Multiple non-conflicting mods

[Marshall]

If there is to be mix generation then I think this should be handled by the install-maker. Then the files can always be copied loose by Launch Base (Launch BAse doesn't have to have mix generation capability but the install-maker does).

I feel that single archive files are not a good idea because:
Benefit: improved security, however users can still alt-tab out of YR to get at the files.
Drawback: Takes longer to activate mod because I have to extract the files before moving them to the RA2 folder (to ensure nothing is overwritten without backing up first).
Drawback: Extra complexity in the install-maker interface.
Drawback: Extra complexity in program code - will take me longer to complete the programs and increase the risk of errors.

As for xcml files, it may be hard for me to incorporate them and carries the same drawbacks as above. Further more, Launch Base will still require a liblist.gam so I would have to include even more code to detect and read xcml files as a separate procedure to the standard way.
It seems to me that reading xcml files is far more trouble than it is worth.

If DCoder can include the LeechKiller mix protection in a mix generator dll as an option then that should provide sufficient security.
However, if anyone disagrees with the above points about single archive files then please say.
