Yeah. I know. But what i can do to it?

Hacking (English verb to hack, singular noun a hack) refers to the re-configuring or re-programming of a system to function in ways not facilitated by the owner, administrator, or designer. The term(s) have several related meanings in the technology and computer science fields, wherein a "hack" may refer to a clever or quick fix to a computer program problem, or to what may be perceived to be a clumsy or inelegant (but usually relatively quick) solution to a problem (see also "kludge").

May I kindly ask for a stand alone Bearing to AOB mod? DD's in RFB are 'domestic' enough (for me at least).

Thanks Nicholas for your unofficial patch! I was always frustrated about ai destroyers. Yeah it's fun to have them chase you and thrilling trying to outmanoeuver them, but after a while, it gets irritating when you can't even get close to a convoy or task force to make an attack.

Yes. It's not hard at all.

Your quote looks to be taken directly from Wikipedia. Further down the same page, Wiki also says (about the word "hack"):
Quote:
The term has since acquired an additional and now more common meaning, since approximately the 1980s; this more modern definition was initially associated with crackers. This growing use of the term "hack" is to refer to a program that (sometimes illegally) modifies another program, often a computer game, giving the user access to features otherwise inaccessible to them.
... and also:
Quote:
Companies take different attitudes towards such practices, ranging from open acceptance (such as Texas Instruments for its graphing calculators and Lego for its Lego Mindstorms robotics gear) to outright hostility (such as Microsoft's attempts to lock out Xbox hackers or the DRM routines on Blu-ray Disc players designed to sabotage compromised players).
But Wikipedia has this to say about the word "patch":
Quote:
Programmers publish and apply patches in various forms. Because proprietary software authors withhold their source code, their patches are distributed as binary executables instead of source. This type of patch modifies the program executable—the program the user actually runs—either by modifying the binary file to include the fixes or by completely replacing it.
So, you be the judge ... it's your mod. Which definition does it best fit?

A good intended strange fix.

It's not really a patch. The executable file remains the same, this program hooks into the running process and modifies it. This program is a "hack" by definition. Not in the incorrect "crack" sense, but in the older sense.

Default The file is unavailable!

The file you are attempting to download is not currently available on our servers or is being processed. Please try your download in a few minutes.

I have tried for days but still to no avail, can't you upload it on this server?

I really want to try this fix, please.


Thankx in advance!
