Warcraft 2 Expansion:Beyong the Dark Portal
Patch 1.33

This patch fixes a 'bug' in 1.3 which caused it to be inconpatible with 
games saved with previous versions of Warcraft 2.  Specifically the AI 
would get a little 'funny' because internal pointers were off.  
BDP version 1.33 will now READ and WRITE games that are compatible with 
earlier versin of Warcraft 2.  This means that games saved with 1.3 are 
NOT compatible with 1.33!  You must convert your saved games to the correct 
format by using the SAVEFIX utility.

Ex.

    SAVEFIX save1.sav

This will adjust the AI pointers to the correct positions.  You only need to
do this once.  The SAVEFIX utility will not allow you to 'fix' a saved game
more than once.  Do NOT SAVEFIX games saved with versions other than 1.3,
SAVEFIX cannot tell the differance and will corrupt the AI pointers!  As
always, backup your saves before messing with them.

This patch also includes a new version of the Warcraft 2 Map Editor.  The
editor now supports the use of the Orc Swamp tileset.  Maps saved with the
Orc Swamp era will appear as the Wasteland era on version previous to 1.33.

The map editor also allows you to place Beyond the Dark Portal heroes on a
map.  Maps saved with heroes cannot be used on versions previous to 1.33.
There is a new option in the Edit menu to change all heroes to their normal
counterparts if you want to quickly remove the heroes from a map.

This version of the map editor will work with the data from previous versions 
of Warcraft 2.  All new features will be disabled when the editor detects
data previous to 1.33.
