Are the changes made in this mod file direct copy overwrites, or are they done by patching?

Changes are made by overwritting.
I have difficulties to program my changes with weidu code. Spells : my spells come from different sources: - BG2 (because tutu use BG1 spells, and it's not corrected by anything) - BG2 Fixpack - BG2 mod : Atraits and Detactable spells - My own mod, including some fixing in previous spells So it's easier to overwrite them instead of patching. NPC & monsters : there are so many changes it would be a nightmare to make a patch!  Stores : patching is possible and will be done later when I have time Items : only minor changes in some items. patching is possible IDS : patching So, to resume: it's possible to patch stores, items, and ids. But for creatures and spells, it would be a tedious work. I have already a lot of work involved into the modding part. I won't make all these patching stuff (only for stores, items, and ids), but if someone is insteresting in doing it, contact me This post has been edited by aigleborgne: Dec 19 2005, 12:38 PM |
