Proposed development of YR 1.002 Community Patch

[Marshall]

@Blade, I see you're right of course. Very well, I shall include your fixed bio reactor shps (but note that your ygpowr_a.shp is clearly using the arctic shadow. I have fixed this and will include it in the YRCP).
Regarding the Weather Controller - great! can you fix it?
I still need to check out the polish flag loop blip.
But once that's done, the TX should no longer need to include any shps (if you still want to include them in the TX, could you at least replace ygpowr_a.shp with my fixed one?)

Regarding the animated gap gen, it's not really a bug so I don't think it should be forced upon the user. I suppose it could be included as a resource that modders could make use of (provided we had the author's permission) however, it would essentially be providing it with the YRCP instead of with the mods that want to use it. If someone never plays a mod that uses it then they didn't need the resource.
Similarly, I love your new yuri sidebar and I plan to include it in my mod, but not the YRCP, given it's filesize.
If PixelOps or some other central-resource-site gets picked up then such resources should be made available there.

Finally, Blade, what's the score ragarding that TX ini idea I had several posts again?


@DCoder,
1. Okay, thanks! Keep me apprised!

3. Very well, I shall set about fixing the mode file.

5. Good.

6/7. Much appreciated!


Regarding "non-standard" langauge versions:
If we can confirm that a language exists that can accept 1.002, then all we need to do is provide a simple translation in line with those for the "standard" language versions.
I believe that's as far as we should go.
This of course requires, say, an english version whose langmd.mix file has been unofficially patched into, say, a russian version (and that no other changes have been made).


Whew, these posts are getting long.
Hopefully now they should start to get shorter as more of the CP is completed.
I've nearly finished rewriting the Dev Pack.
