Glad you enjoy it. Lately pacific general appeared on steam, so I thought about remaking those changes into injected dll library (where possible). It would require a lot of work, tho.

Just like both of you said - I've used ddraw wrapper as generic term. Recently, I've learned more about code injection. It's possible to rewrite those code alterations and prepare a dll library, that will include almost all of those changes. Only changes to the executable would be memory management ...

To run it on modern computer I used ddraw wrapper. This version worked.

I've read this program can also work, but I haven't tried it myself ddrawcompat.

I've used IDA Freeware Version 5.0 (you can find it on the internet).

Database is available on dropbox.

IDA can also be used to mark breakpoints and run executable, but at the time I've used olly debugger.

Also, nice to meet you I've found your mod and also tried to include some parts of it.

You download latest executable from dropbox and run it. If it doesn't run, you will need armory 4.71 data updated.zip and unpack it to data folder in pacific general installation folder (MAKE BACKUP FIRST).

It's a hobby project, so no promises

If I discover something new, I'll put it on dropbox.

Just hexedited the executable, but in the process I've been able to identify some functions and variables. If you have IDA Freeware Version 5.0, you can check Pacific General executable database I've created in the process.

One more thing worth mentioning - documentation of various file formats for Pacific General.

Contains some loose thoughts about possible changes and documents PACEQUIP.EQP, TFONT1.DAT and SVG (savegame) file formats.

I've succesfully decompiled Pacific General executable. If there are people interested in my findings, I've put all the files on dropbox . Latest executable can be found here . Full changelog for this executable is here . Some of the features it introduces: Increased number of files accessible in ca...
