Uta Heinsch Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 So, Max has a patch and Mok has a patch and they both fix different issues and they both add different features and they both have different "Ufo Defense.exe" files. Given that whichever one gets installed second will overwrite the .exe of the one that got installed first... will the features of the first one get wiped? Mok's patch is the older one so does Max's patch improve upon the Mok executable or is it a modification from the original? Anyone know? - Uta Heinsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) It's better to specify which patches you are talking about, otherwise you're stuck to Max or Mok. Edited February 8, 2006 by Hobbes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize there were other patches from Mok or Max than these. - Uta Heinsch Edited February 8, 2006 by Uta Heinsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Eh, I thought Max and Mok were fictional names, 1,000 apologies. I've looked at both and it seems that you can use Max's patch with parts of Mok's, but you will not be able to fully use both because of the .exe file. Mok's original post describing the voices patch states that his modified .exe file fixes the timer, uses DirectMusic, etc. but it seems that you can only use the modified sound files. If this is correct, then try installing Max's patch and on Mok's patch unzip the contents of the directory /SOUND to the corresponding directory on UFO to get the old alien voices. Oh, and before you do this backup your existing UFO game, since I am not 100% sure this will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uta Heinsch Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 ...try installing Max's patch and on Mok's patch unzip the contents of the directory /SOUND to the corresponding directory on UFO to get the old alien voices.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah, that's pretty much what I did. I installed Mok's patch and then installed Max's on top, thus overwriting the executable but keeping the sound files. It seems to retain the old-style alien screams (good) but loses the sound effects in the opening sequence (bad). The functionality of Max's patch (autosell and other features) is retained (good) so I guess there's more good than bad and the bad isn't all that critical. - Uta Heinsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
