Hi Cheeseh,

Feel free to add these dods rcw's to your next full release. They are the same as the posted rcw's but are in the new waypoint format and include screen credit. I saw credit to me in the rcbot2 readme txt, so I thought you might want to include these rcws, thanks ... You don't need to include my readme or txt files, they are just included for this pack.

I included 2 copies of dod_flasher_rc1, one is in the new format and will show "Waypoints by MadMax2 (conversion from flash)" on screen. I think this would be ok, but it was a modified flash rcw originally made by testeryyy, then modified by genmac and myself, then converted by me, so it has been heavily modified. I wasn't sure how to get all the credits to fit properly, so this seemed short and to the point. If you prefer, you could use the dod_flasher_rc1NC rcw (no credits), it's the same as the posted rcw, in the old version3 format... Either way it's a good waypoint, so I thought it should be included...

I could do the same thing with the rcw's Emotional & myself posted, and make another waypoints pack with proper credits, for you to include. I'll leave the posted version3 waypoints as they are, in case users need them for an older rcbot2 version.

Also, I think I found a bug in the dod_donner rcws that needs fixing, I believe it's in both the included rcw and in genmac's posted rcw. I haven't seen genmac here for a while (MIA), hope he is just taking a break and playing lots of counterstrike:s or something, and will be back. I'll recheck both rcw's and I can patch them and send them to you in the next couple days. I'll fix it in .76, so no screen credits, and it will be more compatible. Will your next release be just dll's, or a full release?

Later,
max
