RE: Question about Volcano Man's Alt pack
VM's work changes the unit artwork, and adds variants of scenarios. Stock versions are not affected. If he's changing unit values, he creates a separate OOB file, and his scenarios use those.
For example, in Stalingrad, there is a stock OOB:
Stalingrad '42 Dec.oob
but VM's scenarios use his:
Stalingrad '42 Dec_Alt_McNamara.oob
(now, there might be a number of oob files for any game.)
He never overwrites core game data files, but does overwrite the artwork. What I used to do, before I knew what I was doing, was to zip up the entire game install directory, then I could restore if I messed up or didn't like what happened.
