I grew a bit tired dealing with all these tweaks, patches and what not so I decided to combine other patches and make a one giant all encompassing patch with some added changes.

Note: Ratchet302's patch actually contained the Official Patch, Bonus CD, and Widescreen Fix already. But it only has some of the Unofficial Patch changes, whereas this Mega Patch has everything from the Unofficial Patch.

So here's what is in this Mega Patch:
Official 1.0.1 Patch
Bonus CD/Domination Starter Kit
Widescreen Fix (to change resolution edit the resolution file in ReleaseExe folder)
Unofficial Patch
Ratchet302's 1.1 Patch

Tweaks after I combined all of the above:
No intro screens at all
Video Hints turned off by default
Auto saving turned off by default (to prevent bug that occurs when an autosave happens when a cursor is over the research button)
Max population is 200 (like in Unofficial Patch - this was the only overlapping tweak between Ratchet302's Patch and the Unofficial Patch)

A big thank you to Ratchet, PCGW, and EvilPlanet for all these awesome changes. Now to finally play the game :D

Just downloaded and installed this. Thanks for putting it all together.

The game is now playing for me in a quite small window and I can't figure out how to change it to either a bigger window, or fullscreen :s

[edit: Just found the resolution file in the ReleaseExe folder. I should have looked harder haha]

Whoops sorry about that, I should have mentioned it.

Thank you very much for this compilation. I just was starting to look for patches after playing vanilla and found this. Great work, good sir!
I've made a few more fixes and I added them to the main patch, the folder structure is different. It really bothered me how the Do Not Touch animation always glitched out but it works fine now. Also the intros are disabled, I'm not sure why you added that Video folder back as it's reduntant.

I am also working on a gameplay patch but it's part of a separate download.
http://www.nexusmods.com/evilgenius/mods/7/

Bear in mind that I'll keep releasing fixes for the first patch just in case, the version number is there just for the looks though.

The gameplay patch does have a 200 pop cap and whatever else other features. There are quite a few changes although I can't be bothered to list all of them right now.

I don't know if any other animations glitch out, the DNT trap was the only trap I could think of.

This Mega Patch is kinda outdated already, seeing as it might be missing some of the newer files, along with some other changes.

I am also working on a gameplay patch which has lot's of new changes but for now I removed the download from PCGW as some users messed stuff up so I made it separate on GitHub for now.

Bear in mind that I'll still do some hotfixes for the first patch just in case, the version number won't change as I'll simply merge the new changes.

Yup this effectively renders this patch useless then haha. But thanks again for doing some more work! I'll take a closer look at the changelog later.

I remember your patch's population count being less than 200, unless I did something wrong while patching, I also remember still seeing an intro video with your patch, so I had to change a setting in a text file somewhere, I can't remember which one.

And the other only important change I made was turning off auto-saving by default to prevent that bug.

What are your plans going forward? I'll probably restart a game and test this patch out. I also have some ideas for some much needed changes.

I restored the intros in the gameplay patch because I didn't really mind them, I'll disable them again I guess. I probably hadn't included the correct files when you downloaded the patch, as I was still setting it up.

Ok so I decided to play Evil Genius again and at first was like *sigh* so much work to patch it. lol.

Then I came across your Mega Patch, seems to make things easier.

But I just had a question.
Do I still need to install the World Domination Starter Kit?

As I see in the Mega Patch downloaded folder there's a 'DominationPackResources.erb'

Or does it come with the Mega Patch and I only need to install:
1) Evil Genius
then
2) Mega Patch
?

Thanks, and sorry if it's a silly question,
Vincent

Sorry just saw this, EG then the Mega Patch will do fine.
The Mega Patch contains the Bonus CD which is the Domination Kit

Thanks.. the game is working well now.

I just had another small question though hehe.

The intro is disabled right, well is there an easy way for me to re-enable it?
Couldn't see anything in a .txt or something unless I missed it.

If it's not possible for me to re-enable from my end then I'll just leave it be for now.
I just like the extra flavor it adds.

Secondly, the Intro Video is the only disabled video right?
So I won't miss out on anything else?

Thanks again,
Vincent

Video Hints are turned off, but you can enable that again in the settings.

And for the Intro Video, you have to change these 2 lines in concept.cfg from
StartupState=1
CopyrightScreenDuration=0

to

StartupState=0
CopyrightScreenDuration=10

That will restore the Intro Video.

Enjoy!

Can I apply the latest RaTcHeT302 patch over the Mega Patch to get the most up to date version of the fixes?

As I can see, the Mega Patch is from around January and RaTcHeT302´s is still being updated.

No, you shouldn't merge any of the patches. I used a different folder structure so they'll not work properly.

If you like the gameplay changes, then use this Mega Patch thingy. If you don't like the gameplay changes, (I personally thought they were glitchy/out of place) then use this http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/404-evil-genius-pcgamingwiki-patch/

If you wish to remove my Patch simply delete the Patch folder. I don't really remember what fixes he included from my patch though into his, I don't know if he downloaded my latest release as I've changed things around a bit.

Kinda wish I could just update EG myself, that would make everything so much easier.

Unrelated, but, the Evil Planet wiki isn't really working though for some reason.

I tried to download the files, but the link no longer works. Can someone who already has it on their computer post a new link?

I accidentally logged on GOG Galaxy today, I would've missed your message if it wasn't for Xenonauts 2.

Those links work for me, what are you trying to download?

Just tell me what you want me to upload and I'll put up a mirror okay.
