Am I allowed to add my inofficial RP Page in a link list at the end? I'm not sure... (gordon-creAtive)

RP, RP2, ETS, ... - which of them should be supported?

I can see RockPatch2 flags getting their own pages using the Flag template, like normal game flags, that makes sense. But what about RockPatch1 and ETS? VK basically severed all ties with this place and demanded that we don't use anything of his. Both pd and VK (IIRC) have decided to stop supporting RP entirely, and it's going to be superseded by RP2 eventually, so what is the benefit of documenting its flags when it's deprecated at best?

Also, let's not forget that there are now five different patching projects:

  • RockPatch2 (YR)
  • NPatch (YR)
  • RockPatch (YR, deprecated)
  • ETS (FS)
  • HyperPatch (FS)

So if we do intend to document RP and RP2 separately, let's plan ahead for HP as well, and make sure everything, like the Flag template, are extendable as necessary, and define the guidelines for documenting their changes.

Not ETS, not NPatch.
Not RockPatch, because nobody can say which version is the true last version of it. (pd's? VK's? The last working one?)
RP2, once there's a first general public release.
HyperPatch, once there is a first general public release and there are signs of adoption among the users.
