If anyone can provide further insights into hex edits of the EXE, please do!
Also if anyone can help me in emulating the look of the MACOS version of the graphics, that would be extremely helpful.
(and better yet get me ripped art assets from the mac versions if that is at all possible)
I'm thinking of providing four versions of this.
One with fixed and tweaked post-2.0 graphicsOne with fixed and tweaked pre-2.0 graphics
and two with MACOS style graphics before and after version 2.0

This mod has changed goals. It no longer has simplified graphics akin to the NES. It now focuses purely on providing a fully patched and optimized version of EXILE with a Win9x style interface.
Maybe later on I'll add a version with those NES style graphics I made again but not anytime soon.

I have every PC version of the EXILE series I could find all pre-registered, pre-installed and in a convenient 7z file.
File:
https://www32.zippyshare.com/v/4Asgjkbu/file.html
Missing EXILE 1.0, EXILE 2 1.0.1, EXILE 3 1.0.
If anyone can find any of those versions please contact me. These versions need to be preserved.
If under modern windows download OTVDM and put it somewhere permanent
then within the OTVDM folder run install or install (no console).
Then run the EXILE EXEs and they should pop up no problem.

I've been working on a custom version of EXILE.
This version is a sort of best of both worlds between 1.1-2.0 andthe versions before the major changes.
It's a registered 1.03 with tweaked sprites from 1.1 onward,
various graphics from 1.0B, and a revamped UI mimicking Win95.
This is experimental so you might run into issues.
I haven't tested it as thoroughly as I would like.Screenshots:

Oh I know. What I meant by "meant for" is what this port was meant for in the sense that most people who played this port back in the day played it under Win95/98. So what I did was I made all the buttons have a Win9x feel to them like how the actual OS would display them. (If they weren't just parts of a bitmap of course)
-
I did change the terrain graphics quite a bit. I got rid of a lot of the extra "clutter" in the textures, but yeah I changed mostly the UI elements so that it felt more cohesive to the Win9x kind of environment it was meant for.

This is a fully patched version of EXILE with fixed graphics and OTVDM in mind.

2.0 PC Style

(I'm in the process of adding EXILE 3's terrain.)
2.0 MACOS Style:https://www13.zippyshare.com/v/DGMmN8zH/file.html
First attempt at emulating the look of the MACOS version.
Made by decreasing brightness by 70 and increasing contrast by 20.
The EXEs included are hex edited.
The pre-2.0 version will be worked on after I'm finished making the base version.
I'm in the process of doing similar work for EXILE2.

If under modern windows download OTVDM and put it somewhere permanentthen within the OTVDM folder run install or install (no console).
Then run EXILE.EXE and enjoy.
Changes:
Added PC Status Icons
Thrown Missile Skill works as intended
Fixed various problems with the original bitmaps
Removed registry related text
BUTTONS.BMP redesign
Applied a Win9x style to every button in-game
Applied a Win9x style to every window in-game
Applied a Win9x style layout to STARTMSC.BMP
(The "Win9x" style merely makes EXILE's design cohere more
to the way it's window and UI will look using OTVDM.)
Used a different font with anti-aliasing on STARTMSC.BMP
Optimized every bitmap
Changelog:
1.1
Made the "FOW" tile seamlessly into the background.
Added BOE's sprites
(Replacing with EXILE 3's sprites later. They just look slightly better to my eyes.)
1.2
Removed redundant elements
Reverted to EXILE 1's sprites until the rework.

Please make another link I used this in the past and now it's gone! Please help.
EXILE unofficial patch and graphics overhaul

Yeah it's still available. I haven't had time to work on it in a little while but I'm releasing a new build of it sometime.
Zippyshare seems to not work for some people though, you might have to try a vpn like the one in the Opera browser as it's free and you only need to trick Zippyshare into thinking you are somewhere else.
