TBP 3.4b backwards compatability
Also, please do forgive me for going on about this, but is build 3.4 retro-compatible with older builds like 2.X? I'm asking this to know if older campaigns will run on this build?

No. The older your campaign is the less likely it is to run with 3.4b. But since this is the last release that problem will not occur in the future.

In that case, it seems the campaigns will have to be "rebuild". Or else, we have to keep release 2 somewhere to make them work.

I would love too, but currently, I'm up to my ears with the renegade legion MOD. However, I'm glad to hear it's feasible.

So who do you suggest updates all the old campaigns?

Certainly not the BPT as they did more that enough. Either a dedicated team or better still, the creators of the campaigns themselves as nobody will know their campaign's mechanics better than them. Who did the tales of the janus, for instance?

Miburo. And he's far too busy these days to fix it.

Re: TBP 3.4b backwards compatability
In that case, before we can "fix" those campaigns, it would be important to keep a build 2 of the babylon project to run them. Much like some old freespace campaigns can only run under retail. Can we still get the old build somewhere?
