Multiple installations in only one directory

Post by DOT »

To use different mods placed together in only one directory, some files have to be renamed.
In trek.exe

- the savegames are named at hex:
0x1760DC, 0x17FF28
(one may see only the savegames created by responding trek.exe, if name of savegame is changed)

- for using different settings INI-File is named at hex:
0x17432C, 0x17AD2C, 0x17E984

- and STBOF.RES-File is named at hex:
0x173E38


For example:
- unchanged vanilla botf v 1.02 is unchanged
- larger map based on vanilla is named "trek-bigmap.exe", saved games are named "sbm_%d" and STBOF.RES is named "ST-BM.RES"
- larger map and some more changes based on vanilla is named "trek-mod2.exe", saved games are named "smm_%d" and STBOF.RES is named "ST-MM.RES"

More space for file naming is not possible without adjusting the offsets in trek.exe.
I didn't look for "sound" or other files changed with BoP and/or UDM...
life long and prosper
