There'll be notes with the final release as well as template TBMs for you to paste your stuff into.

I don't know if it's ever been mentioned in this thread/forum before, but I've seen a few references in the SCP forum to an eventual elimination of the need for INF-specific builds as part of the upgrade process.  I believe that this is something that's planned for after 3.6.9.  Is this something you've taken into account for future modpack planning, or will it just resolve itself through the code changes?

I've been told little about it but they are trying to merge INF Builds into the main exe so you don't need seperate builds. Don't know what they plan to do to achieve this though.

It'll probably break the mod though :D

I doubt this will happen for quite some time.

Depends on how fast Woomeister is able to work.....

*imagines Woo as a blur between four different computers, attempting to complete R2 all by his lonesome within a reasonable timespan*

Um... did you check properly? It's underneath the species model packs.

No it's not.  You know nothing about it.

The only thing the Inferno build does is bump certain limits.  We can't do that in the main SCP branch because it will break multiplayer.  Eventually the SCP will be able to use higher limits while remaining multiplayer-compatible.

Isn't there also a pilot file incompatability between Inferno builds and current non-Inferno builds?

I think so. My pilot files went missing when I changed exe's...

 :doubt:

Well that's your fault. As far as I know there's nothing released currently that requires an Inferno build, so you shouldn't be using them on a FS2 install.

INF SCP is standalone and so won't interfere with your FS2 retail pilot files.

Goober:
INF builds bump limits to the z buffer and texture amounts per sub object that aren't ib standard builds as the coders wouldn't allow them to be. Will these still be a problem? I know some people use the increased texture amounts though I don't think we do ourselves now.
