Running game in extracted mode

Post by Browser_ice » Mon, 13. Mar 17, 00:16

The porpose of this thread is to explore the game, to understand how it works, by running it in an extract mode.

To better understand how the game works, I have replaced the content of the root game folder with the Cat/dat files extracted. What ever folder was there before extracting, I kept them. So what ever files was there before that is not a Cat/dat were kept. Once I extracted all, I removed those Cat/dat files.

I did the same think for the extensions folder. I first unsubscribed and removed all extensions except the ego_dlc_2 and ego_dlc_teladi_outpost.

I will post the tree look of the resulting game folder in a few minutes.

I was able to start a new game and played for at least 5 min. So the setup seams to work.

I will continue working fine extracted. In fact, that is what many of us do for mod development.
