(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey..
Since i've been editing patches a lot lately, i found it rather time-consuming always having to offzip & packzip manually, so i made a .bat file which does that for me..
& now for you to

You must login or register to view this content.

how does it work:

You put the offzip.bat & packzip.bat in a folder with your patch_mp.ff & offzip.exe & packzip.exe (included in download)

Doubleclick offzip.bat & it will decompress the patch & extract the rank.gsc

NOTICE: the rank.gsc will still be split in 2 files, idk how to do this in dos but it's nothing but copy paste to get it in 1 file..

-----------------------------

to pack:

once you have edited your rank.dat, paste it back in 000654ed.dat & 00061530.dat
once the rank is split in these 2 files again (correct of course)
just double click packzip.bat

Time to transfer your patch

thanks a lot for this but can u tell me why my screen dosnt the map screen load after i eedited the W@W patch it will help alot thx

you probably did something wrong when copying the hex

yeah i think so too i followed ramseyy's tut. and he said to go to 10000 and cut but i was cutting parts of my script and the real script so it was it might have cutted out two of the same thingsand left a whole can this be why?

if i post my rank.dat file can you tell me the prob.?

decompress a ori patch with my tool, so you have unmodded dat files..
also, make sure your rank.dat has length 894B !!

HEX EDITOR
--------------------
Copy your entire rank.dat
then in your 61530.dat
CTRL + F
type in GSC & ENTER
PRESS RIGHT ARROW ONCE (ONLY ONCE !)
CTRL + SHIFT + END
CTRL + V
CTRL + HOME
CTRL + G
type in 10000 & ENTER
CTRL + SHIFT + END
CTRL + X
CTRL + S
in 654ed.dat
CTRL + E
ALT + L
type in 2FFA
CTRL + V
CTRL + S

now use my tool to packzip it to the patch

this is how I do it, i don't use my mouse
once you get the hang of it, all this takes less then 20 seconds

nice thread

ok thx but i type in gsc it doesnt find 61530.dat i only find it in 654.dat :S idk why

So Basically you are saying..

Step 1. Put patch_mp.ff in folder with Offzip and packzip files
Step 2. Click Offzip and you'll get 2 files
Step 3. Edit the 2 files with HxD to how you like and When done editing do Packzip

Hooray you just edited a WaW patch_mp.ff =D , Go test it out!!!

Right? =P

basically, YEAH
of course you still need to do the hex copy paste
idk how to do that in msdos, it should be possible with the debug command but too much trouble, copy paste is easier

Awesome tool, so much eaiser Thanks
