Jikari patch problem

[omegaliezka]

Help my patcher always repack everything (palettes) in my server's grf even though I only edit a single text file (item_db.txt).

 

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?  It's very annoying because it needs a lot of time to repack everything from the begining even though I have already patched before.

 

Thanx for your support all.

I think that's just the way Jikari-cube and NeonCube are programmed -- they repack the GRF every time a file is added or deleted.

Patchers that don't repack the GRF until it reaches a certain fragmentation level:

• Thor_Patcher
• Triad_Patcher

Thanx for the reply Mr. Brian, but i have also seen another server using jikari patch doesn't have this kind of problem. It can patch and just repack the newest files. Do you have any other ideas why?

Maybe they have 2 server GRFs ?

1. (server.grf) for frequently changed files like translation .txt files

2. (palettes.grf) for sprites, palettes, maps, and other files that are not changed as often
