I've just pushed the beginings of a Zero Hour reimplementation project to https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme if anyone is interested in contributing to such a project.
The project is using a similar approach to the one recently used successfully by the OpenRCT2 project. That is, the reimplementation is initially being implemented as a dll that is injected into the game run time that replaces the games functions with new implementations as they are written, allowing it to be reimplemented a bit at a time. I've already reimplemented the custom memory allocator the game uses as well as a couple of string classes. Its very early days for the project, but if anyone has some C++ knowledge and is interested in getting involved, drop by the #thyme channel on freenode.net IRC. When some significant progress has been made it should become possible to fix engine bugs and add additional features to the game. |

If you provide -mod with a directory path and not a single .big file name, the code for it suggests it will load all the big files from that directory, not just one. However my understanding was that this can't override some things.

If you provide -mod with a directory path and not a single .big file name, the code for it suggests it will load all the big files from that directory, not just one. However my understanding was that this can't override some things. I remember someone mentioning that as well, though I never really got around to testing it. Well if you can make it so that whatever is in -mod will always get loaded last, then that would be helpful. -------------------- |
