Editing "Game.exe"

HunSoldier · GDI Hacker **Joined**: 02 Jan 2010 **Location**: Hungary

I'm on to make a TS-to-SS (Sole Survivor) mod and I wanted to modify the 'Game.exe' to don't read ECACHE##.mix and EXPAND##.mix only SOLECH##.mix and SOLECX##.mix. So I opened my Hex editor searched for 'ECACHE'. I have found this at 002fe388 and 'EXPAND' at 002fe390. I have overwritten these with 'SOLECH' and 'SOLECX'. I saved the file. Now I have put it into the game directory, double click and WTF?! It gave me this message: Failed to initialize...

How can I fix this?
Please help.

Depends, Failed to initialize... is the whole bootstrap initialization structure, could be anything.

If you have the LAN patch, try making that compadable, I edited one for my exe, but was lazy and just replaced game.exe with my exe, and when i launch game.exe it blows up. Didn't do any harm since I copied the entire TS folder into another directory for my mod.

It could very well be the LAN patch, don’t override Game.exe have a look at my tut and Nyerguds which my tut links to
(@ hyper on the subject of those 2 tuts, obsolescence :p)
