Default Re: Question regarding patches/updates and mods...

Here's my geeky solution...

Do you have access to a unix/linux machine?

Unix has a standard tool called "diff" that intelligently compares two files and outputs the differences between them, line by line, showing insertions, changes, and deletions. With that, you could diff the old and new Versions of the data files, and easily make a list of changes to them.

I know one of the old MS C++ compilers came with a graphical Windows tool which did essentially the same thing, but I don't know if it still does or if there is any diff equivalent for the PC.

Well, for that matter, when the patch comes out, if Malfador does make data file changes and doesn't detail them, I can do the diff myself and post the changes here if people would like.
