PKZIP is stupid. It doesn't unzip empty directories, including the player object directories. You gotta go to your circle~1\lib\plrobjs directory and create the following directories: A-E F-J ZZZ K-O P-T U-Z The order you make these 6 directories doesn't matter of course. > > 2.

Allthough C++ doesn't have a patch command, or I don't know about it, you can just look at the actual patch files. People have mentioned bugs with the OLC, but I haven't seen any yet.

I don't know how it works, but the program must store the records no matter what the hell you keep adding to them. Adding fields to objects on the other hand, I found harder because you have to mess around with the way the program reads in the object files and how it saves the objects later. The only problem you might run into with adding fields to the player files will be that you have to delete the player base. But if you have no players that's not a problem! :) > > 4.
