If you want to see everything that I've uploaded so far, you can check them out at the following page:

Especially, if you find my Warcraft Mouse Helper useful, I have a very similar one for Dune II, as well.

Ha, I've been on the very same kick too! Thank you for the link, I like your taste of games
Dune2, Jedi Knights, Strike Commander and Warcraft patches are amazing. Took em all. Your D2/WC patches in particular effectively make the vanilla mechanic obsolete, all while keeping-in with original spirit of the games. Remarkable

Thanks. If you didn't know, there are two good fan recreations of Dune II: one called Dune Dynasty and one called Dune Legacy. They're Windows programs that allow high resolutions, add features like right-clicking and selecting multiple units at once (something that I can't simply add via utility), fix bugs and make gameplay tweaks. They're pretty nice and sort of make my mouse helper obsolete, but I put it together, anyways, in case there are others like me who prefer playing the original DOS version of the game. I can tolerate and appreciate a few modern improvements to games, especially to things like control schemes, but I don't like to deviate too much from how the game looked and felt way back when or else it doesn't feel quite so nostalgic anymore.

In same boat as you, my red line are changes to AI. An unfortunate but necessary compromise in absence of original source code. Thanks for the plugs I'll defo take a look at both. When I did my D1+2 package I got neck deep side tracked by Super Dune II and its set of patches that all I wanted was to wrap it up ASAP. My glass would spill over had I discovered them right there and then

Your mouse helpers are a Godsend for us purist who only want minimalistic quality of life improvements. No substitute, defo not obsolete
