Hello Manutoo,
** Can you please clarify what I should do (as detailed as your valuable time allows). I think this would be a good thing to add to the 'How to mod' post you have since I have searched and couldn't find any clear answers on the subject.
I recently began playing with a modified patch of Tennis Elbow, created by Dilima (similar to SamsPatch). I am having problems when trying to update the game when you release an update (like the most recent one). I tried asking Dilima on his post on his patch and he wasn't sure. I got a reply from ComeonANDY saying I should just download the update to my TE Folder with the modified patch and then I shouldn't have to do anything else. If that is the case, I don't know how to download just the update.
Here is what I currently do and the resulting problems:
Before I played with a modified patch; it was easy to update the game because obviously there was just your version to update. I just clicked on the link in your post for the most recent version of the game (https://www.managames.com/download.php?TE2011_fe10f.exe ~37MB [Permanent direct download link to the latest version]). But when I choose that option since playing with the modified patch or the option for the 'Patch' download(Patch for all versions since v1.0d Build 80 => 1.0f Build 96 - SubBuild 2012.12.17 : (download the Patch if you don't want to download the Demo again) it downloads a brand new tennis elbow.exe, config.exe and the unmodified games data, menu, profiles, etc. folders in my TE folder that already has the same folders and documents as the ones from my modified patch (obviously with different information contained within because it's a modified patch)
It seems that I cannot get the updated game version which is coded somewhere in the new entries that are added to my TE Folder after doing your update to 'communicate' with the ones that already exist from the patch. If I just copy the folders from the modified patch to replace the ones that are downloaded to the TE folder after your newest version download; doesn't that just erase any updates you made to the game and make me play with the version I had before the newest version download? The whole thing is very confusing to me since I have a modified patch. How do I get only the updates you make to the game while using Dilima's patch?
Thanks for your time!!
