My favourite part is when he calls the person trying to help him an idiot, when he's the one who can't figure out how to install a mod that literally installs itself for you.
Except of course for that tiny little problem that I can install a mod just fine, there is no problem with the mod, there's a problem with the newest eDuke deciding the first time you start it up, it somehow takes that first startup directory as a global directory and expects everything in that directory to be present in every directory you startup eDuke32 for some reason if you enable the autoload directory. And if anything that was in that directory isn't present the new directory it now tries to compile non-existing con files and gives an error.
Indeed, if you bothered to fucking read, you would find that the mod installer does what I did manually; he tells me I'm doing something wrong, tells me to downlaod an .exe installer which does it right and something different that what I did, yet the installer does EXACTLY why I did.
You see the problem isn't with me; and people "who are trying to help", they aren't, if they did, they'd actually have read what I wrote and note that nothing they were suggesting would a. solve the problem, and b. doesn't even have anything to do with the problem. The problem is with self-absorbed, smug dipshits who want to feel good being condescending to someone with a problem, and except to either try to notice what the problem is, just dump some basic goto nonsense solution that is neither solution to the problem, it isn't even a solution to what they want to solve; and when someone points that out, they go immediately to insults and more condescending bullshit, and when they do that, they get their own shit thrown back at them.
The thing is, if you read through the thread, you'll find they're a bunch of condescending idiots from the start; and I don't even react to it; and despite the fact that I know it won't actually solve the problem, at best it will circumvent the problem temporarily, I actually went to dutifully do what they asked of me, and simply politely answered that that doesn't work; and instead of going, "Oh, well, let's try something else" or perhaps, "Yikes, that's a rather nasty issue", or perhaps, "well, then I don't know the solution," they just increase the insults and the attacks demanding I do the exact same thing all over again, now with extra condescension and insults, including calling me an idiot for having .con files in the directory, when I have no .con files in the directory as evidence from the fist post I wrote, the starting post of this thread; I quote:

if I put it in my previous Duke3D folder, or create a brand new folder with just the duke3d.grp in there,
That's my first post; and he thinks I have .con files in there; THE VERY FIRST POST.
