SC4 Swap Instalations

[kschmidt 6,163]

At home I have a LHD and RHD installation on two separate computers. Mayon Province for performance issue I exchanged oneway from the LHD to the RHD computer without any issue, not altering anything. Moving a installation from one two the other computer isn't without problems. Today I swapped two LHD installations to my RHD machine and vice versa two RHD to my LHD computer. Exchanging first the driving side problem need to be addressed. NAM removed and replaced with a LHD or if on a RHD machine the appropriate version. Second the startup Userdir be defined in a shortcut so the basic installation is overruled. Third I discovered that on the LHD all rendered regions where messed up so I have to render; this only applied to non maxis rendered and SC4M regions !

Adjusting these won't be a issue as these region where not yet seriously touched. Strange some are more deformed than others showing only water or landmass on places where there's nothing. Future there will be no further swapping around like this only appropriate driving side to be determined. As far as driving side I am not very much concerned as it goes to fantasy regions. Anno Europe I distinctly setup on RHD as it's Europe after all. Australia and Asia is a mixed bag most driving left except china, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam. Europe did have Sweden as a left drive nation till the end of last century. North America seemed as well split but chose right driving as standard. There maybe still some hidden LHD or RHD problems hidden into the plugins folder but these most be addressed for some exception, but except NAM and some other mods I won't expect anything serious..

Hope someone else has swapped its installations and hear what there issue's where with this matter !

Sincerely yours,
