dat/data load order confusion
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2020 4:09 pm
fallout2.cfg says "master_patches=data" and sfall's ddraw.ini states that the load order with DataLoadOrderPatch=1 (which is default) is "master_patches > critter_patches > patchXXX.dat > critter_dat > f2_res_patches > f2_res_dat > master_dat"
If I have RPU installed and change, for example, "text/german/cuts/narrate.txt" and put it under "data/", it doesn't work. The "mods/rpu_german.dat" seems to have a higher priority.
If I put the file into a dat, say "z.dat" under mods, it works fine.
Why is that? Shouldn't have everything under data/ have the highest priority?
