About AutoMOD
AutoMOD is a tool for installing MODs in an automated manner. It performs the file edits for you. As of today, AutoMOD is considered a stable release, meaning we believe all the serious bugs have been removed, and will provide support for any which do still exist.

Installation
Copy the contents of the root directory to your forum root and point your browser to: http://[yourdomain.tld]/install/index.php.

Updating
For updates you can either use AutoMOD itself or do the same as for installs. Make sure to answer "Yes" if your upload tool asks for permission to overwrite files. You can update directly from AutoMOD 1.0.0 to 1.0.2.

Hopefully this is a more reliable version. I remember in the past that unless you had a stock install, AutoMOD was practically impossible to use. Either it would fail, or it would provide you with an error that took more time to fix. Has anyone tried it out yet?

 

It's called the "Amsterdam hangover"...wut?
