Awesome I'll use it for the Next Mod on my List.

Any list of the changes? Don't want to have to migrate to a new version of the source if I don't have to...

I'd consider this to be a pretty big fix to be honest with you.

Anyone that's worked with these know this is a very good and important fix.

And the game runs much smoother wih the v1.7 code than it did under 1.6!

Oh. That's a plus.

But if I'm not doing any major coding, doesn't seem that groundbreaking to me.

Hi Jack!

Damn straight, I downloaded this and had a go at good old E1L1 and 10... Wonderful re-adventure. I'm getting the feeling I'm going to go back to basics for real (plain maps and nothing more) once I can get Overkill out of the world...

Will have to check this out, then. I will give my report in a while.

Nice.

I just ported what I could to ECWolf. I wonder if this means my aspect ratio correction patch will get added soon.
