Since i've had quite a lot of people ask me how i have the English patch working in this vid in kdn After the supposed disabling of mods, figured i'd quickly write up an explanation and small guide on what people need to do allow their mods to work properly again after these recent changes. Credit's go to Sieg and Chocorollos for the info that helped make this work around. Firstly, as far as why the mods do not work any more, Eyedentity recently introduced a new software to dn where when you start up the client, it will firstly look at all the.pak files in your clients folder and it will compare their sizes. If it finds that any of the.pak files in there are smaller than 450mb, it will not execute them and instead cause the client to crash ( Normally seen with the 'Shadder' error).

To work around this problem, we need to make our mods (.pak files) larger or equal to the 450mb benchmark. There are 2 relative options to do this. 1- Use a random file that is greater than 450mb when creating your mod. If for example you are creating a English patch, you'd take the random 450mb file ( that is not of the same type as your mod file that you want to make ( like.txt file and.txt file)) and put it in the same folder as the uistring file.
When you compile that English patch, it will be greater than the required 450mb check that dn needs, will not crash your client and will work properly as intended. But this method can be less efficient if you don't know how to make mods and can be a massive pain to share since uploading and downloading at least 450mb worth of data might be annoying to some people (especially if you have bad internet). 2- Increase your mod file's size by filling it with a bunch of NULL's that serve as just extra bytes without altering the contents. This method is much more efficient and 'beginner friendly' compared to the above. Credits go to sieg for the main explanation and i'll be covering this method in detail to try to make sure people can fix their mods without any issues. Small warning though, you will be using the command prompt and very minor programming to do this so make sure you follow exactly what is explained below to avoid any issues with your computer. Step- 1 - trunc.exe In order to start, we will firstly need to download the trunc.exe function from here: What trunc.exe does is it will extended your file size to be what ever size of bytes you desire by adding in NULL characters ( i.e ' 0' ).
These NULL characters just serve to increase your files byte size and will have no effect on your mod file ( similar method is used in Linux with the truncate function or in C++ with the SetEndOfFile function). Once you have downloaded it, do not try to open it since it will briefly open the command prompt then close again. In order for it to work, you need to run it from the command prompt ( also known as cmd).
If you are using windows 7, go to the start button and in the search function type in cmd and pick the first option ( it will be 'cmd.exe') then open it. If you are using Windows 8 or 8. Temple Of Elemental Evil Patch Notes. 1, go to the search on the right side of your screen and search cmd.
You will see it called 'Command Prompt'. Click it once and it will open. Do not open the cmd as an administrator. That will not be necessary for this task. If you are using Mac or any other OS. Ya i can't really help there since i only tested this on windows.sorry.
If you've opened the cmd without any issues, your computer screen should look something like this Now we will need to put the trunc.exe file that we just downloaded into the same location that we see is displayed in our command prompt. To do this, simply open up any random file and move to the same location that is displayed in the cmd. I advise using the 'Downloads' file since that will be common to most people and will help you follow what i'm doing more easier. In the above, you will just remove the last part and make it the same as in your cmd. In my case, i'll delete the Downloads section so that it looks exactly like what's in the cmd before the >character. Then press enter. If you did everything correctly so far, you'll be in a file that looks something like this Simply move the trunc. La Gioconda Ttf. exe file to this file then close the window.
