new patches and bug mod

[dorkynorky]

Okay, I'm behind the times, but I just noted there were new official and unofficial patches for BTS. Is the BUG mod compatible with these?

I know that it is compatible with the official patch, and I'd assume so for the unofficial one as well.

Thanks for the info!

Ginger Ale is correct on both accounts. You can check this thread for updates on 3.17. The release of BUG 3.0 is around the corner which fixes some nits with respect to the "No Espionage" option. You can always grab the latest from SVN (we keep it stable), but that's not required.

BUG's sister mod BAT is not 3.17 compatible yet.

That reminds me... you know my patching policy, and probably won't go to 3.17 for at least another month or two... I'm going to need someone to make the patch files to 3.17. I know NikNaks offered, but to be honest I'd rather have him keep on the graphics then the code... I don't see us getting a 3.17 patch for BAT for quite a while. I don't see any reason why it would not work on 3.17, but you will have some units and buildings with 3.13 values.

I like doing graphics, but the patching won't take that long. I might be able to do it today, even.

That would be awesome. BTW - I was thinking about the buttons for unit icons, and download what I could find online, but there are many many units for VD that are missing buttons. You feel like tacklilng something this massive?

 

[NikNaks]

Boy, that'd take some doing. There are many buttons available made by a guy called FK2006, so I'll see if I can cross any off before I start.

 

[alerum68]

Yes, it is where I got the idea, but many of the buttons are missing.
