General ModPak question

[taterbill]

Hi all,

I've gotten back into playing SE4 big time since discovering PBW... It really revived my interest in this great game!

Anyway, my question: All of the PBW games I am playing are "Stock 1.49". What Mod Packs are safe to install and still be considered "Stock 1.49"?

Thanks,

Bill

Anything that changes just the AI or graphics. The AI will be run on the server, so no effect, and the graphics make no difference either way.

Note that if you change anything, like say weapon damage, you'll SEE the change, but it won't actually do anything (except in the simulator), because the server files rule all.

So, to be explicit, does that mean I could try out the TDM-ModPack and still be considered stock 1.49?

Thanks,

Bill

Yup.

Small caveat: The TDM-ModPack adds a number of custom formations. If you or any of the AIs try to use a custom formation, the stock 1.49 server will use the default Arrowhead formation instead.
