Change Texture limit in a Game executable

Hello,
ive already tried on a different Forum but there seems to be no one around willing to help, so ill gonna try here.
My Problem is i want to do a Modification for Maxpayne2 with upscaled Textures, i already got it working to hexedit the levels and change Textures but there somewhere a limit it seems from what the Game can load, there was a Mod from MaxPayne1 where the guy found a way around it somehow.
He provided a new exe File that seems to have that changed Code in there, i already compared both exe files and there was a just a small bit Code in there changed, but since im not knowledgeable about that kind of Stuff rly i dont know what that Code does and how i can change it the correct way.

Im pretty sure there will be someone around here who can just figure that out in the matter of some Minutes.
Ill provide the exe Files down below, theres the Original MP1 Exe, the changed one(Remastered) and the one from MaxPayne2 where it needs to be changed.

Thanks in advance

Seems like no one can help with something easy as that..

If it's "easy", do it yourself?

Most of us are busy and don't have time to download a game we don't even play just to modify the textures for a complete stranger that just joined the forum.

Not to mention, not very many people are going to download a random .exe file and run it from a random and untrusted user on a HACKING forum.

Inactive, I don't sell products anymore. Please do not message me.
Just here to occasionally lurk.
Its easy for People who are into that obviously, which i am in Fact not.
Why would you need to download the Game if i provide the exe Files that you can just modify.
And you can just check the files online for Virus before opening them i guess.
Also as you wrote i dont need anyone to change Textures, i need someone who can change that little piece of Code in the exe File to allow it running higher Texture resolutions, which has been done in that one exe file, if i go into it i just see random fckin Numbers, someone who knows what they do can prolly do that in a matter of Minutes, since i provided both exe files where you can search for difference in the Code with program which i already did and then you see a small change which has to be transfered over to the exe from the second Game, pretty much.

None is going to do this for free.
We do need the whole game because there will be a heap of unresolved imports and to properly analyze the application we need all the files.
Providing old files from Max Payne files isn't helpful.
"A small change" can take hours of analysis and work. Changing a single bit in an executable can make all the difference but doesn't mean it only took a short time to find.
You clearly don't understand how reverse engineering work and yes some of us can do it in a matter of minutes doesn't mean we will without reward or a little appreciation.
Ye well we living in capitalism so why should i even try to get help of anyone, guess no one handles Stuff like i do, for free if i can.Whatever just forget about it, i will find someone else somewhere.
