I'm just wondering, is anyone busy with developing of some common standard for T3 FMs: how they should install/uninstall, what resources they should include, etc.?
I mean, people who don't know a thing about the Editor should have a possibility to install/uninstall and play T3 FMs just as easily as they do it with T1/2 FMs, and after playing, their original T3 installation should be restored 100% correctly. Otherwise T3 FMs never will be popular.
For now, it seems like there is total mess and uncertainty with procedure of playing T3 FMs. Some people use GarrettLoader, others don't, some FMs work with it correctly, others don't, etc. This situation just limits quantity of potential players. Something should be done with it, the sooner the better.

I think the general concencus is that we're all working towards the same goal of a unified standard....but until we figure out how things work...it's pretty much trial and error. Time my friend, time.
