Current Patch Order Etc

Is this is meant to be a patch for new players before installing a mod?

If it is, I should point out that Discovery has a very strict anticheat and installing it over anything other than an unpatched vanilla install will almost certainly be flagged as cheating if the files differ even slightly. That being said, we have been incorporating fixes from patches like JFLP and others like vertical strafing. Texture packs are really the only mods that work on Discovery and even then we get people setting off the anticheat.

I presume the above probably applies to other mods like Crossfire and Freeworlds.

This is meant to be a one-stop patch to play vanilla. Mods will have their own instructions, so it’d be irrelevant to them.

Or does JFLP cover all of Quickfix and then it’s own additions?

JFLP covers all of Quickfix, and unpacks all inis.

I also note that in the JFLP readme, it includes a part about not being compatible with those without it, and instructions to un-do that change

The robot traders were using people animations, causing lots of spew warnings, so I changed them. However, the server sends the character to the client, so JFLP servers would send robot characters to non-JFLP clients with people characters, and crash the client. So a server should go back to the people animations or tells its clients to use JFLP, too.

No, I was waiting for the result of additional testing before commenting (offhand I can’t see why HudShift would crash, since the only code it changes is to hook the resolution change and it is actually JFLP that does all the widescreen stuff).

Adoxa,

As you’re aware, we use the JFLP on our server and in our mod but we advertise as being 100% vanilla compatible in that you do not need the mod or the JFLP in order to play on FLU.

We’ve been this way for years. I’ve not heard any significant number of complaints from vanilla players that they’re crashing. If this is an issue it’s news to me.

here is a good patch also works well with jflip dll. some dlls files you will have to leave out i was having conflicts with them http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-underverse/downloads/vanilla-total-conversion-mod-starter-pack-31 RIP Down under put this together
