You can check it by deleting everything directly in ui directory inside resources0 - the interface still works then.
However I didn't try to combine the dlls from version 0.1.66 with those from 0.3.x because both those versions doesn't have lan working. If retail gets lan we can try it and check if use of 0.1.66 interface will do with retail lan support. Otherwise we need a pro hex editing to get the old interface.

It´s not possible. The dll-entry points have changed, so the old dlls are not compatible with other versions. AND the LAN is deactivated INSIDE the dlls. So you cannot change all exe and dlls, which is working but you have no lan support. I already tried to import the inserted bytes from the new dlls into the old files, but then the dll are broken and will not load. So it is not possible.
And the "new" interface is stored in the fe2-folder and not in the dlls. And you can delete the whole ressources0.s2z file, as long as it is unpackt in the gamefolder. Inside the dlls are only the functions to handle the interface-command and so on. You can see this by disamble the dlls with a programm like IDA Pro, but there is no way to combine the dlls. You must find the places inside the game.dll where lan is deactivated and use a hexeditor to enable it again, but its near to impossible to find this places in a dll big as the game.dll. Just change the interface to old does nothing. Already tried that of course. Local server is completly disabled it the new game version. You can trie that by open the console with CTRL+F8 an type in:
Code:
startgame local Testserver map:caldavar gametype:normal teamsize:5 spectators:0 referees:0 gametier:1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Try that in our version. Game will start. Try that in new version. There isn´t even gametype "local" anymore. So we can only hope they put it back in.
