RE: Combining PBW, TDM and P&N (Hooray for acronyms )

How should I go about getting a TDM/P&N mix going on PBW?
It would be the same Version as is on PBW now, except with patched TDM AI's added in.

I am having a great deal of trouble with the Vaxin even under PBW tweaks on my local machine, and I wanted to share .

I could upload a Big Fat Zip with the whole shebang packaged up nicely for the PBW admins, but IIRC, there was a "don't redistribute modified Versions" clause in the TDM:
"This TDM-ModPack may be freely distributed as long as no files are modified, added or deleted."

Option #1b would be for me to Email the Zip directly to someone at PBW, possibly in little chunks in order to fit through the mail services.

Option #2 would be for the PBW admins to install both, and muck around with the AI Patcher, and then hope it all works.

====================================

So, if anyone has suggestions or express written permission, please reply.

Here's what you do. And steps 2 though 4 apply to any mod anyone would like to have setup as an option on PBW.

Step #1: Get permission from the TDM guys to use their work. (This shouldn't be a problem, but I can't give it to you.}

Step #2: Make your mod. (I want no part of mucking with the AI patcher. That's your job.)

Step #3: Put it somewhere I can get it. I'd prefer you didn't email it to me. Either post it here or in the PBW file library.

Step #4: Wait patiently while I get around to putting it on the server and set it up as an option. Depending on the demand for the mod, and my workload in my real job this should take no more than a week or two.

Step #5: Contrary to popular belief, sending me cookies has absolutly no effect on the amount of time it takes me to get your mod setup on PBW. But I like peanut butter.

Step #2 is done, privately. In fact, it is what the TDM vs P&N story bit is based on.

So, I just have to wait for Tampa, Daynarr or Mephisto to wander by...

Thanks, Geo.

Suicide Junkie -

Where can I get your AI patcher that works with Gold? The only ones I saw said they were for the non-gold Versions

[Suicide Junkie]

So far, all of the functions still work under gold.
The trick is to start with a gold-compatible AI, and then patch it to one of the mods.
I'm going to look into adding a Classic->Gold option.
