Click here to download this html guide. OmniPatch is a program that can apply and create a patch for a Myth II plugin (or other files) from an older version to an updated version. This program is most useful for people with slow internet connections as well as mapmakers who are working on plugins and are beta testing often. |
OmniPatch can be downloaded from here. If the program has "Apply" in its name then it is for applying a patch to the old plugin which will make the updated plugin. While "Create" is for creating a patch which is what the mapmaker will need. Mac OSX users will use the one with "OSX" in its name. The one with "Carbon" is for OSX users to create a patch. |
Let's say you have a Myth II plug-in called "I_am_Retarded beta 2" and the mapmaker releases "I_am_Retarded beta 3". But you have a slow or limited internet connection and decide to download the omnipatch called "IaR_b2_to_b3". Open OmniPatch Apply and you will see something like this: ![]() Now you will select "IaR_b2_to_b3" and the window will look like this: ![]() After selecting the original file "I_am_Retarded beta 2" it will ask you where to save the new file "I_am_Retarded beta 3". Then it will create the new file and you will see this: ![]() Which means you are done. Close the OmniPatch window and delete the patch file if you wish. |
If you know how to apply omnipatches then you know enough to create them. First you select the original file which will be the older one. Then select the new file, and choose a name for the omnipatch file. I suggest the patch file's name has "omni" in it as well as the version of the old file to the new file. I add "omni" into the patch name so others will know it is an omnipatch and not a patch from PluginPatcher. Which is an older program that does the same thing OmniPatch does except OmniPatch can do patches for all files and PluginPatcher only with Myth plugins. Special thanks to IronDuke for creating OmniPatch. |
