Managing patches

In order to create a patch, update or an add-on, follow these steps:

• Launch MoleBox Pro and open an existing project.
• Create a new empty package. Since packages are applied in alphabethical order, name the new package with a string 'greater' then original package's name is. For example, to replace a file in the package named "sounds1.dat", you can create a new package named "sounds2.dat" (entire file names, including name extensions, are compared).
• Add the files which are new or being replaced into this package. If you're replacing files, their names should match the previously used names.
• MoleBox this package (click "Pack to box" and select this package in the list).

Such a package can be distributed as an update, for example, in zip archive.

Remarks

This feature is available in Molebox Pro beginning with version 2.2.0. If you have a project packed with previous version (2.1.xx) of MoleBox, you will need to rebuild the target executable too.

If you need to replace the executable, you'll have to rebuild the default package with the options used before.
