Thank you - I agree with all that - it's just every time I get a half-day off, the process for me is to log in to the forums and go through all those steps but also check nothing has changed. At a minimum it is downloading the latest SCI, then seeing if there's a newer .exe I can drop in, then getting the latest version of the mod. Once all those files have been downloaded, getting a clean install of JA2 gold, copying the 1.13 SCI in, copying the new .exe in, copying the new mod over, and then searching the readmes to see what I need to be doing about Windows 10 compatibility, all before I can even start re-doing all my own settings.

This isn't a complaint - it's a great thing that there is always improvements available! - and my post was only intended on finding out if I could support a launcher if there was a modder with the skills but who would need to be able to support the time involved.

Re the comment asking for it to be defined in a clearer way - the precise arrangements would depend on where the modder lives and their preferences (I live in Australia, I could offer a contracting arrangement under Australian conditions, but that might be perfectly useless for someone overseas). I'd initially thought about posting the job on general IT contracting websites but was concerned I'd be flooded with people who have no idea about JA2, whereas if there was an established modder with the skills that would be perfect. It is serious but I only want to communicate with credible people on details.

Re the comment about IP and copyright - I agree it couldn't do anything involving copying the base JA2 install but as a vehicle only for downloading and copying mod files, only doing what is permissible manually.
