Should I install patch .279 before or after installing HttR and BfG?
Are patches for HttR and BfG still needed or only BftB .279?
You should install .279 and then the HttR and BfG.
The basic .279 patch includes BftB map files recompiled with the .279 MapMaker function and overwritten on existing BftB maps directory. The recompiling allows for an improved interpretation of terrain attributes built into the .279 game software.
The HttR and BfG sets are map files recompiled under the MapMaker .279 patch that will replace the Maps for those battle sets.
Overwriting existing map files with those reduces the delay in loading HttR and BfG games after the .279 patch is installed.
I don't believe the delay in the game software loading the old maps for HttR and BfG (or custom maps for that matter) replaces the old map files with the recompiled versions.
It's tedious, but you can accomplish the same actions as downloading and installing the HttR and BfG packs by using MapMaker to "recalculate terrain tables" and "build map cache" on appropriate map files.
If you play any custom scenarios with custom maps authored prior to the .279 patch, you have to use MapMaker to permanently recalculate terrain tables and build map caches for those to load quickly and operate appropriately with the .279 attributes.
