downloadable I'm always nervous I missed something and check back 100 times because the zip so big. And everything goes who knows where some times.

Map installers would be a wonderful idea. It would be very helpful and easier for users new to downloading a map.
