First:

Use you GRF or Data folder? If you use GRF file you need create a GPF file with your GRF Builder.

 

Later:

You upload your GRF File to your patch site folder. You has indicated the site in neoncube.ini

 

Finally:

Add in your Patch txt file (indicated also in the neoncube.ini) with that sequence:

 

1 GRF NameGPF.gpf

next step with neoncube(not a good patcher but you can use them)

Is to create a .rar archive with "data/your tabel files"

And adding them like to the patch list

 

examples

 

1 FLD yourarchive.rar

2 GRF your grf/gpf

3 FLD morepatches

4 GRF andmore..

what if I want to merge it to my grf? how should I save it? hoping to get answer if I finally learn this I'll be able to apply my graphics skills on custom sprites

yakuu I really thank you for pointing it to me, but it still not working for me man

[yakuu]

If you wanna patch it into your GRF it need a grf or gpf file

like you do folder like mine i do that actually normal

 

thats for customs as example;

C:\patch\customs\data\

with'in is there lua files, sprite, texture, idnum2itemdesctable, idnum2itemdisplaynametable, idnum2itemresnametable, num2itemdesctable, num2itemdisplaynametable, num2itemresnametable - its all you need for Customs. So ive a clear "patch folder"

 

when iam done with the files on my desk i put them into that folder, creating grf upload the grf and let them patch in my patch grf

Small tipp, use a patch.grf for patches, neoncube is after every patch verry slow if they need to read all the pal or each rsm and else.

After sometime with neoncube youll swap to Thor

 

But as first neoncube is okai.

 

 

-Edit files

-create grf

- upload

- adding to patch list

- patch

- have fun

I noticed that this is the first time you are setting up your patcher, I suggest using Thor Patcher right away instead of using neoncube now(saves you the trouble) and go Thor patcher later.. Neoncube is old, and uses legacy patching technique.

 

This is just my 2 cents.
