2.3 Upgrading to a newer version

If you had a copy of TTDPatch before, and are now upgrading to a newer one, there are a few things that you should pay attention to.

The first one is that TTDPatch may ask you to delete ttdload.ovl, because it has become outdated. This file will then be generated again the next time you run TTDPatch. It is generally a good idea to delete this file anyway.

The second thing is that you probably want access to the new options, but they are not in your configuration file. To do this, start TTDPatch with the following command line: 

ttdpatch -W ttdpatch.cfg

Alternatively, put the line 

writecfg ttdpatch.cfg
as the last line of ttdpatch.cfg.

Both ways will tell TTDPatch to read your current configuration from ttdpatch.cfg, and write this configuration back, along with the new options. Then you can edit the new file, and change the options as you like.
