Hello:

A group of modders (MekTek) have been making upgrades over the last few years to a now antiquated Mechwarrior 4 Mercs. The most recent upgrade MekPak 3, rendered all trainers for the game useless. They claimed that they have Merc Shield (which supposedly blocks all trainers) now loaded into the release, but I had spoken with someone who was able to get unlimited jumpjets working, so I know even though they claim it is unhackable, that the game is still hackable.

Unfortunately, I have tried to make a trainer on my own using CE, but due to myself being incredibly inexperienced with this. I am not having much success at all.

These are the things I was hoping to get:

(1) Unlimited tonnage on mechs (which was what I was working on to no avail)
(2) Unlimited Jumpjets
(3) Allow all electonics on all mechs

I went through the tutorial and was able to complete it, but I cannot even find the correct value when it comes to #1. The best I got was multiple values that matched it, but even freezing all of them did nothing.

If anyone can make the trainer, that's fine, but if anyone can help me make the trainer, I wouldn't mind doing the work or trying to learn at all.

EDIT: Actually, I had another question. When I went to select the process, there were two MW4MERCS.exe, and MW4MERCS.ICD. The .exe didn't seem to be the right one, as the .ICD had the values. can anyone explain why this would be?

Thanks.

I tried to find the value the best way I could think of.

I am assuming it is a float value because the Current Tonnage is values like 34.50, 29.70. However, I noticed the actual values will sometimes be 17.89 but read 17.90. I decided to search simple by change / uncheange over increase / decrease.

Eventually I am left with 8 values that seem to stay the same. Two values reflect the number that the Current Tonnage is. Whenever I try to set those values at 0, the other 6 numbers change, so I figure they are related to the other two somehow. I have tried different combinations of freezing, but nothing seems to effect the game, and the numbers immediately jump back to what they really are.

I took a screen of what I am seeing in case it could help.

I hope I am making some sense - I really am trying to figure this out. IF any one can at least help me from here, I'd be appreciative.

Thanks

Hi... by reading your post I know that I'm much less experienced
compared to you. But I have something in my mind that probable be a
help...

I guess you were targeting the wrong place by focusing on TOTAL mech's
tonnage...

So here's my idea:
What if you move your focus on each mech's parts available ?
Let's say if you find the code which reads the weight of each mech part,
then modify it to whatever the original weights are, set them to ZERO...
Logicaly, this will give you unlimited tonnage...

I don't know if that would work since I don't play the game at all...
But I think it's worth to try...
