This was getting to be a problem around December when everyone started including "extra stuff" in their mods and makes mod compatibility a huge headache which made the installation order so particular and such a PITA.

Increasing compatibility is one of the reasons the RFB campaign is being stripped out and placed into a seperate folder for the next release. It's also the reason all environmental files are being stripped from the next release of RFB too. Again, it was the reason for the RFB zones file being placed in a seperate folder in this release.

It's also why your idea of keeping the ROW sound files a seperate install was such an excellent idea.

Hi Swdw,
Yes you are right, I get your point. That's allso the reason why there is no menu.ini in PE2 :hmm: (where do you see that in PE2?) I have on purpose tried to only mod and include textures and files not messing with other mods, so that PE2 works with RFB and TM and RSRD.

Maybe it wasnt an good idea to include Oakgrooves mod, so if you think it's conflicting with other mods, I will remove it from the next release or include it as an optional install.
