I don't see much difference between an unoffical patch and pirate lord tools and the vml section on autohost. I personally didn't plan to get to stage of asking Ron, etc. till we had something solid... hard to talk about vaporware.

The point is that AH didn't host VML games as far as I'm aware (although that was at least partly because there was no VML 'standard').

My idea wasn't to tell Ron we were going to do this, and this etc., but to get some idea under what conditions he'd consider running a patch, so we make sure we do our best to meet those conditions. Of course, Ron might not have thought about that yet.

I imagine minimal conditions would be:
(1) Changes are doable and tested (both for non-bugginess and balance),
(2) There is relatively wide agreement on the changes (here is where the compromises come in),
(3) That we get the versioning sorted out, so he can run 'jrc4' patch games and 'k' patch games with Stars reporting an error if the wrong files are run with the wrong version,
(4) That there is no likelihood of legal problems. It's up to Ron whether he'd settle for it being under the radar (which is where trying to get permission from Empire might be a problem if they say no), an informal assurance that it was not a problem, or something formally in writing. I think as long as we left the serial# stuff intact (we'd definitely need permission to disable that), things should be OK.

Once Freestars is going, we'll have to consider the same issues (except the legal ones, unless Empire are real ratbags and try to shut down Freestars), because we'll certainly want something that can be run on AH.
