Do we handle the transfer of Mods in the same fashion as in SC2?

[Hubert Cater]

Nope, no need to transfer MODS at all with this patch as everything is fully compatible with v1.00.

In fact I have a new behind the scenes process that for 90% of future patches the conversion will be automatically done behind the scenes when you re-open the campaign with an updated Editor. There may be a few exceptions but during final Beta we went through a few of these processes and it all went smoothly.

Thank you for this considerate addition....
