FLEP custom patches: updates, testing and discussion - Page 102

Hi!

For some strange reason, my FLEP is not updating the Tomb4.exe with the changes. I am running the FLEP.exe program (with the latest patches.flp file from 21st October) but no changes are being applied. I am on Windows 11. I can see that when I patch it , the Tomb4.exe file gets replaced with a new version but no changes are made.

Any tips?

FLEP doesn't update tomb4.exe anymore. It now modifies external patches.bin file to avoid antivirus false positives.

The reason why you see tomb4.exe still being updated is because current version of patch set has a bug which always modifies tomb4.exe even if there were no changes. This bug will be fixed when ChocolateFan will release new patch set.

EDIT: Chocolate helped me. Apparently my Windows 10 installation had Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package missing. Downloaded it for both x86 and x64 and everything works correctly now.

You can download it "here". The links redirect to another Microsoft site and you will need to either log into your microsoft account or create one. There you can search for "redistributable 2010" package and it should let you download.

Yesterday I moved to Windows 11 and have the same problem again. But then I have the idea and removed all plugins from my project and add it again. Now I have no errors. I'm not sure what was the problem.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the dumb question, but I tried to modify something in FLEP and this is the error message I got "Can't find : patches.bin, continue with other files?".
I didn't delete anything and I can't update my tomb4 anymore.

Thanks for the help

^it's the new way of patching levels now, basically all the enabled patches goes into a different file, which is patches.bin, meanwhile tomb4.exe it's left untouched
All of this it's to avoid or reduce false positive problems with antiviruses

You can download the new files to use here (which are basically tomb4.exe, patches.bin and flep.dll): https://www.tombraiderforums.com/sho...&postcount=848

Hi,

couldn't figure out so far, for what "Remap bubbles array" is good for?

I thought I increases the magic shooting from Demigod, altering the bubbles object, but I don't see any difference with and without the patch.

Thanks for any clarification in this matter.

Hi! I have a question about customizing footsteps sounds. Is there a way to make a patch to mute 'lara foot' sfx while walking on metal, gravel etc. ?

At the moment I'm using GT but it's quite workaround and has a bug.
