Welcome to the Yuri's Revenge Unofficial 1.002 Mini-Patch Developer's Pack!
Please read this whole page before continuing.
So you're making a mod for Yuri's Revenge?
Then you'll want to be 1.002 enhanced!
As you are no doubt already aware, the 1.002 Mini-Patch fixes many Yuri's
Revenge bugs as well as providing support for the YR Terrain Expansion and YR
Playlist Manager.
If your mod were 1.002 enhanced, then your mod would have the bug fixes, Terrain
Expansion & Playlist Manager support too.
This suite of pages will tell you all you need to know to make your mod 1.002
enhanced but you must have at least a basic understanding of Yuri's Revenge
modding in order to fully understand what you need to do. This Developer's Pack
will not teach you how to mod. With that in mind, let's begin...
First of all, we need to make sure you are running the correct version of
everything. If you haven't updated Yuri's Revenge to version 1.001 then do so
now before reading on.
When you started your mod did you base your mod's
rulesmd.ini
and
soundmd.ini
files on
the 1.001 files or the 1.000 files?
If you extracted your INI files from
ra2md.mix/localmd.mix
then
you are using the 1.000 files. You will need to read both the
"Updating to 1.001" and "Updating to
1.002" sections.
If you downloaded your INI files from a website then you may or may not
be using the 1.000 files. You will need to
read the "Updating to 1.001" section to make
sure you have updated your mod to 1.001, and then you will need to read the "Updating to
1.002" section.
If you extracted your INI files from expandmd01.mix then you
are using the 1.001 files. You only need to read the "Updating to
1.002" section.
If you are just starting a mod, then you can jump straight to using the 1.002
files, which have already been prepared for you, and can be found in the
Developer's Pack ini
folder.
Once you are using the correct files you can move on to the section entitled
"Extra Fixes".
Please note:
When updating to 1.002, please do not disregard any of the core fixes if you
simply don't understand why a change is being made. I assure you that all
changes have been carefully thought out and all have a purpose. The only
circumstance where you shouldn't follow the core changes to the letter, is where
they are not applicable to your mod because of other changes you have made.
For example, you don't need to set [GGI] Soylent=200, if your mod decreases the
cost of the [GGI] to 300.
If you don't understand why a change is being made, please ask at the UMP forum
rather than just ignoring it.
The core fixes do not include any changes due to balance reasons - only genuine
bugs are addressed in this project.
