Does anybody know if the mod switch still works? Does it interfere with steam?

I will find out today.....

Apparently we'll be creating our own PACK file and setting the fifth byte to 3, telling the system it's a mod Pack (and to load it last).

I cannot image CA expecting modders to set the byte themselves .. so we must be getting some nice front ends to all that nasty work!

Problem is, if pack doesn't load because of an error, it won't tell you what the error is .. WTF!!

So that's your answer!
By the way there's still some work before people start making mod files in the way they should be.
