OK sorry. I thought you were talking about textures on the stratmap.

I've only used the mod folder set up and as far as the models_strat changes go they don't get picked up under 1.2 from within a mod folder (at least the banners don't and I guess the same for the others).

However for the textures in the units_models folder this now picks up from the mod folder so I would of guessed they should pick up OK with the launcher.

I know this isn't explicitly about the launcher but as I understood it the launcher just set up a means so people could change their registry as an improvement over using .cfg files and shortcuts/bat files.
