PKT stuff
#25
It seems to me that the biggest problem with Assault mode is as follows:

Assault-mods make the user think they have the maps when they might not.

If a mod did not include any assault map refs in a PKT, and a YRO was used for the maps, then the maps would only appear if the user had the YRO AND AN ASSAULT-MOD (bcause the map filters are required to see the maps). So the CSF problem isn't a problem at all (a mod must be in use that supports the mode and so should have the strings - although they may not have them for all maps, but I think that's less of a problem than the "you have the maps but you don't" problem)

Admittedly, custom filters aren't going to work like that - but custom filters can be set up by using a PKT with the mod (although this does reintroduce the "you have the maps but you don't" problem. That said, not many mods use custom filters for Assault mode).



On the crash issue, perhaps the Clean Up program should be made to reset the map filter and game mode index (provided map filter is stored in ra2md.ini of course).
Mod installer programs should do this too.
Ever wondered what the hell is going on?
Believe me friend you're not the only one.
