Thanks, and a little clarification, please.
First, thank you so much for your reply. :rofl:
Second, I have a game machine (my last vice), so performance is not an issue, but thanks for the advice.
I would like ot summarize where my testing has got me and ask a few finer points. My testing basically confirms your sage advice.
My first install was 1.06C plus your 1.06C "Fix Pack" that is available on one of the threads in this forum. I assume that this is the "fixpack" that you refer to in your reply above. Many thanks to you for continuing to carry the torch for 1.06c as most effort is being devoted to HOI2.
I immediately discovered that the pictures for the two default army ministers for Great Britain were missing and used 0411 (less events) as it was all that I had available. This gave me these two pictures and, I suppose, some others as well.
The next problem that I encountered was that some of the leader characteristics would not show up when the mouse was held over them. Can you please confirm that Robert Koop's fix will address this issue.
I intend to use all of your links on your "Fix It Yourself" thread shortly.
Regarding picture packs, I need to explain that I was in search of improved picture packs as a result of the FAQ that accompanied CORE 0.9. In it, the question is asked whether 0411 is needed and the answer said no, but it added that "it has been supereseded by numerous updates, giving no particulars.
In the absence of any replies before you responded, I had resolved to try the following -(Please be patient with my fanatical dedication to optimizing HOI)
Compare the relative file sizes of the minister and leader db's as well as the pictures in HOI as I now have it versus the CORE files.
In the event that the CORE files were significantly larger than the HOI files, I was going to overwrite the HOI files with the CORE files, assuming that "More is Better". This would preclude the need to find the "numerous updates" because CORE 0.9 would presumably contain them.
I think that you reply above indicates that this would actually be a step backwards to the extent that I would lose the benefit of your "Fixpack"
improvements to the db files. :wacko: So my question is this "What is your opinion of the picture file in CORE and is it compatible with the DB files that I have in HOI now?"
Many thanks in advance.

I now see that Robert Koop's Patch is not related to traits. Thanks.
