Installation of IGC

[unmerged(1107)]

One suggestion for the installation of IGC:

It would be nice not to produce enormous amounts of '1492x.inc' files with each new patch (it started with 1492e.inc and is now up to 1492l.inc). if you keep continously updating your campaign, you should manually remove the previous '.inc' files. I suggest at least stating this in the redme.

The labeling of the incfiles is necessary for us to not become confused (danger of adding something to already outdated files etc.). Keeping the same name all over would maybe also confuse the player ('Do I have the newest file or not?'. But o.k., I will add a note to the readme for the next version.

It's okay to keep separate files for each new release of the IGC. This will distinguish the versions. But as there is only ONE compaign scenario (okay, really two IGC I and II), you fill your harddisc with lots of unused files which simply waste space.

A hint in the readme is sufficient to solve this (just state which files can be removed).

Not that much space though.

In the meantime I added a note regarding this issue to the sticky FAQ in this section. In the next version of the IGC I will include this FAQ as well.

Does installing the IGC effect the game at all? Can you still play the regular campaigns? It seems to be more than just a scenario.

It IS more than just a scenario. All other scenarios will be affected and not always for the good. So if You don´t want to play the IGC anymore, You´ll have to reinstall the game (or if You have made backups of the substituted files, then reinstall just them). If you have the harddiskspace, it´s a good idea to install a second copy of EU into another folder just for the IGC.
