Unoffical SE IV Patch Version 1.91.1

I see no reason to make such patch. To fix the issue which is not the serious bug? What for?
This patch will make no difference for 99.99% of se4 gamers, but will cause another headache for pbw players.

I'd consider interesting a _real_ 3rd party binary patch, which make some positive changes and fix some hardcoded annoyances. Unfortunately it should involve se4 decompilation which is 1) mostly illegal (not that I care too much about it); 2) risky, cause it can bring too much new bugs.

[although dll injection to se4 process looks promising]

For the fun of it and to help new players.

I had not considered that changing the Description would alter the PBW games. You might be correct on this. In that case I would strongly suggest not making any changes unless they are done acrossed the board including at PBW and the likelyhood of that happening is remote at best. So good point.

How best to word the component description would be the first step toward resolving the issue.

You forgot to fix the self-destruct device, and the scrap units function. Seriously, you're slipping here.

Don't forget to label weapons with their built-in accuracy bonus.

Oh please don't say that. It works for me, I cut and pasted from the link bar when I surfed the thread on this bulletin board.

I just finished updating all (except for one I can't find) the links to this forum over at the Encyclopedia Malfadorica. {example}

So please don't tell me the links only work for me.

I notice that my forum preferences are embedded in the links, and I don't know if they carry over, or if your prefs supercede, of if they overwrite your prefs for a session, or permanantly, or whatever. I'll worry about that later.

But please don't say they link to nowhere.

Arkon for some reason your link drove me to quick reply page

Let me guess, you all use Firefox or something else then Internet Exploder. The link Arkcon gave works fine. It links to the thread about that bbq guy complaining about the lack of descriptions.

I'm using Firefox and the link works fine for me. I think Fyron's just crazy

As if I would ever use Microslime's Internet Exploder for any purpose.

Aiken, would you embed a link to a page on this board in a message of yours? I'd like to see what happens.
