Well after monkeying with From's patches, I can't get into the actual game anymore. Some bug with som_db.exe 
I will try your setup next I guess. I know that DoM does use a number of add-ons available on John's site but not available on From's site. It is dumb the way From chose to number all the files rather than give them proper names.
I'm pretty burned out with it for now. I better get back to working on slightly more practical problems. I gave it an honest shot, but kinda ended on a sour note so far.
We definitely need tutorials (and not necessarily of the basic kind) given the general obfuscation of SoM.
On the plus side, all those extra tools should make cracking the formats relatively easy.
I'm sure I could turn out some quick and easy applets, but MFC etcetera I really am no good for. I do have an old one executable project I could probably jerry rig into a temporary all in one tool in short order (in the same vain as the add-on tools that is)
