Wow, what a sweet guide. I'll see what happens. Hopefully your fmtx-faker files will help, as I've tried pretty much every config.

edit: still no luck with your preemp and after patching. One thing I notice though... the owner/permissions of my new fmtxd differ from the old one, also, under "type" the new one is "unknown" while the old one is "program".
what chmod or chown command should I use to set it to the proper way?

edit2: So that was the problem. I set each file to allow being executed as a program. Now, the fmtxd is fine

thanks a whole bunch for your time in helping
