I read the ump topic below and thought I may aswell announce this here.
I have cout 60% of this so here it is - the Unofficial patch v2.000.
Fixes most things in Yuri's revenge such as UMP bugfixes etc and adds few more things like Yuri's own sidebar etc.
Needs NPatch.
I would say it will be done by Xmas.
I will also released a MDK.

Well, isn't that great. You haven't done anything to contribute as such to either project and are basically just releasing something that is just bundled together. You'll excuse me if I don't whole heartedly support you. And it will take you until Xmas to complete it?

What Blade says is correct, have you even asked the owners of either of the projects if you can publicly release it? If not, then you can forget about releasing it

AFAIK, you're allowed to use UMP 1.002 in a mod, as well as NPatch, so why would he need any more premsion than the average mod-maker? He can't use the UMP name of course, but Unififcal Patch isn't taken yet is it?

[Blade]

Yes, but the point isn't that technically he would be allowed to do it, the point is that he wouldn't actually be doing all that much work himself.

Point is, such a mix of NPatch and UMp would take mere hours to compile, not months...

[Blade]

And how exactly are you going to add 64bit support (it already runs under wow32 with npatch AFAIK anyhow which is pretty much what you are saying you will add)? As for altering graphics and load screens, you've got the makings of a mod there with that kind of thinking but you need to generate some actual content of your own. Now if you want to create an installer that happily install both the npatch and UMP 1.002 at the same time, I'm sure that the community might like that, but calling it Unofficial Patch 2.000 is a bit disingenuous as far as I am concerned.

your need my permit at first....

[VK]

And in case you can't understand, that means you DON'T have VK's permission for this.

no. I want underline, that Blade isn't a creator of NPatch and he can't manage it.

if davewozere05 want to make such project he should contact with me and we will discuss it.

I never claimed I was

Well, I don't understand your right.

No problem, I know that english isn't your first language so misunderstanding will happen from time to time.
