Need some help patching (new)

[Jack Bauer]

I am trying to do some patching (obviously). I did an svn checkout on a folder in my desktop and I pasted all of my patches in there (i think that that is where I was supposed to put them) so I do
patch -p0 < patchname in this case was...chat_bubble.patch I think and I get this error

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:whats the deal?
Also, I couldnt find an ESD patch at MG is there one somewhere?
EDIT: Foundn and ESD patch but get the first error about hunks failing.

The failing thing means the source you are trying to patch is too different from what the patch was expecting.
If it's an old patch you probably have to do it by hand.

The malformed one means your patch file is dud.  Maybe it downloaded wrong or has been truncated?

The final ones means you need to use -p1 or -p2 instead of -p0.
