The Logic Factory probably asked Abandonia for stopping the Ascendancy Download,
for bringing the Deal with the AppStore on its Way as exclusive Product,
Yes.

and so every modified File would probably be deleted by Abandonia.
No. As long as all you upload is the modded file, it's OK - they are useless if someone doesn't already have the game.

But you should have visited the Ascend00.COB FIRST, and THEN tell yours...
the Ascend01 and Ascend02.COB are completely encoded Data Files,
The COB format is itself a file system containing the actual data files. When editing it, you probably saw a bunch of weird symbols early in the file - that was raw binary data describing the locations of the files inside the COB.

that must be a modern day miracle, cause i played that already, and it kicked
my ass like i modded it in, Dude... but yes.
Then it is a minor miracle indeed. All it would take to mess things up is Notepad reading or saving a character or two wrong (been there, done that; using Notepad for editing something that is not plaintext is a bad idea) or merely changing the length of any file inside the COB by a single byte.

That COBExtractor did nothing, only to write a Text-Editor Notation, which
Files it found in 01 and 02.COB... and that i knew already by only reading them.
It seems you need to create directories named ascend00 ascend01 and ascend02 first. For some reason the program is unable to create them by itself.
