My walls won't change price

So I thought I'd do something as trivial as changing the price of GAWALL and NAWALL to 100 from 250 by changing 1 single tag, I've done this same procedure about dozen times before throughout my years of modding TS and never had any problems until now...

When I change the walls price to 100, it will still be 250 in game for some unknown reason.

What I also noticed is when I took a look at the wall entries in the rules.ini before i edited them, there price was set to 50 but still cost 250 ingame.

I know this is just a small problem, but it's a really annoying one. Why this is happening i don't know. The only thing i can think of is it's a issue with the FreeTS version of TS that i'm using right now. Anyone else using FreeTS and get this problem?

This is happening because the prices of GAWALL and NAWALL are hardcoded in the Game.exe file.

There are 2 ways to solve this:
either un-hardcode the prices by opening the Game.exe file with a hex editor, then searching for GAWALL and NAWALL and replacing their strings entirely with 0-bytes
or
simply change the IDs of GAWALL and NAWALL to something else in Rules.ini and give them Image=GAWALL/Image=NAWALL.

I was about to do the second option. But I was so sure i'd changed the price before though. And thinking that really annoyed me. I think i'll edit the game.exe just to satisfie me
