WOP Request - Modified Shard

md · Post by md » Sat Jan 15, 2011 7:53 pm

I had an idea for a modified 'Shard'.

There's a single object called 'Shard' (that isn't included with gems), and the colour adjustment can go from 0-15. There are also three new adjustments:

DestLevel:
DestX:
DestY:

That's where you'll warp to when you use the shard. DestLevel - The 'Level' you'll warp to. DestX - X location. DestY - Y location. That makes it easier for us so we can easily make shard teleportation!

No, That won't work at all.
The teleportation of shards is hardcoded into the game.

It may work if someone finds out how to hex edit the 'wg' file with a hex editor so it would follow and find the 3 'destionation' adjustments with the shards.

Except doing that with hex-editing is impossible, because that'd be adding code to the game itself. Doing that would cause the game to not launch, so we can't do that (even if we could, it's illegal to reverse-engineer the game, which is what we'd be doing).

The only thing we could do - and it might not even be possible itself - would be hex'ing the destinations themselves.

I thought we revese engineered MOFI for Hubs, must be wrong...

It's difficult, but not impossibe?

No, because the programming for it already exists in the executable. Using programming that's otherwise unused is possible if you know what you're doing, adding code is too, but not in Hex.

If we're using plain Hex, it's impossible for multiple technical reasons. If we had a complete disassembly of the game's code, it'd be easier, but you'd still have to know what you're doing.
