it's not a problem to build a mod around a mostly russian exe (i translated a few parts) except for a few text messages that need to be altered, which is harder to do.
But it may be an issue for potential players, and it takes getting used to. This kind of patience isn't really far spread with the spoiled kid player type of today
Some of ja2005's INI's are rather large to scroll around, they may have hundreds of entries etc. so for certain purposes, the INI editor would be more helpful. Shorter INI files can be easily handled manually though
By strategic layer i indeed mean the location of roads, sector definitions, movement costs, garrisons, patrols... we've had a lenghty discussion yesterday as to how to approach this. I'll update the reminders once we found a solution, as this would be extremely important IMO
RR2005 has of course a huge bulk of speech and npc speech making its install bloated. But of course, the speech can be made an optional download, also, download speed and memory size is always increasing, so it may be less of an issue. I mean, i have a full copy of it on my 16 Giga memory stick. If your mod doesn't exaggerate the amount of new speech and sounds, it wouldn't be an issue, only with huge projects like RR
As RR used to have speech and sounds in a different fromat previously, some of its dialogue under ja2005 (and sound effects) remain silent so i'll have to track the files in question and convert them, which is going to be a chore.
Night ops is certainly interesting, but i must admit i don't know how much moddability it allows for its more spectacular features. Also DDD's mod has used some of ja2005's features, the russians are smart in this respect and are reusing their community's innovations again for new projects
We're close to the finishing line for a first complete set of FFF maps. I had to do some scavenging here and there, hope all the copyrightholders in question comply, then we may make FFF-MP public for a first screening.
it would be awesome to get your opinion on that. Though maybe i need to develop some more skills in dealing with criticism first
