Re: which program do you use to create .patch files?

Patch files are created with "diff -u" in Linux. I guess there are ports of diff for windows too (or there is some GUI that do the same).

For Sourcepatch you normally use the stadart Teewords Src and for newpath you mods src.
Make sure that there is the same folder struct or the patch will get to big.
And remove the files in src/game/generated as the will be generated later.
And only patch the "src" folder, in case you did not change anything out of it.

Why can't you simply redownload Tortoise?

You must put 3 things in 1 folder:
1. tw source
2. the patch and
3. gnu.exe (or something like that tongue) copied from the bin folder in the install dir.

Open command prompt and cd to that folder. Now:

patch -p0 < patch.patch

I think that's it.
