Hey Wolverine,

This is from the RFB 1.52 release thread (initial post), but it's down near the bottom so perhaps you missed it. I think it should clear away your concerns for the most part:

Quote:
"RSRD overwrites some files in RFB that are the same in all aspects in both mods. The reason those files are in RFB also is RFB already had campaign changes in it and they are left in there for people who don't want to use RSRD. The other files RSRD overwrites in RFB replaces the RFB campaign mods. Yes this changes the campaign files in RFB, but that's actually desirable because RSRD is a different, vastly more comprehensive and better developed mod than the campaign mod in RFB. So they are considered compatible because you only gain additional features by overwriting files, but you don't get conflicts.

Does this explanation makes sense?

Because of the fact the mods are built independently, it's not possible to have files that never overwrite."
In short the RFB Campaign stuff(files) are getting overwritten by the RSRD Campaign stuff and that's a good thing with regard to these two particular mods.

BUT, it's always a good idea to do as you've done and pay close attention to what the Mod Enabler is telling ya. Some mods don't come with near enough info as to what they are or are not compatible with so it can be crap shoot at times.
