Original Message: The skill editor might BREAK your game with the Greyface patch installed!
Thanks for the heads-up, Zedd! Greyface's patch changes the location of the skill table in mm7.exe. If the skill editor has been used before, it will continue looking in the old location. The fix is simple: Delete the INI file. (It's ski_edit dot ini. The board won't let me post the exact file name.) The editor should then find the new location of the skill block. However, attempting to use the editor after applying the patch, without deleting the INI file, will cause it to overwrite the wrong part of mm7.exe. This will have unpredictable and possibly game-breaking results. Since you've unwittingly corrupted your mm7.exe, you should reapply the patch. (I assume it replaces the file, rather than modifying it.) Anyone using the skill editor for the first time only after applying the patch will be fine. BV
