'One of my Volition besties, Mike Watson, passed this morning after battling cancer for well over a year. Writing in a post on ResetEra, Volition lead game designer Ryan McCabe paid tribute to Watson: He eventually became Volition community manager and the lead on a project to restore Saints Row 2 using the game's once thought lost source code. Watson was behind the mod that tackled issues with the PC port of Saints Row 2, dubbed the Gentlemen of the Row mod, as well as mods for Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row 4.

In May, Watson's illness caused him to step down from his position as Volition community manager, although he continued to work on the Saints Row 2 patch project. Watson, who led the Saints Row 2 patch project at Volition, died yesterday after a long battle with cancer. These will greatly help the longevity of your awesome game.Celebrated Saints Row modder Mike 'IdolNinja' Watson has died.

With the default *.cts files of GotR 1.9.2, there are only 30 free slots of Navpoints remaining. * Raise or completely eliminate the upper limit of Navpoints, Triggers, etc, in cts files. This will enable us to save and load custom settings. * Enable string, io, and file modules in Lua. * Ability to load modded files directly from the disk, as in SRTT and SRIV. I hope this request isn't too late because I heard that the update doesn't have an ETA yet.
