The thing is that the current commercial releases of MotS, from GOG and Steam, have already been patched to remove CD checks. Naturally, they don't check for the MotS CD and, because they offer MotS as a standalone game, they don't check for the JK disc, either. Applying the unofficial patch actually re-introduces both checks, thus breaking the game for users who legally own it. GOG and Steam users can't even use the unofficial patch unless they crack it (or happen to have the original CDs, like you). Hopefully, the mods see it the same way.


I'm also toying with the alternate idea of maybe bundling other fixes (dgVoodoo, the fixed winmm.dll, indirectSound and the ATI fix) in, as well, maybe with an installer, to make an "all-in-one fix" that'll save people a lot of steps. I'm not sure which is best. Would people prefer a single package that fixes all (or most) compatibility issues or do they prefer downloading everything separately, knowing exactly what they are and testing between each one? I don't know. Edit: Hmm. I just had a thought. I could bundle them, but keep them in separate folders, with their original documentation, allowing savvy users to decide to apply only what they want, but providing an installer that simplifies things for more casual users.


You probably want to upload your loading screens to the files forum:


https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/


It can take the better part of a day or overnight to get approved by a moderator, but it's the sensible location for files that are linked on the wiki.

Tip: Compose and preview your post in a PM to someone, since the upload form has no preview button and editing the post afterwards queues it up for moderation again. That was really frustrating me, so I sent a PM to Garrett and that tip came from him.
