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.
