Proposed development of YR 1.002 Community Patch

[Marshall]

If unofficial language versions of 1.001 exist and we can have their CSF files and a translator then we can make their language version of 1.002.

From a language point of view, this is how the YRCP will work:

1. lots of stuff is installed via expandmd02.mix (shps, inis, everything needed to effect most of the UMP and support the TX)

2. an XCCMC/L is used to provide updated PKT and CSF, as well as the inis needed to enable the Assault game mode and a Minor Super mode.


Ideally, we'd rather have done part 2 using a PKT and CSF inside expandmd02.mix but that is not possible.

The YRCP installation program will be in multiple language versions. What this means is that the installer dialogs will be translated, and the installer will install a specific XCCMC/L file that contains the appropriate CSF translation.

Users of the YRCP are expected to run the XCCMC/L file when playing unmodded YR.
Users can just run YR normally, but this means:
1. No assault mode
2. No minor super mode
3. No standard/team alliance map freedom
4. No fixed strings
5. No playlist modifier strings
6. No multiplayer compatibility with users who are running via XCCMC/L

Mod authors are expected to include the fixed strings in their mod (as well as the 1.002 ini stuff, etc) and the PKT entries if they wish to support the same map freedom and/or assault maps. All that info will be provided in the YRCP dev pack.
Dev pack info will be geared towards XCCMC/L.
