Default Re: A few quick \'Gold\' questions...

Suicide Junkie:

Hmm, maybe I was just doing something wrong, but those first few patches (say, till about 1.27 or so) required me to manually update a lot of files so as not to overwrite them. The components and facilities files seemed to change almost every patch and doing a file compare to update them was really tedius.

If there had been an easy way, I prolly never would have left SE4 in the first place. I think I was gone before all of the GUI file editors were out there cuz I never saw them...might have made the job a bit easier...

At any rate, maybe I was just doing things the hard way, but it was hours worth of work to get everything up and running again with each patch. After a while, I wasnt playing the game often enough to warrant that kind of investment.

I'm not even going to touch the data in Gold. As much as I am tempted to tinker, I'm going to leave well enough alone and play with the base set. At least then I wont have to do any updating.
