Proposed development of YR 1.002 Community Patch

[Marshall]

@Bobingabout:
Interesting. What files from the mix are unneccessary?

@DCoder/all:
Right now, the project is planned to include the following:

YR 1.001 patch (English) - only offered if not already installed (compulsory)
YR 1.002 UMP - core files (permanent) & mod launcher (for basic Assault)
YR Terrain Expansion (2.02)
Rock Patch (1.06)
Official YR Map Packs
Assault Map Packs 1-2 - IFF Cannis agrees
RA2YR Clean Up program
YR Playlist Modifier
XWIS Connection Tool
UMP Developer's Pack
Start Menu Shortcuts

I have yet to sort out the Rock Patch and updated Clean Up program.
I also need to finish the new version of the UMP and Dev Pack.
Like the TX installer, this one will need to provide the TX ini files for mapping - I need to sort that out.

My patching dreams have fallen through, however I believe the package will be little more than 15MB.

It looks like patching langmd.mix will not be possible - so the fixed strings won't be either - the fixed strings can only be included via the UMP mod or another UMP-supporting mod.
All that could be done for multiple language versions would be 1.001 patch and translated installer/UMP mod/etc.


Right now I'd say the most useful thing others could help with would be the following:

A. Are there any official maps that have no water but still allow the building of Naval Yards? If so, we need fixed versions.

B. Are there any official maps that modify infantry? If so, the pip stuff needs restating.

C. Can the three YR Map Pack maps be easily fixed? [IrvineCa.yro, MonsterM.yro, MoonPatr.yro; I couldn't see how to fix these because of the garbage at the top of the files. Is it worth fixing or should we just leave the prism bug in those maps?

D. Attack Dogs in land rush are incorrectly addressed in the current UMP. How should they be addressed?

E. Is there anything you can see that is incorrect in the current UMP (esp. main fixes, but also the extra info too) that needs to be fixed?
