You just COPY the dat files, and PASTE them into the right directory.

Another way would be by using the good old DOS-prompt... copy *.dat to the right folder, and presto... you're done...

Best regards,

Both the new_wads0110.zip and the angkor.zip contain revised script.dat & english.dat files; the revised_wads0110.zip doesn't, but then again, these don't need new scripts, since they are the old levels you already had...

Best regards,

I read somewhere in the forum that someone has already sent you these files, but I hope you'll realize now that you should always keep the original zip-archives safe when working with project-files such as these... Always backup, backup, backup!

Best of luck,
