Proposed development of YR 1.002 Community Patch

[Marshall]

My thinking:

YRCP contents: [note that these filsizes already include compression]
[UMP] bug fixes / assault mode / TA maps in standard [~350KB]
Latest pd patch. [~50KB]
Official YR map packs [~850KB]
RA2YR clean up program [~50KB]
YR playlist modifier [~50KB]
xwis connection tool [~100KB]
yrcp mod dev pack [~0KB (it's mainly text as the shp files are now provided by the YRCP)]

Estimated file size for finished package: ~1.42 MB
(If YR maps were not included: ~0.59 MB)

Terrain Expansion [alone]: ~6.21 MB

I believe the TX should remain separate so that low bandwidth users don't have to get it but, more importantly, the TX can be updated independantly of the YRCP.
The only drawbacks are:
1. TX not distributed with cumulative patch.
2. non-TX users vs TX users getting REs.

-----------

Second thought;
Can we include the TX terrain control ini files without the graphics files?
If so, this may alleviate some or all of the REs between people with/without TX.
I could be completely wrong, I need a TX expert to consider this idea.
If it works, the latest TX files will still override by being in expandmd06 (instead of expandmd02).
