Are the mentioned map packs optional or does it install everything there is?

I considered making them optional, but decided to include them in the main installation and here is why: CMP is de facto part of the FH2 now, because you can't play online without it and Coop mappack adds a feature original release is missing. And actually, one of the reasons that inspired me to create this installer was the endless stream of questions in our Russian FH2 community literally like "Where can I find the Red Army?" (obviously, players were looking for EF maps in singleplayer, but there were none).

Yes, but in a very truncated form: bare minimum required to play FH2. I deleted all unnecessary files, including levels folder, to minimize the size of the installer. Sorry, I should probably stated it more clearly in the description, will do it now.

Sure you can on non-CMP server, I haven't installed CMP and won't install it.

Exactly this. And I found you saying that CMP is part of the FH2 now a bit offensive to be honest. It's not. It should be clearly stated. I don't mind additional bot support for 4 EF maps being included in this as it only a small addon to the official maps, but CMP should be optional.

 Take it easy there Jan, im sure he meant its "included along with" FH2.

Doesn't matter as long as installer doesn't ask you if you want it and install it all together with FH2 stock content. And don't get me wrong, it's a great initiative and I love this makes FH2 "standalone". All I ask is an option to tick a box if you want installer add community made content to the mod.

Gotta agree with Jan.  Great effort, just needs tweaks like that.  FH2's CMP stuff is not an official part of the mod and should remain optional.

 ::) Installer is not official either. You can always delete the maps.

Also, afaik, every CMP map is clearly labeled as such on the maps loading screen.
