Hm. Possiablly a pre-release patch since the project is on standstill?

[NirvashStarwind]

I was thinking this would be something that should be done since it would only take a few moments to set it up.


To make the patch.
being simple is always the best way to do it.
I would reccmond say...Make a folder called ''TOD2'' and put all of the patched files into the folder in the order they would need to be replaced in their corrosponding directories on the disc. folders and all. then use WinRar to create TOD2`s folder into an SFX archive in the options, that way it would be executable for an install / extract.

To install the patch.
As usual, Simplest is best.
The people wanting to modifiy their copy use the program "DVD Decrypter" to get their disc into ISO form on the PC. From there they load it in the program ''Apache2" and extract the files from the ISO to a folder called TOD2, Then they use the SFX file created by the destributer and extract it into the TOD2 overwriting the old non-modifiyed data. After thats all done and its completelly patched, They use the program "CD-DVD rom Generator" and import the files within the TOD2 folder into it, and change the discname from ROOT to TOD2, and under the layout settings insert the original discs SLUS data and ect, change the region from japan to USA. Then create an image off of it. Then of course burn the image with Alcohol 120% and bam, all done.

=====================================================


sorry for the long explination and the HUGE block its gunna look like, but its about as simple as it would be to destribute, probablly between a 500 megabyte and 1.5 gig download for a patch. Either destributable by blackcats in torrent form or on several sites for easy download (megaupload, fireclient, ect)

It would take about an hour or two to setup for destributeing, even less if its the data has allready been compiled for quickpatching. just uploading one chunk of the data at a time.

suggestions, comments, ideas, or anything, just post em here in relevance to the topic.


NOTICE: No, I am NOT rushing the project at all or trying to hurry everything up. These are all simple suggestions / advisory if anyone needed or needs them. if not, then just disreguard the topic here as if you never even saw it.

Perhaps I'm confused.  What exactly are you recommending here?  That the patch be released by itself so that people have to patch their own copies of the game?  If so, that was the plan all along.  Cless doesn't want to release the game ISO itself, the patch is meant for people who own the game so they can patch their own copy.

Or was that point here that you were asking for what is currently done should be released?  That's even less likely, or so I would think.  But if I missed something, please fill me in.

or you use PPF and avoid all that crap.

Not at all. Im suggesting an easy way to release the progress done on it so far in a patch form, I allready know he wont relelase it in ISO form (even though itll be all over the net less than a week after the patch`s final release)

this is just a method for makeing a patch and how people can use it on their pc after they get it.

or you use PPF and avoid all that crap.

Avoid what crap? turning on winrar and going to sleep, then wakeing up the next day, starting an upload, then going to work, coming back with all the hard work done? lol..

EDIT: reverted to original post.

except PPF for the menu shouldn't even exceed 500KB. my internal alpha didn't break 430. we know what we're doing.
