Thank you both very much... one small step further towards cli guruhood |
| 29 |
(I've heard of touch, but that's about all I could say about it, until now). |

FWIW, the problem actually was that the file dates were too recent; as |
| 32 |
soon as I copied over the same-original-but-older-timestamp files to the |
| 33 |
game directory (because I did that before you guys told me about touch) |
| 34 |
and fired up the game, all of a sudden, the new textures from the |
| 35 |
plugin(s) were visible (overriding the original as they were supposed to). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So I'm happy to know that there's a much easier way to do it, while I |
| 38 |
wait to see if anyone has more help on the liflg forums than what I've |
| 39 |
got so far :-) . |

Thanks again. |
