Proportions Version 2.4 released

[PvK]

Proportions mod Version 2.4 is now available from The Proportions web page.

This is a small but worthwhile correction to a few issues, listed below.

ALSO, I discovered a problem with the PATCH Version of 2.3 - it didn't include all of the files needed to upgrade to 2.3, at least for the AI. If you downloaded the PATCH Version of 2.3, you should definitely download and install the "Patch to Version 2.4 from any earlier Version" file (or the complete Version).

Version 2.4:

* Removed defensive modifier from Efficient Engines to allow upgrades
and "show latest only" to work well without stacking modifiers with
high-output engines.
* Cue Cappa and Abbidon AI reworked by John Sullivan.
* Cue Cappa AI was not building space ports even when they had not
acquired Natural Merchants - fixed.
* Corrected position mistakes in formations Cluster Diamonds and Little
Triangles.

Edit: P.S. - I also separated Oleg's three extra AI's for Proportions into a separate file, rather than including one "Complete plus extra AI's" Version (as I did for 2.3). These AI's have not changed for 2.4, so you can just download the 0.2MB 2.3->2.4 patch if you got the big 2.3 Version.

I don't suppose there's a Version of Proportions (even an OLD one) that is compatible with v1.49, is there ... ?

[Puke]

it would not be hard to hack, just change the settings.txt to be 1.49 compatable, and remove all references to drones. and go back to the original system types files.

My gosh... even a fanatic can't have played a game on 2.3 before this update. This update rate is far faster than even the betas coming out of Malfador. Is it stable now? Can we play some games?

Not true. I already played and finished a game in 2.3 .
