And I don't get this "oh no the game will crash" problem. Modern technology allows you to extract only certain files out of a zip file! Problem solved.
Yes, but does Joe Random User a) know how to do that or b) care about it? All he wants to do is to unzip the whole thing somewhere and then go play. He doesn't want to have to monkey around with multiple versions of the same tileset, idiots who set their level to "hide from hcl", idiots who set all their levels to "show in hcl" so he doesn't know where to start, idiots who use massive filenames so you cant read the levelname in the hcl list, and then suddenly have jazz crashing? If J.R.U. downloaded a new level pack, and then straight after jazz started crashing for no good reason, I'd bet that he would go and delete all the files from that levelpack and not play it (and probably leave a review saying "omg this crases jj2 dont play it").

Wow, that was a bit of a rant. I've had all of those except for JJ2 crashing happen to me. And don't get me started about people that don't include tilesets "because everyone will have them" and for some obscure reason fail to mention this in the readme.

BTW, that wasn't directed at anyone here (except for the first couple of sentences). Just about everything I've downlaoded from here has behaved itself.
