Full Version: New version or patch?
I really need your input, particularly from those who has a slow internet. If the poll is in a favour of a new version then I'll release a new version in a single installation file. Otherwise there always will be v4.2b + patches (meanwhile 6.02 and 6.5 but later on may be others).
New version, too many patches gets confusing and leaves room for error.

Agree with Ronin, FULL Version.
Definately new version. Patches are good, but they can be bothersome as stated by ronin69hof.
Patch... 
Senka, it's much easier to send another CD to you. 
Patch.
Some of us are still stuck on the archaic myth called "dial-up".
My connection is about as fast as a couple of tin cans with a bit of yarn run between them.
Usually I get a huge mode downloaded, and with how long it takes me, the new version gets uploaded before I finish.

It depends on how many patches or better the ratio ...
If you put out a patch any 2 weeks, it would become difficult to follow/download, but a patch is fine as long as you just need to INSTALL one and you only have 1 available (so that people don't become crazy )
If you put an update once every 2 months let's say ... you could skip the patch process and just update the "core system",
just my 2 cents,

I had to vote patch, because I "just" finished a biffer for NeJv42. 
If you decide to go version, just keep me abridged of any MAJOR (as in, many files) changes, or ogg/tis additions.
Please, and thank you.

Okay. I came to conclusion based on the poll results to separate music and graphic from the basic installation file. Those who don't care to upload 400-500 MB will upload the whole package, but those who cannot (but have already uploaded v4.2b) will be able to upload a light package (minus music and graphic which is included in v4.2b), then after installation they will need to copy and paste all the missed music and graphic files from v4.2b manually into override directory. I'll detail this in ReadMe.

Now that is cool Vlad.
Respect you more then ever for meeting those of us stuck with dialup halfway.
Just a small question: when could we expect a new version package? 
In future.

God knows! This is Never Ending Journey, eventually.
For some reason, i can't seem to install the mod itself.
