League of Legends Patches

I am attempting to install League of Legends on my Mac running Mac OS X Lion using wine v1.3.35. There is a guide in the AppDB on how to do it but it requires patching wine. I know the command being "patch -p1 < patch_name.diff", but the links that are given in the guide lead to screens with text. How do I use that to make a .diff file so I can patch it with wine. I tried to copy the text into a text file and then change the extension from .txt to .diff, but that just gave me error messages when I tried to use it with the patch command. Sorry if this is a simple question, I am pretty good with computers, but this is my first Mac so I am not sure if there is something I am not aware of that I need to do.

I always save those patches right from the browser, but not as .diff. I just save them as somefile.patch and then place them in the directory of Wine that I want to compile and run patch -p1 < somefile.patch. You should also issue this command after patching is completed ./tools/make_requests.

If you ever want to revert changes made by patching just run patch -Rp1 < somefile.patch and compile that Wine.
