RE: Revision  #0035 - VK - 10.12.2006
Quote:No, it isn't. 'cause it requires highest-level overrides. That way, there is no way to override RP.CSF (for whatever reason that might necessary), only to replace it.Nobody need override it
without exceptions
override RA2MD.CSF or add new string tables instead of it.
Also I think about protection.
Game will not run without ROCKPATCH.MIX or with wrong version of it
Quote:It would save people the trouble of having to download 2 separate files.I thought the installer will install language-specific rp.csf file automaticly
RE: Revision  #0035 - Marshall - 11.12.2006
Yes, but what about my point?
Also, what is the order of csf overrides? In what order are the various csf files read?

There are always exceptions, this is just being short sighted. Who knows what reasons people might have to modify or override that file long after this project is no longer maintained? Same point goes for the game not running without rockpatch.mix.

Quote:Yes, but what about my point?I don't like it, because I need make a lot of MIXs
If you want you can do it
I will send only English mix to you,
and you will make another versions

RP-Gen means you won't need to send anything to me, unless RP-Gen needs functionality changes.
I will write RP-Gen to take csf files for the non-English langauges, but if you change your mind in future, then I will need to update the RP-Gen program so that patches can be generated.
RE: Revision  #0035 - Bobingabout - 12.12.2006
here is an idea. why not let cncvk include a seperate RP.CSF, then have launch base, after an RP installation, check for a loose RP.CSF, and if it exists, use the .MIX DLL/CLT thing, to merge it into ROCKPATCH.MIX?
as for making it not work without ROCKPASTCH.MIX, don't do that...

Bobingabout Wrote:check for a loose RP.CSF, and if it exists, use the .MIX DLL/CLT thing, to merge it into ROCKPATCH.MIX?Could do, but it's additional special-case coding that I'd rather not worry about if it's not neccessary.
RE: Revision  #0035 - VK - 15.12.2006
So what method we will use?
I think the best method - English-only mix and csf file in YR dir
RE: Revision  #0035 - Bobingabout - 15.12.2006
it doesn't matter to me either way, but i think the best option is to have RP.CSF inside ROCKPACH.MIX in all cases.
RE: Revision  #0035 - Marshall - 15.12.2006
I agree with Bobingabout, but will write RP-Gen to do what CnCVK wants.
