I am considering how best to support RP2 in Launch Base.
Anticipating the size of the DLL files to be quite small, I can foresee mods wishing to simply include the neccessary files in the mod's distribution. The only exception to this is pd's Syringe program itself, which at the moment weighs in at 181 KB.
The simplest solution all round is to have mods include the Syringe program itself - this would do away with the need for an RP2 plugin. To ensure the safety of this, I would ask pd to maintain an online list of Syringe checksums, which Launch Base can download to make sure that the program being run is official.
I am also considering removing support for RockPatch 1.
If the above were done then there would not really be any need to support multiple versions of the same plugin, and the only plugin that would ever need to be deactivated would be the TX - as such I would probably simplify the plugins interface and force all plugins other than the TX to activate on Launch Base start.
I'd appreciate input on any and all of the above proposals.

Ever wondered what the hell is going on?
