client update to 382.17

You have to edit manually your ResourceMeta.def in Resources folder:

ForceScanDir
{
	string	Dir = "resources_override\resources\interface\maps\"
}
ForceScanDir
{
	string	Dir = "resources_override\resources\interface\themes\"
}

The edited file unfortunately doesn't work if put in resources_override folder and has to stay in Resources... so it will be deleted by next patch.

Ok, thanks very much for the info. Hopefully there will be a way to preserve the setting to be "patch proof" by the time the client goes live.

Since I was lately on blight, I saw that the blurry texture bug is still there; I was able to fix it but it is still annoying.

Notice that the issue is actually that the file is ordered such that the resources_override is read before the resources directory.

If you change the order to override after the resources directories, then the problem goes away as well.

So that is what the file looks like when done? There are two other lines in mine, both similar and for diff stuff? So do I just need those two ForceScanDir?

There's another exe going out today that looks for custom themes in the resources_override\interface\themes\ folder and removes the resources\interface\themes\ dir from the protection of no_delete. This should fix the problem.

Doesn't seem to work correctly. I'm using the expanded chat window mod (2 rows of 10 tabs). I have the necessary modded files in my resources_override/interface/themes/default/defs (sub "\" for the "/") and the mod does not work. If I put them into the resources/interface/themes/default/defs folder, overwriting the ones the server replaces, the mod works... till the next patch.

Did this fix not make it out, not work as intended, etc? Am really unhappy that this mod is broken. Especially as the other ones I use work just fine. Am on Order if it makes a difference.

Note: All of the 381.x and 382.x clients are deprecated. The current client is 383.7.

This is not the full file, only the lines which need to be modified. Edit the file, save it and that's all.
