lordxorn -> New ROTS Patch n Mod Support xtra? (4/6/2011 7:21:58 AM)

I did a quick scan of the patch notes I could find, and did not see any specifics about expanded modding support?

Anyone else have details?

Haven't looked yet, lordxorn, but I'd imagine there would be a beta patch first with any new mod support.

I'll take  a look later after work.

I've checked it (look for the readme doc in the game folder, it has all the changelogs) and indeed a no no here.

Agreed. 1.5.0.8.beta and final 1.5.0.8 are exactly the same file size.

That in itself is circumstantial evidence [:)] but it is an interesting observation about size [:-]




Igard -> RE: New ROTS Patch n Mod Support xtra? (4/7/2011 2:00:49 PM)

I was only talking about the text description that SeanD posted, but perhaps it could apply to the patch file as well.[:D]
