Question about these Emergency Patches

[Blujahz]

There always seems to be an emergency patch a few days after a big patch and I was curious about the process of how MQ2 gets fixed when this happens.

Since it seems like MQ2 is mostly working now, does all that previous work go in the trash, or is it only an incremental fix for the emergency patch and the previous work can still be used?

If you download the macroquest2 source, and check eqgame.h.

All those numbers which are called offsets will change with new exe. (They are pretty much addresses to where everything is located)

The structures which is the hard part will normally be fine. So no, all the work that has been done wont be thrown away.

Everything that is fixed and broken now will more than likely be the same after the emergency patch, after we update eqgame.h, which normally takes somewhere between 20mins to 2 hours.

That's good to know. Thanks for the reply.
