This repo contains patches to use with [Spice2x 'Import from URL'](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/Patching-DLLs-(hex-edits)#importing-patches-from-a-url) feature.
We'll be keeping the **repo public** and **url alive** for as long as possible, **feel free to [contibute patches](CONTRIBUTING.md)** for the community through pull requests!
You may help the community by contributing patches.
## How?
**Fork** the project, **add/modify** files, propose a **Pull Request** and we'll get to it asap.
**Important Note:** When adding a new game version, add it to the [List of supported games](SUPPORTED.md) using the existing format, we won't merge your PR until you do.
Once a pull request is merged, patches will be available within minutes at `https://sp2x.two-torial.xyz/`
## JSON Naming
**Spice2x patches have one json file per game version**.
It needs to be **[named in a very specific way](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/patches.json-specification#pe-identifier)** to be recognized by the [Spice2x 'Import from URL'](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/Patching-DLLs-(hex-edits)#importing-patches-from-a-url) feature.
A python [peinfo.py](https://github.com/akitakedits/peinfo) script is available to help you figure that name out for your provided game's dll file.
Check out [peinfo's README](https://github.com/akitakedits/peinfo/blob/main/README.md) for more information.
## Converting web to json (spice2x) patches
Right now **this has to be done manually**, however we plan on having tooling available to make this easier.
Look at the files respective structures (html and json) and try to figure it out yourself.
## Porting spice2x patches
It is possible to port patches from **one version of a game to another**.
A python [port_sp2x_patches.py](https://github.com/akitakedits/port_sp2x_patches) script is available to help you through some of that work.
However it will **not be able to port all patches** and it will **not always be 100% accurate**, **false positives can occur**.
Porting patches the script cannot, or fixing false positives will have to be done manually.
