Getting firefight to work on win7

Firefight's a game made by chaos works, in 1996

Surprisingly it works on windows 7 with little effort, and without the need to use windows compatibility mode

After a little debugging, the reason it doesn't run on windows 7 (both LOADER.EXE and FIREFGHT.EXE) is because of a bug in the program using SetWindowsHookExA with thread id as null

The bug doesn't manifest itself under win98

The thread id value is filled after this call instead of before it

I didn't dig deeper into this, this probably changed after win98
from msdn: "An error may occur if the hMod parameter is NULL and the dwThreadId parameter is zero"

there's also a small cd check in FIREFGHT.EXE, patching this makes the game work

I've uploaded the patched files here, if you need them

ps.

if you want to get this game, you could probably find it on the internet somewhere
if not, send me an email
