UNSOLVED QUESTIONS:
Does anyone know how to edit memory locations in VB? I used a hex editor and found many values for stats and stuff in a GCD file and can whip up a GCD editor in less than a week if I knew how.

It would be much help if the source for Falche or Save game cracker was available. Does anyone know if it is?

I am all for it!!!! Hmm, why don't you contact those who made Falche?

 

[Xavierblazer]

I tried, but yahoo says it doesnt exist or it cant access it or something.

 

[Carib FMJ]

Looks pretty helpful. Great work, can't wait to try it out when it is ready?

 

[Xavierblazer]

Judging by my last works, probably in 2016

But im motivated this time by the fact that VB makes much much more sense then the fallout scripting language. Nothing has gone horribly wrong yet too.

 

[Xavierblazer]

Desision time. Should I try to recreate the FO character screen, or make it plain and simple, but usefull

 

[Morpoggel]

Well, it would be cool to have an editor that looks just like the FO character screen...

Although I am also a fan of things with as much buttons and thingamajigs possible... *puts the Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 cd in his computer*

 

[feelingxbroken]

It would be pretty neat to have an editor look like the actual character screen. Perhaps you could have the same basic look, but tweak it a little to make it slightly simpler.

 

[Xavierblazer]

Eeeewwww

This will take some work

lots of work


Oh, and happy 1 year and 15 day aniversary at nma to me

 

[feelingxbroken]

What game is this going to be for or will it be for both 1 and 2? You didn't already say did you?

 

[Xavierblazer]

*image moved*

made all important things in first post

 

[Xavierblazer]

all I need is the formuas for calculating these and it will function exactly like in the game:

poison resistance
damage resistance
radiation resistance
sequence

 

[Nekid]

Radiation and Poison get changed by armour and perks, but initial is:
poison: 5*endurance
rad: 2*endurance
Sequence: 2*perception

is that what you are looking for?

 

[Xavierblazer]

yes. Thank you.

There you go.

Please report anything I missed or any errors in my equations or something.




KNOWN PROBLEMS:

Traits dont actually do anything because ive been too busy(lazy) to open the game up and record what they do.

None of the things you click on except for strength shows their proper description for the reason mentioned above

You cant open or save or nothing

 

[dvukomanovic]

Wow, exit button works!
Keep going...

 

[Xavierblazer]

thats all that works?

 

[dude_obj]

Save is a rather important feature hehe.

 

[Xavierblazer]

Save is rather complicated feature that I dont know how to do yet

but im trying. Maybe in 1.1

 

[jargo]

Yes and sometimes open comes handy too.
But seriously, you need to read and save by byte in file.
This can be done in windows by winAPI or some internal call like(BlockRead,Read,Write etc), you can make a winapi call from VB don't you(microsoft platform and all)?
