Well, you should probably still have a CORE.INI file in your GPL folder....
if not, you can get one at Alison's site or rename the one that's there
(sorry for being unclear, but I can't remember if the patch leaves one
there).
Anyway, what you NEED is not all the online stuff (like net send synch,
etc....). But you DO need the old timing method of GPL 1.0. And this is how
to get it.
Create a text file called CORE.INI (I know you can do this Mea***er because
I've seen your clutch pages :-). Anyway, then add the following line to it
EXACTLY like it is below:
[ Task ]
synch_method = 0 ; Client synch method
what this does is bring the old timing system back (the new one's value is
1). If you only care about offline, then just add this string to your
core.ini and save it. If you want all the goodies, pop over to Alison's
place and get hers.
