Ready or not?

OK, I downloaded CORE 0.5, as I was advised that it would be effectively a 1.0, ready to go.

A quick read here says something else though. Also, it seems that (due to problems with the HOI moddir command) it overwrites some original files, this is fine if you only want to run CORE, but not otherwise.

So I ask: should I try to make room for another install of HOI? Is CORE now mature enough - or should I wait until 0.6 (or 0.5a, or whatever you'll call it)? - the bugfix of the current version.

If (as I expect!) the answer is 'heck yes! - Install!' than please can someone knowledgable tell me if I can run without sprites installed at all, and which files I can remove in such a case? I will be needing some disk space back...

Well, you've got two options:

- Make a separate install of HoI (just copy the entire directory structure somewhere) and apply C.O.R.E. to the second installation.

- Install C.O.R.E. on your base HoI installation and if you want to play vanilla HoI then you need to rename the following:

• \ai to something else
• \db\province.csv to something else
• \oldai to \ai
• \db\province.bak.csv to \db\province.csv

This will restore the basic HoI configuration. We will not be able to avoid this issue until Paradox fixes the mod-dir problems so waiting for the next C.O.R.E. version will not help with mod-dir issues

What you may want is to wait another couple of days until we release the first hotfix. The game is already stable but it does have a few issues like wrong unit names, wrong commanders assigned at game start and such (ie non-fatal but doesn't look nice )

Thanks for the reply and the explanation: I'll wait the couple of days then - my thanks to all involved in this effort which I am shamelessly going to ride on the back of!
