Modders, after patch 1.2 release, please advise on compatibility

You guys probably do that anyway, but you know how patch anxiety affects the more hyper among us (me

).

After I patch I will wonder which mods are safe to reinstall again. I guess that the readme can guide me somewhat, but I hope that as soon as you modders have the time you will look at any patch fixes that affect your mods and advise us. Thanks for all you work.

The only ones that I'll re-install for the time being are the sound and radio/gramaphone ones. Any other mod remotely related to .cfg file changes I will hold off on until they are compatible with the latest patch.

I wonder...if a mod is designed or altered to work with patch 1.2, but would fail with earlier versions, maybe changing the [REL] to [REL1.2] in the thread title would help.

It depends If the mod was an improvised fix that effected the
same files as the Patch fix then it might work to harm the good
done by the patch.

I was looking at patch 1.1 to see if it could easily be explored with WinZip in hopes that I could do the same with 1.2. That way I could see ahead of time which files get overwritten, but no go.

Of course, it could be that some of the problems addressed by mods will actually be fixed with the patch. Here's hoping.

I'm especially interested in the mod that fixes the radar not working when heading south. This mod requires a lot of editing so I used a version that includes the entire file already edited. Does the patch affect this file?
