Modding and Patching

from Elemental Forums

Just a quick question, when modding the Core files what happens to them when the patcher updates? Are the files overridden completely or does the patcher only insert changes to the files? I just wanted to know because if its the later having modified files be partially changed would be quite...bad and you couldn't restore them from a Core file backup as you would erase the data changes made by the patch.

 

Thanks,

Elsimir

Overwritten, keep 2 backups, one of original, one of modified. After the patch, you have to merge the change manually. That's why people tend to avoid modding core files if possible.
