I have feedback which should go for ALL your downloadable files:

always include all dependent files, assume the downloader has stock ut2k4 installed and nothing else...

I'm grateful for feedback, but we have to disagree on this one, Wolf. It's not unreasonable to require the latest patch.

If you were talking about the bonus pack, which was an addition, then I'd be more inclined to agree.

Admittedly, I had no idea that JumpShipObjects was not included in earlier versions of UT2004.

Agreed, so you are not disagreeing with me

If you were talking about the bonus pack, which was an addition, then I'd be more inclined to agree.

Basically any content that you can not expect a "pure" (and patched) game to have. Whether or not the bonus pack(s) would qualify as common enough to be expected to be on -ANY- game installation is at least debatable though I suppose it wouldn't be completely unreasonable to assume so.

As a hint from someone who spent over half a decade developing for Unreal: Generally people who mod and map have a reference list of files they compare against so they always know what to add to their deployment archives - or alternately have an installation purely for editing in which they put exclusively those files needed for the edit, another method of making sure to have the complete files. If you cannot be bothered with these 2 methods, a third one is having a "default" install from which you always have a backup to restore to, and on which you try your finished work, file by file - every time the game complains about something missing, you add that one after another...

Ah, but I assumed this file was included in the latest patch. Apparently it wasn't. I'm aware of missing package issues. Not all of the Bonus Pack content had BP in their name it seems.

Yeah, I know. I used to have the manifest.ini for some of the updates, to check which files were added, but I didn't expect anything like this in this case. I'll put it on my todo list. Thanks again!
