patch nsoe2 with arwop stuff?

Open neogeographica opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

The arwop readme says:

"If you have version 2 of Soul of Evil: Indian Summer installed, you may update it by copying progs.dat, pak0.pak, and pak1.pak from this archive to Quake\nsoe2 or wherever Indian Summer is installed. The progs fixes a few potential game-stopper bugs that may occur in the FitzQuake085 engine, and adds minor gameplay changes."

So we could do that as a mod patch. Hmm.

Eh I dunno. That would add almost 40MB to the currently 3MB download... seems disproportionate. Also someone in the Quaddicted comments mentioned actually needing to merge pak files rather than just copy. ALSO also, the readme is ambiguous about what to do with the progs_dp.dat file in this process.

Leaving this issue open for now, but leaning against it.

Well the download size thing could be made a non-issue by hosting it myself on S3 and treating it like a patch_url.

I should peek inside those pak files and see what is up.
