THANKS!

I've updated the links in the first post, so they should work again.

Does anyone mind if I replace the recommended FTP client with FileZilla? It's regularly updated and quite easy to use.

Don't mind at all. Whatever works, right?
I've used it myself for a few years now as well.

 

[Armada]

Done. I've added a note about contacting us for the login details, too.

Cheers! I restored the links for DialogMerge and the old Mod Patch Utilities now as well.
Just in case anyone might want them at some point.

On the contrary as the FTP doesn't work for me any longer.

That must somehow be a problem on your end though; it worked for me last time I tried and I believe @Armada can access it as well...

It worked for me last time I tried it, too. Which was about 5 minutes ago. But I use WinSCP to do my FTP stuff.

In the end, what program you use shouldn't really matter. Any FTP client should do the trick.

I found a tool that can come in handy when renaming multiple files.

It is named Advanced Renamer, and it allows you to rename multiple files at once.
You can also pick what word(s) you want to be replaced in your files for instance, something that would have been very useful when I made the TEHO Black Pearl mod.

Useful!
At work I usually write Matlab scripts for that.
At home, I used to use this one: Download THE Rename 2.1.6
Not sure how it compares to the one you found. But I do notice the logo looks like Indiana Jones.

That is a point going to it!

@Pieter Boelen (or anyone who can answer) is it possible to use functions from say stdio.h in code? Or any other standard library? I have some cool ideas but the game breaks when I try

 

[Grey Roger]

Upload "error.log". That should give some clue as to what is going wrong.

At a guess, "stdio.h" and other standard libraries included in C++ are not included in the game, therefore functions in those libraries will not work in the game. If that is the case, "error.log" will probably report problems with those functions.
