How do I install companion expansion with latest release? #14

Open apollodeathstar opened 2 weeks ago

Can I use the patch from a few releases ago?

phobos2077 commented 2 weeks ago

No, it will revert certain changes in the mod. Someone needs to make a new patch and I didn't want to do it because I don't play with this mod myself.

You need to use dat2 or Dat Explorer to unpack dat files of both mods, then use compare tool like Beyond Compare or Win Merge to find conflicting files and merge changes. Then you'd also need to merge conflicting scripts (int) files, which is a bit more complicated...

Maybe I'll do it myself at a later date when both mods are more stable and won't be updating so often.

Sounds good hope you get around to it eventually. I will give it a shot with I have some time this week.
