Progress update on porting HS2 plugins (Patreon)

Hello!

Just a quick update, porting of plugins is mostly progressing steadily. We are hitting some minor issues but so far it looks like most of AI plugins and mods will work fine in HS2 with some minor massaging. That being said, it still will most likely take a week or two until things are complete and stable enough for a HF Patch.

If you are interested in seeing the progress of porting mods you can go to the github repositories of the plugins and check commits (middle left button). Two repositories that are actively being worked on are BepisPlugins and IllusionFixes (we are working on these first because they are necessary for other plugins and mods to work, and for game stability and usability).

Please consider giving some support to other modders that are working on porting these plugins. They do a lot of good work and definitely deserve some more love. It would definitely help keep them motivated to keep going. You can go to their Patreon pages by following these links:

• https://www.patreon.com/DeathWeasel
  (Sideloader maintainer, did most of work porting BepisPlugins, currently is finishing up Sideloader, made a quick and dirty uncensor/demosaic)
• https://www.patreon.com/2155X
  (Helped port and test some plugins in BepisPlugins)
• Other modders that helped from sidelines (Keel and essu) don't have any way to directly support them, so make sure to throw some encouragement at them when you see them in chat channels on discord :)

In parallel other modders are working on HS2 as well. Unfortunately I can't list everyone, but to name a couple STN is updating the AIS Sideloader Modpacks and enimaroah is updating SB3Utility to work with HS2. Others are working on their own projects in the modding channels on the IS discord server. You can also see the new mod releases on the server in the #hs2-mod-sharing channel.
