Tornado mods - where do i start?
Agathosdaimon:
thanks, my first thought was that the instructions were wanting me to rename force sb.exe to flight and desert, but what was throwing me is that the force_sb file is so much smaller in size than flight and desert exes - also i applied teh TMF107 patch already and that created already a flight_.exe and desert_.exe so i wasnt sure if i just rename the tmfpatched new flight and desert exes to something like flight_1.exe or something but then again these patched exes are so much larger in size and if they are teh bulk of where the patching and modding happens, if i just replaced them with force_sb.exe files wouldnt i be screwing those patches up?
current on my windows 10 laptop i have 3 tornado folders -
1 is the original game i installed from the action 16 cd (well i copied its contents over to my games folder as it doesnt have an install, it just assume onen would run it from the cd)
2. the copied version of my action 16 folder that i used to apply the TMF1.07 patch (which is the one i was wanting to add teh action16 sound patch to)
3. the tornado folder from your mod thread which is a ready to go version of tornado and all i have done to that is added the latest flight.exe
Frankie:
Do you have the original paper manual of Tornado?
Frankie:
My guess is that the force_sb executable actually calls the renamed FLIGHT and DESERT executables. The only way to know for sure is to try it. As long as you have the original TORNADO folder untouched, you don't have to worry about screwing up the folder where you have already applied the TMF patch. Of course you should also backup your TMF-patch-applied TORNADO folder just to be on the safe side.
Agathosdaimon:
okay i will try that and make copies of it all in case it goes wrong.
i do have the paper manual and such from the original tornado box yes. i would like to get teh box for the action sixteen version though , as i just have the cd for that edition
