This is the readme to PatchIt!, a Python 3 application written by Triangle717.
Although LEGO® Racers modding is still in it's early stages, many mods are already being developed, and there needs to be a standard way to install them. Heavily influenced and based on Patchman!, a mod installer for the 1999 Data Design Interactive PC game LEGO Rock Raiders, PatchIt! is the standard and simple way to package and install mods for the 1999 High Voltage Software PC game LEGO Racers.
The three main goals for PatchIt! are as follows:
- Ask for the LEGO Racers installation, ensure one exists at that location, and store it in an open file format in the PatchIt! installation to be used as the Patch installation directory, and to create a completely portable (thumb-drive) application.
- Create a PatchIt! Patch by entering the mod name, version, author, and description, and point it to the modded files. Automatically compress the files into an open archive format (.PiA), and write the details to an open file format (.PiP), using the name and version for the filenames.
- Install a PatchIt! Patch by selecting the .PiP file, confirming the installation, and automatically decompressing the Patch archive directly into the LEGO Racers installation.
