All files are uncompressed !!! That is very important.

As far as i can remeber i update manualy all tribes 2 files.
Binary-delta files are unpacked in the tmp directory.
Fortunately Loki uses standard xdelta patches.
Just search file and delta-file, then update it with help of xdelta.
I cannot remember count of files , whitch must be updated.
I hope thah is single file. Just copy over simple game
data files.

Similar You can update Heroes III , which have only one
file for update.

You must have xdelta.
That is dirty hack, which may be explained in the lqfag
as sequence of commands.
