HyperOverride Tool (BETA)

17 April 2011 - 06:25 PM

WARNING: Due to the way this program works by hooking dynamically various parts of the game executable in memory, it will be most probably detected as a suspicious file by your Antivirus software. You may have to exclude it from detection in your Antivirus options.

HyperOverride allows the user to optionally and dynamically setup (through game shortcut modification) an additional Override folder.
The content of this additional folder will have priority over the content inside the standard Override folder in case of file conflict.
I initially created this little tool so I could use an EasyTutu installation to play Baldur's Gate II campaign by "hyperOverriding" few files just by starting EasyTutu with a different shortcut. But I guess it can be used for other goals.

HyperOverride has been made and tested for "Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhall US patch 26498", but it should works as well for any Baldur's Gate I or II original or modded versions, and maybe for IceWind Dale too. Obviously -tabtoggle will be useless in Baldur's Gate I, since there is no highlight functionality in this last game.


Install:
-------

- Copy HOLoad.exe, HyperOverride.dll and the HyperOverride folder into your Baldur's Gate II folder (alongside BGMain.exe).

Use:
----

Just launch HOLoad.exe with the following optional parameters:

Load your custom additional override folder. The name needed by the following parameter is just the name of the folder you created inside the HyperOverride folder.
-ho:<folder name>

Turns the (Highlight) TAB key into a toggle.
-tabtoggle

Specify a different executable filename than 'BGMain.exe':
-exe:<filename>

Examples:
---------

HOLoad.exe -ho:Example_MaxAbiRoll -tabtoggle

HOLoad.exe -exe:BGMain2.exe -ho:MyBG1Files
