Actually, if you have a solution or actual code (even better!) for a change, I'm always willing to look at it. I don't think anyone can be said to have a complete understanding of all the code. I have a good understanding of many parts, thanks to Seb and Xusalik's notes. Some people, like Kyrub, have a better understanding of areas depending on what area interests them.

Nice mod is comming
Hello Tarvis, it looks pretty cool! Maybe you can join your force together with Tycho and implement both yours improvement to the only extender..
I will enjoy your work and will try to help with testing :)
Also the playing Intro in MP3 would be great. I am now using Abram´s modded executable with mp3play.dll and my own moddified MP3 Intro music by Lorcan that was made for UFO:CF now probably dead project and it works great!
- I couldn't really say that I'm 'joining forces' with Tycho, it's more that I'm fixing little things on my own and he decides to add them if he wants. I can't really do much more than this because I don't have a deep understanding of the game code like Tycho does, all I'm doing is making tiny improvements to the actual Extender code. Because of that, I'm not even sure I understand the music code well enough for detecting intro music, so your best bet for that is probably just using AbraM's patch like you're doing. As far as I know, the only issue that comes from that is that the game will throw an error at you when you exit the game.
- Essentially, I just take small issues I've noticed (like the window size option not taking into account window border thickness) and fix them myself instead of asking Tycho to do it, since he probably has more significant things to do. -Tarvis
