ok, in RA2 you had MMX files, these were mix files renamed to .mmx which contained 1 map file and its pkt. i assume it would be possible to include multiple maps in these mmx map packs. in YR there is suposed to be the equivalant YRO file (same as mmx, renamed mix extention) as documented by deezire, however, they don't work (atleast not in 1.001)
PKTs don't even work in normal mix files, so it apears the whole chunk of code has somehow become disabled. what would be nice would be to see these YRO files re-enabled, or added in aswell as multiple PKTs being loose in the directory folder.
(EDIT: Aparantly i was mistaken here. YRO files do work!![Wink Wink](https://forums.renegadeprojects.com/images/smilies/002.gif)
Advantages of more than 1 PKT?
currently, in assault, the standard agrees that every mod that uses them includes all maps listed in the mods PKT. the dissadvantage of this is that all the maps are listed, even if the maps do not exist, the advantage of multiple PKTs would be that every map pack could contain their own PKTs and have maps listed only when they have actually been installed. Although you can currently use multiple PKTs, all maps in all but 1 of the PKTs are listed twice.
being able to place the PKT in the mix with the map pack(.mix or .YRO) would be nice, but even multiple loose PKTs would be good.
