how do i extract them? i read there used in dos patches/updates... and the one i want to extract contains the dungeon keeper 2 update... windows doesnt like the setup .exe which leaves me with just opening the rtp file... i got the patch from file planet.

rtp files are just data containing the bytes changed/added... they don't have the full file inside , unless a new one is added to the game... so unless u can get the rtp engine running, u are basically boned...
and how do i update my files with the updated info situated in the rtp file? how do i start the rtp engine? is there a windows xp compliant version? i just wanna update dungeon keeper 2 (which is a windows game) but the patcher is a 16 bit install file which aint gonna run... so i need a method of extracting/installing the rtp file.

theres bound to be another method somewhere.... most old compression/encryption algorithms have already been reverse engineered and extractors have been released etc... why would one for this seemingly "popular" type of file go without any 3rd party support?

I will rephrase it...
rtp files are not archives containing whole files inside.
they contain byte patches (similar to cracks)
so it is a little difficult and without a point to make a 3rd party software to handle these files. ur best shot is another pc.
maybe send it to me? I might be able to help you...

keropi - if I understand you correctly, then those RTP files are a kind of binary diff's that is applied to the unpatched / original files.
Why would it be difficult and without a point to make a program to read the RTP files, and convert them into a format that some other binary patchar can handle?
thanks very much zup the first link seems to have what i want 😁 i knew that somewhere out there there would be something of what i was after.... cause its like saying theres no need for winrar or 7-zip or anything cause winzip does the same thing (just different algorithm)

its not that easy finding copies of RTPatcher... but ill look around for one and no it aint a corrupted patch... also i got that weird error when trying to run the 16-bit RTPatcher patch.exe file... so its a bug in my system relating to 16 bit stuff... and ive looked on the MS website and they only talk about replacing autoexec.nt and config.nt etc.... which aint helping as i got thos in there original unaltered forms.

the DK2 patch worked after i reinstalled windows -.-' so it seems that prior to reinstalling windows there indeed WAS a problem in my 16bit subsystem somewhere and had no clue as to where.

Yesterday I downloaded an update for heroes of might & magic II. It uses rtpatch v. 4.00 for Windows. It was located on www.patches-scrolls.de, so you can download and get a patch.exe program.
I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
