• Finds Descent 3's installation folder.
• Automatically removes remains from previous versions to avoid inconsistencies and server/client incompatibilities.
• Installs StartSP to invoke the mod without removing the batch file option.

More info on this new installer can be found in Installation of Pyromania.

Pyromania is quite a nice extension for Descent 3. It introduces both, a new game type and a new "way of experiencing Descent 3".

The game type is a modified anarchy version. In a standard game, almost all weapons are replaced with different versions, and Pyromania offers several new ships in addition to the already known ones.

Plenty of more information and the mod itself can be found at the Pyromania homepage.
