Not only that, but the whole repack+installer in the link of the thread's first message.

Everything else seems to work more or less fine though. If I save and then load from the village it gives me some particular error, about inability to read a file from Data.pak. I still wonder if it does not work only on my machine?
I almost sure it's related to the data.pak limited to 1024 files (mpq format used by duam) . I've been working on a homemade package file format to avoid that. It works already, but didnt published it with vrpg.

Do you think... it would be possible to upgrade the code for newer versions of Visual Studio? You would need to upgrade it to VS 2008,and then to 2010... doesn't sound too easy though...
Forget it. Visual studio 6 will run only under winXP, newer win version are quite borky with it (the ide is painfully slow). Also upgrading to a newer language is like rewritting everything, .NET language is alot different. I'd rather rewrite it in Java so everyone could play this legacy game but... i'm a java rookie

It wont mess things up if you only modify existing txt/dat files. If you add new ones you'll run into the data.pak file limitation error.
