I edited my original post to include the fixes and changes.

Now we find out how many mods it breaks :-?

rrmelend 11-27-07 12:57 PM

Sweet, thanks fo the heads up.

Compatability?
 
Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what effect this patch will have on mod's like Trigger_Maru and ROW?
In other words, how compatible is this?

Thanks and regards,
fvd

Looking at the fixes, I would say not many.

Boo! I don't wanna think about it:o . Seriously, I guess it's time to unload all the mods, make a copy of the game folder, install the patch and compare every file from the patched game to every file of the 1.3 vanilla game. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes or so:arrgh!: Or, if we're really lucky, there might be a list of changed files that we could get our hands on?

Fincuan 11-27-07 01:07 PM

The 20 km visibility mod alone is worth the wait :up:

All the rest is added bonus for me :D

Ready to get off work now! Unfortunately work is not ready to get off me!:rotfl:

And mods are compatible with games, not the other way around;) We're back at square zero! Some mods are unnecessary (ask Leo about ROW), others won't work. Better to learn the game naked (with a friend) first anyway! I'm stoked.:up:
