Details

All of the changes introduced by TELP's 1.3 can be run with existing savegames.  However, not all changes will be expressed if the involved game area has already been entered before applying the patch.  Here is a list of the changes that will be made immediately in all games.  The first eight entries are similar to the eight fixes made by kingkongcobra's 'Unofficial Patch'.

If an area has already been entered, you can force a change to take effect by leaving the area, saving your game, exiting to at least the main menu, and deleting the related files in your game's 'minisaves' folder.  This will cause the entire level to reset, so you'll have to fight any monsters again.
