can gowrons trade/industry patch be added to the new bop multi?and if so how?

[thunderchero]

can gowrons trade/industry patch be added to the new bop multi?and if so how?

yes it can be edited, but gowron has removed this file from his shared files. and I do not have it.

for english install:

open trek.exe (patch exe) with any hex editor.
search for "BOTF" change BOTF to BOPE and save. there are 2 places this must be done (0x174357 & 0x17b09f)
replace trek.exe in install path of BOPE with edited trek.exe.

for german install:

open trek.exe (patch exe) with any hex editor.
search for "BOTF" change BOTF to BOPG and save. there are 2 places this must be done (0x174357 & 0x17b09f)
replace trek.exe in install path of BOPG with edited trek.exe.

I am not sure if this would be compatable with other player that have not edited trek.exe in MP games. so you might want to save the installers trek.exe before overwriting.

Why is it Hades 1.1 and not 2.2?

[Malvoisin]

cause he divided it by 2

[Flocke]

cause Hades 2.2 seemed to have more compatibility issues

[ruthlessferengi]

after installing tourney version, main screen in left lower corner reads 9.9.7 that's intentional?

[Flocke]

yes, all right [size=0][/size]
