COMPAT v1.1 - Patch Combiner Written By Stephen Crowley Usage: compat first.pat second.pat combined.pat [-a1|-a2|-a3] [-b] [-zdefault.pat] FIRST.PAT and SECOND.PAT are combined and written to COMBINED.PAT. -a1 If both patches modify the same thing then automatically use data from FIRST.PAT -a2 If both patches modify the same thing then automatically use data from SECOND.PAT -a3 If both patches modify the same thing then abort. -b Automatically create Description and Creator. (no prompt) -z Use this patch file instead of "default.pat" This is a nice little utility to combine D2 patches together into 1 patch. It is pretty simple. Just supply the two filenames and the output filename and it'll do it. ***CHANGES FROM 1.0*** 1.0 Had a serious bug in it. It won't mess anything up, but it will not combine the patches correctly and the prompt wouldn't work right either. Sorry I didn't notice this sooner. Examples: 1. compat mw2.pat tuffguys.pat mwtuff.pat -a1 Combines mw2.pat and tuffguys.pat to form mwtuff.pat automatically using data from mw2.pat 2. compat ghost.pat realwimp.pat wmpghost.pat -a2 -b Combines ghost.pat and realwimp.pat to form wmpghost.pat automatically using data from realwimp.pat. It creates the Desc&Creator aotomatically. 3. compat mw2.pat army.pat realbad.pat -a3 -zdflt19.pat Combines mw2.pat and army.pat to make realbad.pat. If both patches have different data in something, it will abort. It uses dflt19.pat to compare the differences between the two patches.
