Hex-Editing/MOFI Editor FAQ

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 10:25 pm

Ask me questions on what things in the editor/Hex-Editing/MOFI stuff confuse you and I'll do my best to answer them (I've got lots of experience behind me with this stuff now).

How do you add things like ZAdjust?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 10:30 pm

Follow these steps:

1. Head to Data\Editor\ObjectPresets
2. Open a .wop file that has ZAdjust with a Hex Editor (Barrel Reg.wop, for example)
3. Look for ZAdjust and the few spaces before it
4. In Hex, tthe few spaces ZAdjust before it should look something like "07 00 00 00". Add this to a different wop file including ZAdjust (MAKE BACKUPS!!!) and it should work.

This is complicated, so you can request .wops for me to modify.

I don't know about that, I've never tried model swapping before. I'll look into it right now.

DP.

So apparently the first thing after the ! in wop files is the model. You can edit that, but it's VERY GLITCHY AND PRONE TO CRASHING. D:>

I just change the model it uses.
eg.
You want a Thwart that has a cuboid model?
Change:
!Thwart
to
!Cuboid

BTW, I'm having trouble with one trick i'm trying with the editor. For some reason the player MAVs when the adventure is started.
Here's the .wa2 file.

NPC Cuboids(?) would crash the game since they need a color parameter for their textures. Either that or broken animations.

Ah, that's the problem.

Where do you insert the characters? Otherwise I gots it.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 11:02 pm

Insert the new characters at the end of the file.

StinkerSquad01 · Post by **StinkerSquad01** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 11:08 pm

IT WORKS! NOW I WILL HAVE COOL GLOVECHARGES!
I plan to make a word doc. with all the adjust you can add to things.
Edit: Can you make it so say, you want a gem at color 8? (for experimental purposes of course)

Hello? *looks outside* Wow its dark.

So many questions about .wops...

I think there was a thing a while back about rainbow gems and stuff.

StinkerSquad01 · Post by **StinkerSquad01** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:05 am

So how do you make it?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:12 am

I think you'll need to use custom textures, the parameters don't support going above 6 for gems as far as I know.

gameboy991 · Post by **gameboy991** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:24 am

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a custom texture for that. Wasn't it for the "Rainbow Shard" or something? That can work for gems as well, right?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:26 am

I believe so.

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:58 am

The trick I tried failed, so It's up to you to see what went wrong.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:59 am

If you're still trying to use the NPC Cuboids, don't. They won't work. They would try to perform animations that they can't.

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 1:02 am

No, I didn't. Play the adventure and see what i did, because I can't explain.
It's best to also open it up in the editor to see what's going on.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 1:06 am

I don't see what's wrong with it.

Explain your problem or I can't help you.

Jozsefkoma gave you a model like that.

I renamed tentacle model and wdf to qmbou to get tentacle... The model looked like tentacle in MOFI but it doesn't act like tentacle

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:38 pm

The model itself is JUST a model. Nothing more.

ZAdjust already exists for gates. Why would you need ZAdjust for buttons to conceal them when we already have invisible buttons?

I'll make ZAdjust for Teleporter/Transporter right now.

Modelswaps are very glitchy and can tend to crash the game. I don't think it would work with signs.
