[Install] Allowing voice-only mod to be installed ontop of full mod manifests as crash when opening video played #182

Currently, the umineko installer doesn't support installing the voice-only mod ontop of the full mod (or vice-versa)

This is because the installer doesn't delete/restore files, it only ever overwrites/adds new files.

So if you try to install voice-only ontop of the full mod, files such as the high-res movie files will be "left over" form the full mod.

This will cause a crash when the voice-only mod attempts to play them, due to the resolution difference.

There is a minor popup in the installer if this is detected, but it's probably better to outright disallow installation, since we've had multiple reports of this problem happening before.

So I would change:

  • On the installer for Umineko, if you attempt to change from full to voice only or vice versa, instead of showing you install options, it should show instructions, telling you to:
    • Delete the whole game folder (copy instructions from FAQ on how to do this)
    • Re-install the game
    • Refresh the webpage (hit ctrl-r) or restart the installer
  • It also may be possible to add a check to the voice-only script (eg "if this full mod file exists, show a warning message"), but it's been so long I've touched any nScripter I can't really be bothered, I might mess something up.
