Re: Back to the source: ReDMCSB

WOW. Had a quick look around. I'll do more for sure. THANKS for sharing what you know. That original game, for me, was and is a timeless classic.

THANKS!

Re: Saved Game Editing

Aye, well, one persons cheating is another persons tinkering with bytes and words and op codes and stuff :) I will share with you what I know so far: When you find the offset for the "Live Health" Stat ( Per Character ), then the following offsets are other points of note. Offsets in decim...

Re: Saved Game Editing

Zoom, I cracked open CE for the sheer fun of it. ( I realise that there are MUCH easier ways to get status up in RTC ). It's a great tool. It's more a cracking tool, I'd say, than just a cheat engine, but it can be used any way. I found out that the values for health, mana etc are stored as 32Bit In...

Re: Saved Game Editing

My goodness. That is so very exciting! Thanks. You're a star. And such a quick response. I was hoping to get some AJAX programming in before you got back to me...but now...pah...off down the Dungeon to eat some Dragons :)

Again, many thanks :)

Re: Saved Game Editing

Zoom, that's an interesting program. Made me think of attaching Visual Studio to the process and debugging it there. I got access to the assembler that way. Very good. Still, i did not hack it in the end. I just played it till i completed it. And I just did that!!! Nice! Never done that before. Grea...

Re: Releasing RTC source code / future of RTC.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say that RTC would not be where it is without our help. I understand that this gives me no rights over how the game is developed and released, but I do feel it's a shame that (a) our significant contributions have not really been recognised and (b) RTC bugs preven...

Re: Saved Game Editing

LOL. Three points of view in three paragraphs. So aye, depending on how you read it, GG has to make the code avail to all of us, or stop using the libs that he's using ( assuming they are GPL'd ). Then again, that's "view 3" LOL I'm not arguing for it here, but if he's breaking the "l...

Re: Saved Game Editing

Ah, I suppose that depends on which license the "open-source" elements are released under. As if they are bundled with the work, and it was the GPL and not the LGPL, as far as I understand it, for talking sake, then it would legally have to be released. Personally I can't understand the ra...

Re: Saved Game Editing

Ah, you are a real Dungeon Master. Hats off. Shame that George can't find a way to cleave the open source-able bits from the closed ones. Could be a nice project. Of all the clones I've seen so far, this one looks the best. There is one other one that I've my eye on, so we'll see what happens. I lik...

Re: Saved Game Editing

Tis a shame, for sure, that the cat didn't release it under the GPL. I have in mind an internet version, where each human takes two characters. The "remote" client only sends in events about control / interactions, the "server" does the game world and send the results back. I see...

Re: Saved Game Editing

(( Return To Chaos Comment, I should have added before )) If my initial look at the save game is correct, then it seems that our good friend uses a crypto algorithm ( of some sort ) to dump out the data, as opposed to just raw data, as between two very similar saves ( in time ) every single byte had...

Re: Saved Game Editing

Hey :) Thanks for the reply. Interesting take on things. I was just about to set about two similar files with a hex editor and hope that our good friend did not copy the CRC check that was in the original file ( or seemed to be when I was tinkering with it back then ). I take your point about starti...

Saved Game Editing

Hi, I'm very sorry to ask this, but I'm working my characters up in the usual way, but you know, that takes yonks and yonks. Lovely work.It's great to explore and stuff, but I'd just like to be able to pump their levels up a wee bit, to save me hours of my life clicking buttons. I have already spent...
