.bin files are reloaded... Instantly on minimize-maximize!

[Setras]

I'm not sure if bin file should have newer modify date value than one already loaded, but i have found that simply renaming bin files you can INSTANTLY load them into the game by minimizing and then restoring Allods Online Window!

[Setras]

I mean you have File.bin

And Spoof.bin

You rename your File.bin to File.bin.bkp for example and

Spoof.bin to File.bin.

Minimize -> Maximize -> You see a new bin file(texture or whatever else you can imagine. Another texture? LOL ).

Offtop:

I'm not sure, but you may want to prevent the replacement of longer music files by shorter ones in cases they are mid-played xD

I mean, i did not test, but what if we can close (with admin rights) AO's locks on certain files and replace them real-time.

I don't rly think anydev readsthis, but it may be possible to revive some texture mods. Not for everyday use, but for cinematics etc.

While trying to launch a nude patch i have multiple allods crashes.

I really should NOT close AO's handles xD

[Setras]

Still, it worked for user addons, whicj is very useful for modmaking, byt trying to replace developer files i have failed...

а описания .bin у юзер-аддонов (.xdb) перезагружаются?

[Setras]

Не знаю, можно изменить xdb, после чего свернуть-развернуть игру и перезагрузить аддон - посмотреть.

Я не пробовал именно тот порядок который сейчас описал, но "изменить бин, свернуть - развернуть игру" работало только на bin, размер виджета и т.п. остались неизменными, изменилась только картинка.

Повторюсь, после изменения xdb файла я не перезагружал аддон, а сейчас лениво запускать АО проверять.
