Introduction:
----------------

Welcome to the Offline Map Patch for PSOX. The purpose of this patch is to enable the full Forest and Cave maps when playing the game in offline mode. Forest and Cave normally have fewer enemies offline than they do online, and this patch will enable the use of the fully populated online maps in offline mode, so there are more enemies to kill. This patch only affects the offline Forest and Cave maps; the offline Episode II maps are unchanged, as those maps are actually different from online mode, rather than simply having fewer enemies than the online maps, as is the case in Episode I.

--------------
Installation:
--------------

After downloading and unzipping the PSO_Xbox_Offline_Map_Patch.zip archive, you should have this README.txt file, as well a patching program.

Navigate to where PSO is installed on your Xbox hard drive, e.g.

E:\games\PSO\dvd\

Copy the file "gsl_set_enemy.gsl" from your Xbox hard drive to your PC's C:\ drive, and then run the patching program and click the "..." button. A window will open asking you to select the "gsl_set_enemy.gsl" file you want to patch. Navigate to C:\, and you should see the "gsl_set_enemy.gsl" file you just copied from your Xbox. Select it, then click the "Open" button. Now press the "Start" button, and you should get confirmation that the file was successfully patched. When you close this message, the patching program will automatically close, too.

Copy the patched "gsl_set_enemy.gsl" file back to your Xbox hard drive and overwrite the original file. That's it! You can now play the game with the patch.

--------------------
Troubleshooting:
--------------------

If the patching program gives an error that says:

"gsl_set_enemy.gsl - File size/version missmatch!"

then that means you tried to patch a file that isn't "gsl_set_enemy.gsl". Double check that you copied the correct file from your Xbox hard drive.

Thanks go out to Soly for providing some extra information about GSL files that helped me to double check that I was patching the file correctly.

That's the end of this README; I hope everyone enjoys being able to fight the full spawns in offline Forest and Cave. Don't forget to visit PSO Palace, the home of this patch.
