Default Re: The Patch!

Talenn -
I won't be back at work (where my unix machine is that I was going to use to batch-diff the data files) until Monday, and that's probably a long time to wait for the info. But Baron Munchausen's post below points out how to do it yourself easily with the DOS fc command (which I had completely forgotten about). fc does essentially the same thing as the unix diff prog I was going to use, and is available to everyone and is actually a bit more readable.

Just compare the original 1.02 data files with the new 1.11 files to find out what the patch changes were. You can then also compare your modified data files with the 1.02 originals to make a list of all your changes.

Then you go through all those changes and compare them and merge the new patch stuff into your modified file (or merge your modifications into the new file if that would be easier). You're kinda stuck doing this Last part by hand, since there really isn't a way to fully automate the merge of your changes with the patch ones if there are conflicts.
