Title: AoA/WiH mods merged together
Post by: Klaustrophobia on August 10, 2010, 03:06:21 am
Condense AoA and WiH to one mod?

So I noticed by accident that you can play AoA just fine with WiH selected as the mod.  I noticed this because I forgot to select WiH in the campaign room when I started, and my pilot was cloned from my AoA one (that had the AoA campaign selected) so I didn't have to re-map all my controls.  This would suggest to me that the two could be merged into one mod folder for tidying purposes.  Obviously not major, but things like that just make me happy.  I imagine however that this would require at the least modifying the mod.ini, but I really have no idea what else.  Could someone help me with this?  Maybe even a unified Blue Planet release could be made for ppl who don't have either or don't want to bother with patching old ones.

Nope, both mods will remain separate. You can however play AoA and even retail FS2 campaign without any issues when you have WiH selected as mod. Certainly there have been some tweaks to retail ships and weapons, but nothing that should break retail missions.

Merging the mod dirs won't be officially supported, doing so is at your own risk. However, it's piss easy to do. Just rename vp-files so that bp2 vp-files are alphabetically before bp1 vp-files. Doing that has no benefits for you though and I don't recommend doing it. Especially when you're in need of troubleshooting help, your own customizations will play against you.

Parts 1 and 2 and everything else falling under BP2 name will be one mod. BP3 will then be another mod.

Did I just read that correctly?

BP1 = Age of Aquarius.
BP2 = War in Heaven.  It's not fully released yet.  It will be one mod when the rest is released.
