When patching....

As most people know, the community uses a lot of different mods. From full UI mods, to kill marks, to sound.

Personally, I use full UI, along with kills marks, radio message mod, and kill sound mod..

Anyways, I'm a little tired of every time a major patch comes along with a UI change, I have to reinstall my main mod, the UI.

I'm thinking, when we patch, the patcher comes up with a message depending on any REZ changes. Say, for instance, it's adding a new character (Radio messages changed), a new UI (Login, lobby screen, etc), and changing up the kill marks for some reason. Having it pop up a message like, "Do you have mods currently installed?"

When you check, "yes" is shows up asking which ones. For this patch, you'd click select. "Full UI", "Radio messages", and "Kill Marks".

The patcher would then leave out those parts of the patch, thus negating the need to re-install the mods. Meaning right after you're done patching, you can jump into game instead of having to go fix the broken mods.


Side note: I'm not sure if a patch changes the sounds for when you get a kill, but in-case it does, also have a selection for that.

I know if this does come, it won't be for an awfully long time.. But it'd make the whole community that uses some kind of mod, a little happier with the DEVS, the staff, and at the game in general.
