I think all methods here should be structured like info.plist with step-by-step instructions how to obtain the version numbers (except maybe the launcher which should be pretty straight forward).  In particular, skuversion.txt does not point out that the number of note comes after "GameVersion = " --[[User:FordGT90Concept|FordGT90Concept]] 18:51, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Version.tag

This files contains the version number of the last game to run. For example, it said (1.18 series patch for Fast Lane Stuff):

[Version]
Latest = 5.2.4.009001

Then I ran the fully patched Late Night expansion and it changed to:

[Version]
Latest = 6.2.4.010001

As far as patching is concerned, it is pretty useless and I think it would be best to omit it. At bare minimum, put it last. --FordGT90Concept 16:13, 3 February 2011 (UTC)


I disagree with the placement, as there's a method to my madness. I've put all OSX-specific related information at the end of pages for a reason, so as to be consistent with other pages. So that OSX users need not scroll all over the place and have to read through the clutter that is Windows-specific info.

The page is now grouped by
  • Windows only
  • Windows & Mac
  • Mac only
There's no specific order of merit to these things as players just need to choose one method, not try all of them by going down the list. And as a documenter, I do not decide what is useful or useless, I just provide all options available.

I couldn't decide if it should go before info.plist or after. Moving it is fine by me. I'm still thinking it should be omitted though because it is really only useful if they only have the base game installed. --FordGT90Concept 14:11, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
