Just some patches I'm working on.

#No CD patch

Change:

.text:0040842C jnz loc_408500

Into:

.text:0040842C jmp loc_408476

And:

.text:00408478 jz loc_408500

Into:

.text:00408478 NOP
.text:00408479 NOP
.text:0040847A NOP
.text:0040847B NOP
.text:0040847C NOP

(that is, NOP out the jz instruction)

No intro vids

NOP out calls to 0x0081C693 at addresses:

0x00402AEA
0x00402B20
0x00402B56

Long load time fix patch

Game suffers from extreme load times

Running in windowed mode decrases load times by ~5x. In full screen mode the loading pizza animation is smooth, in windowed mode it's very laggy. Might be related?

To fix long load times change:

.text:0042A870 call ds:GetTickCount

into:

.text:0042A870 retn

/force command line arg

Maybe decreases load time? No idea what it does.

To force the '/force' command line arg change:

004029B3 C685 F0FDFFFF 00 MOV BYTE PTR SS:[EBP-210],0

into

004029B3 C685 F0FDFFFF 00 MOV BYTE PTR SS:[EBP-210],1

Windowed mode

Change:

004029AC C685 74FEFFFF >MOV BYTE PTR SS:[EBP-18C],0

Into:

004029AC C685 74FEFFFF >MOV BYTE PTR SS:[EBP-18C],1

Debug level select menu

To change 'game credits' menu into Debug level select menu..

and

.data:00972708 db 2

Into:

.data:00972704 db 1

and

.data:00972708 db 11

009726C4 21 43 52 45 44 49 54 53
