sup guys^^
i need to know if anyone is familiar with diablo2oo2's dup2 patch maker. basically i want to know if it can be used to automatically search a string and delete it, instead of replacing. this is related to pk2 editing, more specifically with the media.pk2.
i have injected all 11th degree files into the data, particles and media .pk2's. i have also changed all of the chinese and euro weps to 11th degree. however gear wise, all i have been able to edit without deleting bytes out of
the itemdata_xxxxx.txt files is the chinese gear.
if you are unaware, 11th degree has 3 different sets, one of those sets are universally worn between the two races. i have used the universal set on the chinese, however on the euro's i would like to use one of the other sets. there names are as follows
universal set: clothes_11_ha.bsr
set a: clothes_11_set_a_ha.bsr
set b: clothes_11_set_b_ha.bsr
my dilemma is that i cannot change the european item name to set a or set b without manually searching through the text file for data to delete in order to keep the file the same size as the original. i would like to use dup2, to
make a patch which searches and replaces item\europe\man_item\clothes_10_ha.bsr with item\common\man_item\clothes_11_set_a_ha.bsr and also search for another string(which i have found to be the size which i need to delete), and delete it.
the purpose of the patch is simply long term. for example if there is an update and the file has been overwritten, i can simply use the patch, rather than having to do it manually again.
all and any help would be greatly appreciated
ps. if you have another method of doing this, please post it.
