Download:
- TBD
Why:
- Updating GTR2 to Modern GTR2 has become a complex process that is is daunting even for existing users
- There are now many, many steps to achieve a fully Modern GTR2 which itself assumes the user already has setup Vanilla GTR2 and Minimum GTR2
- The idea is to radically simplify what has become a very daunting and complex series of steps for users who just want to play a fully Modern GTR2
Goals:
- Single package applied over Disc or Steam GTR2 that brings it up to Modern GTR2 standards
- Package only contains the files and patches needed to patch GTR in order to avoid legal issues
- One-shot: Avoid asking the user to select options from menus.
Vision:
- Single ZIP file download
- Extract ZIP over vanilla Disc or Steam GTR2 which adds and replaces files
- Command-line script to clean up files that should be removed
