1 - INTRODUCTION
================
loki_patch-fix is a program that fixes old patches for loki games that now
segfault upon startup. It does this by replacing the old loki_patch executeable
with a new one automatically. Running this file on any of the non-working
loki patches should make them work without any problem.

Note that not all patches segfault on startup, but at least Heroes3
is known to do that, so you should check if it does segfault on startup
before running it through loki_patch-fix.

If you experience any problems please report them to the bug database
on http://sourceforge.net/projects/goldenfiles/

Hope this software is helpful.

2 - USAGE
=========

2.1 - GUI
- - - - -
Simply select the broken patch in the window that appears.
After that a console running loki_patch-fix and the patch will appear.

2.2 - Console
- - - - - - -
Simply run loki_patch-fix ./brokenpatch.run
For example:
$ loki_patch-fix ./heroes3-1.3.1a-x86.run
or
$ loki_patch-fix ./civctp-1.2a-x86.run

If it complains that the file is not a loki_patch then run
$ loki_patch-fix --force ./civctp-1.2a-x86.run
to force it to apply the fix.
