Changes OfB Patch 1 to FFS (EP3p1 > SP1) | Now with Patch diffings from SP1p1

I used Pescado's hack diffing tool to create the following list:

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I don't know if these are supposed to be industry standards or if these are symbols that are used by similar diff tools but I think they mean the following:

!	means something changed between the previous EP and the new EP (or in this case SP)
+	means something that was added/new
B	means it's a BHAV
O	means it's an object?
o	means it's an object?
S	means it's a string/text
p	means it's a pie menu function/string
C	means it's a BCON

Your report probably did not include the patch for SP1 did it?

Also... it looks like there are actual changes to some existing BHAVs in OFB. I wonder if these actually fixed anything or if there were minor changes to format or something.

Some of the changes include the Restock Sign and the NPC - Template for Servo.

Jordi, have you noticed any improvements with respect to some of those changes? Could these actually be bug fixes? I still haven't installed FFS and I don't know if I want to chance it.

Btw, for anyone interested, these are the groups that were changed:

0x7F0136DC - LotTransitionGlobals
0x7F905E60 - Shops_RestockSign
0x7FC03E4B - NPC_Template_Servo
0x7FD3F80F - Helicopter ( seems to be the carpool vehicle, which I think was further changed in the FFS patch - see below )
0x7FDE81DC - CashRegisterGlobals
0x7F327BCE - BookCaseGlobals
0x7F66753A - DisplayRackClothingValueDresses
0x7F78DB89 - DisplayRackClothingValue
0x7F8157FB - DisplayRackClothingExpensive
0x7F83B6BD - Display_Business_Euro
0x7F9EEB81 - Fridge_Cheap
0x7FA981B1 - Display_Business_Intl
0x7FAB1298 - DisplayRackClothingExpensiveDresses
0x7FD73C8F - Chair_Salon
0x7FE066DD - InGameHelpController
0x7FFD6D58 - BusinessRewards

Since I haven't installed FFS, I wouldn't be able to see what the specific changes were.

Also... according to the official site info on the FFS patch:

Complete list of changes:

    * Family Fun Stuff clothing assets will no longer disappear after creating a Sim with them in Create-a-Sim.
    * Fixed object error that occurred when both the helicopter and nanny car arrived on family lot at the same time.

So... I would assume that the helicopter was changed again.

It's high Elven.

So that would be Quenya and not Sindarin?

The truth of the matter is that it's not really relevant what it says, it's primarily intended for machine-reading, not for you to read.

I don't have FFS yet. I'm waiting for the inevitable price drop to a reasonable level. Looks like it's a downpatch though: some of the changes above are the reverse of OFB->OFB P1.

This makes sense given that the FFS codebase was obviously taken from OFB prior to the OFB patch, they apparently haven't rolled in all the changes. I wonder if the FFS patch includes them?

[Fat D]

i believe O is OBJd, o is OBJF, P is TTAB and p is TTAs, but not sure.

I think for a machine-read format this is pretty Human-compatible.

[syberspunk]

Ahh. Heh. I just assumed you had it since you responded. I forgot that you posted the hide ffs outfits without having it yet. For some reason, I thought you had posted this thread in the first place. Well if FatD, or anyone for that matter, has installed the patch for FFS and would be so kind as to redo the diff and post a new file. I'd appreciate it.

I am currently diffing EP3p1 against SP1p1 ans SP1p1 against SP1p0. results will be attached when ready

EDIT:
It seems that the patch changed more than the entire pack. Most changes are in the pie menu strings, I suppose they take out the comments or something like that. about 5/6 of the TTAs were changed.

files attached:
1) diffing from first post with systematic name
2) diffing of the actual patch
3) diffing of the patched game against OfB (patched)
