I'd like to ask something similar.
Basically, resolving dependencies on this site is the same nightmare I remember from a couple of years back - one of the main reasons I haven't played SC4 for so long now. I'm tempted to pick up these DVDs just to avoid spending a weekend arranging a working plugins folder.
Couple of questions:
Is there a list of bats included, or at least a 'highlights' list - there are a few mods and bats that I take as essential (such as NAM) and would like the check that they're on the DVDs
How up-to-date are they? Are the DVDs burned from the same ISO each time, or are they updated to include up-to-date copies of the files. Or is there an in-built way of checking for updates from STEX?
Finally, what's happened to the first cd? Have the items on that been added to 2&3? Is it possible to get that in a 3cd bundle? Or is it too old now?
In which case; are there any 'essentials' on CD1 that aren't on CD2or3 that I should look to download in addition?
