Would it really be reasonable to expect Pedrobas to update a supermod whenever new 'must have' mods show up?
I do think it's by far more likely we'll have a well running and pretty updated MMM if its packages can be updated separately.
Besides - we've all seen what happens when the level of ambition/devotion is closing in to a point where yet new issues occur and the whole thing becomes unmanageable.
The cause of a new issue related to a single package is easier and quicker to find and we'll all benefit from it.

Yet another thing I've been thinking of is that many glitches, CTDs and other incomprehensible issues seem to be related to mod soups including one ore more rather heavy mods.
When the reasons to these issues get tracked down they are most often found to be (or supposed to be) conflicts between a quite small mod and a considerably bigger one.
Occasionally these smaller mods are simply left out, which is a waste of the modder's work.
Sometimes it can even be practically impossible to find what's causing a certain glitch.

As there are so many different computer configs many problems we all sometimes run into can't be explained in another way than that many issues are hardware related.

Because of this I think packages will be more flexible and let more of us enjoy the 'MMM-My Mega Mod'.

Agreed.....absolutely.

Classic example was the recent hydrophone problem. If the mod was one large package the cause would have taken an age to track down, whereas it worked out really well as, we as testers were able to assist pedrobas in finding the culprit, and the search could be split into manageable parts and sharing the work out rather than leaving it just to pedrobas.

I'm a big fan of having it in parts.

BTW thanks so much for your time and hard work you put into this mod pedrobas. I think this needed doing for some time as the mod soups were getting rather confusing. Now, once this brilliant work is finalised, we all can have the same foundation mods installed that we know will work well together and when something new comes along issues with that will hopefully be easier to find, as we all will be playing on the same fiddle so to speak!!

Well done pedrobas

Hello Pedrobas! Have tested MMMv0.2 with no problems. There were no any CTD when starting new career, and everything else works stable, thats OK

I have one question to clearify: does 'SteelVikings bunker fixes mod' is a part of any other already and if not then may be to merge it in MMM (i think its 'neutral' re. tastes of the community and nobody should reject if it is a part of MMM)

Thanks a lot

'SteelVikings bunker fixes mod' is not part, you can test it and inform here if it´s ok.
You mean MMM v0.2 or v0.3?

Version 0.2.

And 'SteelVikings bunker fixes' applied between p.2 and p.3 works good!
As for v.0.3 - how are things with p.5 full? If any serious problems then may be to leave it as v.0.2 which is tuned already. I understand this part is the most 'heavy' and complicated, so may be there is no reason to overload it too much?

Do you use p3-TDW UI or do you use a different UI? and another question, do you have ATI or Nvidia Graphic card?
