	Thanks for merging them As far as NPatch goes... I play Freelancer as well, and having to keep track of 'this mod works only with this version of the mod manager' is a royal pain. If I have just the one mod package, then I can install it, play, and enjoy- no extra steps and trouble-shooting required. Especially if it's a mod like this, where I'd want to be passing it around at a LAN party. My brother and I have played Red Alert for years, we love it as a game, and enjoy playing it over the LAN. Same with a lot of other RTS games. But when we have four or more people together, some of them WILL screw up installations. A simpler package installation process is always better, in those cases. Also, this is totally off-topic, but I'm going insane. When playing Red Alert, I - for nostalgia reasons - like to play it with the original DOS-scale infantry. They just fit with the size of the vehicles and buildings better. But I can't find the patch any more, that replaces the RA95 units with the DOS units. Anyone know where I can download that?

	Well if someone has coded their mod for the old Rock Patch it'll work on that, but VK has changed things in NPatch that means RP mods won't work.

	What, no backward compatibility? I don't follow it all that closely, y'see.

	It's just nicer to know it'll always work without any input from me, it's a pain if a few months down the line something changes and the mod stops working correctly. It's also naff for people trying to play mods if they've got a mod that works on RP1.08, one that works on NPatch and one that works on RP2 (if that is out/ever appears, I don't follow it). They've got to keep swapping patches aswell as mods.

	Merg'd your posts. I'm not sure why the N-patch garners two such distinct reactions from modders and players alike - I can see the stupidity of VK changing all the tags, but...

	QUOTE (Tom @ Apr 14 2009, 11:58 AM) What is front page news worthy if things like this are not? I think its quite news worthy. It is highlight and promoting projects that we host in our divisions. lol and thanks Caspa. sigh. Defeated by the 'enter' key. Mods, please kill the empty quote post? I just wanted to say, this mod seems to be really fantastic, and I would love to play it, especially with the updates mentioned in the interview. I've been jonesing for some Red Alert for a while, but as mentioned, the UI is painfully old. I haveta say though, a new version of the mod that doesn't require NPatch seems like it'd be particularly cool Keep up the good work; this looks awesome.

	QUOTE (ambershee @ Apr 13 2009, 11:58 PM) Was this really front page worthy? Was what really front page worthy? The fact that several projects from Revora have received critical acclaim from a major gaming magazine? True it may not be as adrenalin inducing as one of Toms long winded, boring, conspiracy rants on the new world order, but it should receive some hefty praise. If I wasn't staff, I'd probably end up flaming you for such a cretinous question, but instead, I'm just going to say this really is front page worthy news.

	Why not? Great mods deserve advertisement, and while Revora might not have to strive to promote them, it shouldnt stand in their way.
