Alright, apparently I didn't have much luck in the way of setting up the installer. Also, only today did I realize a more efficient way of making the armband work without having to equip it. That said, I will be starting over on this mod, with the exception of a few files. What does that entail? Well...
Wiping my working TSL directory. Copying the default installed directory, which includes the 1.0b patch. Downloading and installing the newest TSLRCM. Referencing old modified files to (possibly) fresher versions found in TSLRCM. Modify everything all over again. NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE - Rework the installer file so that this mod overwrites -rather than changes - the TSLRCM files (with backups made after using the installer). Play the game all the way through after using the installer the same way I force everyone else to use it, rather than just having everything in my override.
Needless to say, this will take a while, and although I made quite a bit of headway as far as what would have been the next update, I've had at least three people tell me that they couldn't even use the armband, which I wouldn't have been able to figure out. Instead, from here on out, it'll work like an adrenal with unlimited uses and no buff.
Players, I ask for patience. Modders, I'll likely ask for guidance. Moderators, feel free to take down the file. I don't want anyone downloading a defunct mod that only I can get to work perfectly.
