Patching files

[DutchDuck]

Hello rathena members!

 

Im wondering  i want to upload a patch using the patcher..

 

Example:

I want to add a custom map.

I put the rsw git gat files in a folder called data.

 

These files get merged into the data folder of my ro.

 

But if i want to add something inside a text file like the mapname table.

Lets say i want to add

Testmap to the napname table using a patch 

 

If j make a file called mapname table and only put in

Testmap

 

Would this get merged into the mapnametable.txt by using a patcher?

Or do i have to put evre info located in the original  mapnametable 

And then enter testmap  so you get like

Pronterra

Aldabaran

Morroc

Testmap

 

... okay the question is.. if i make a patch by  grf  do i only add in the new stuff that i want to add in an empty txt file so that this get merged with the existing files  or do i have to put the new stuff into the existing file for it to be overwritten with the patcher

put the new stuff into the existing file for it to be overwritten with the patcher unless it dont exist, then it gets added in

So in order to  add testmap into mapnametable  i need to put testmap into the existing file

edit the file you want to modify, then add them in your patch.

example:
A file has: prontera,geffen,payon

now you edit A file, lets call it B file
B file has: prontera,geffen,payon,testmap

when you add B file to patch, patch to A
A file will become: prontera,geffen,payon,testmap

now if you make new file call C file and made like this:
C file: testmap

when you add C file to patch, patch to A
A file will become: testmap

what happened to prontera,geffen,payon? they were gone because you made a new file.
