Could spaces be used in the folder name of WeiDU mod?

[Creepin]

The title says it all All the mods I've checked so far use underscore or simply no space between words when it comes to the mod folder name which is formed by several words, so I wonder if it's WeiDU technical requirement or just done out of habit?

It seems to work fine, but it is not compatible with setup-mymod.exe unless you run the binary from a shell and quote or escape the spaces. The OS will not do that for you if you try to double-click the file. I don't know if it has ever been explicitly supported, however, so there might be edge cases that break.

Thank you Wisp! I won't lie that I fully understand what "run the binary from a shell and quote or escape the spaces" means, but I try out and see if it will work

If you are running WeiDU from a shell you may as well skip the stupid idea that is setup-mymod.exe altogether and simply do

Code: [Select]

weidu "mod with spaces/mod with spaces.tp2" [optional options]

WeInstall does not support spaces, so there is that.

Edit: or use Zeitgeist. Spaces seem to work fine.

So that shell you keep mentioning is something like command line? Don't want that hassle, what I meant was whether Setup-Mod With Spaces.exe would run fine on doubleclick, pick up Setup-Mod With Spaces.tp2 and install contents of "Mod With Spaces" folder as intended

Actually, I have to correct my previous statement. setup-mod with spaces.exe does work on Windows 10, at least. Other OSs may not behave the same way.

Thank you Wisp, this fully answers my question.

Not sure it if will work with WeiDU or not as I haven't tried, but file names with spaces are not recommended on Linux and may cause problems with many different tools.
