Back up your old war2patch.mpq file and replace it with the one in there.

lol u maked it with script.bin (possible desync and drop in multiplayer because using diff file)
i will release some plugin in 3-4 days
u can more easy make it with c++ code
and not need to change old MPQ
it can load files just from folder
-
Can't wait to see the plugin.
As far as the dropping, the script.bin is exactly the same (just pointing to different images in the same sprite selection). There are no event/prog changes in the files.
I've tested this many games in multiplayer with great success (not a single drop/desync). I imagine if you are changing the event/prog lines of each single script, then yes, a desync is likely.

I have managed to make a whole new tileset that changes all warcraft 2 unit/buildings through Ed gorod's code. Plus some needed tweaks with war2patch.
It's called Sunset valley tileset (still not released)

I haven't released just yet this plugin to easily change the stuff but please support my little channel to get more motivated to make a whole video about how to tweak all of this. https://twitch.tv/dannyldd (https://twitch.tv/dannyldd) or http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfcxs8KSkOiehS9GK9rSAKg (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfcxs8KSkOiehS9GK9rSAKg)
