- SHUFFLE
- =-=-=-=
-
- Usage: shuffle general.mix scenario.scn
- Where scenario.scn is the file which contains the ASCII scenario
- information.
-
- This will create a new file called general.new (it will overwrite the
- file if it currently exists). This takes a while to create as shuffle
- is very unoptimised and just reads/writes 1 byte at a time.
-
- What this program does:
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- This program lets you create general.mix files that are a different
- size from the originals. It changes the header information so that it
- reflects the changes made to the file.
-
- It does this by copying the file up to the position where the new
- scenario information is to go, inserting that then writing the
- rest of the file.
-
- It doesn't allow insertion of new mission, but allows you to easily
- replace current ones.
-
- You shouldn't have to use this program unless you want to make permanent
- changes to the general.mix file.
-
- How to use:
- =-=-=-=-=-=
- The offset you enter must be the beginning of the scenario information
- that you are replacing (usually the same offset you used for extract,
- but use a hex editor or view to get addresses).
-
- It takes a few minutes to create the file, so be patient.
-
- Use your brains when using this program (don't try using it when you have
- less than 4M on your HD ;))
-
- The map stays the same, so you will have to use map-p to insert the new
- map (if there is one) into the file.
