Interesting experience on my end, my secondary system decided to eat its registry -- as Windoze does occassionally -- so I had the wonderful fun of reinstalling everything -- except I forgot to reinstall MOHAA, figuring I could just run it, without registry support. And it does EXCEPT when I got SH and it insisted I didn't have MOHAA installed. Being the typical slob that I am, I of course couldn't find my MOH disks, so I just copied an installation from my other machine (my guess legally questionable -- but I'm the only one brain damaged enough to play MOH and I can't use them in both places at once -- drat those pesky laws of physics! ) and got it up and running.
Now when I got the SH patch installed on my primary machine, I copied the mainta directory over -- but I forgot to update the updated SH files in MOHAA directory. Now, when I connected to servers I couldn't get into patched SH servers, as I kept getting MD5 checksum errors, but I could unpatched and (I think MOHAA), and I have to tell you things sure looked strange, anims slid all over the place, and when people crouched, they disappeared into the floor. I quickly realized my error, updated all the files then jumped back in and everything was fine, but truly a bizzarre experience.
