hi bar,
seems the downloads, downloads, downloads thread got closed here and in the tavern. lol. i wasnt done being pissy yet ;)
ok, i forgot about the mp side of things. and yes, i suppose you would get an out of sync because of the modded building_prod and unit_prod, even though no units were actually modded. so, ok, i see your point on that one.
my point is that someone coming into the files area and specifically looking for a new campaign to play isnt going to look at a 'stat/mod' file to fulfill his need; he's going to go to the 'sp campaign' files to find what he needs.
maybe a third designation or classification for organizing these things would be good. my mod really isnt about modded stats for units. but the file would affect mp, i suppose. perhaps you could make a third category something like 'sp campaign/stats/mods' or something. or, just add a tag onto the 'stat/mod' so that it would read 'sp campaign/stat/mod' or, 'stat/mod/sp campaign'. just something to let folks know that this is an sp campaign mod. right now it looks like a unit stat mod the way it's designated.
hmm, i'm also wondering now if the building_prod file is checked for mp, and why would it be? it has nothing to do with mp.
and in the unit_prod file, the only thing i modded had to do with the ships, but, i guess that would still screw up the mp stuff file checks. no way around that one if they're doing checksum checks on the entire file.
at any rate, even if you only added the 'sp campaign' designation after the 'stat/mod' designation, i'd be happy. just something to let folks know this isnt just a unit stat mod.
