 |
|
The game is an old one call Redmoon from around the year 1999.
What are some common ways to force a game to run in a window?
What is a way to make the game generate the 2d effects if it is in the background?
(If the game runs in background it appears frozen, when you bring the game up again all the models move at x10 speed until the ?timer? catches up.)
I found the HP max and HP current value. I then looked for the pointer to the HP current and what accesses it. After the 2nd level, I was lead back to the 2nd level pointer. I could not find the 3rd. The reason I need the static address is to trace what interacts with it to hopefully find a god-mode or heal bug.
Some info about the games main.dll that was released:
The offset is 0x00011C29. Change 74 to 75 and you should have auto run and have to hold ALT to walk. This works, but I would like to know how. How does changing a 74 to a 75 do this?
The offset 0x00003A17: I cannot find this offset, its outdated.
Value 00 Windowed
Value 01 Full Screen

I presume you mean a DX based game, so you can use this tool Dxwnd.
Sorry aparently they dont have a official site anymore

as has already been said, try dxwnd, but the game is really old.

in these cases it's best to read the raw code. If you can't, post a snippet of the lines preceding the actual instruction you traced, and we'll try to help

that's because by doing that you're changing the lowest bit of the byte at +11C2C from 0 to 1. It's some sort of isRunning flag.

Being unable to find an offset is kind of strange. What do you mean by "finding" an offset?

I tried dxwnd, nothing. The game runs a small server selector before it runs the actual game. Maybe this could be interfering

I attached an image of the HPmin/max dynamic addresses and where they appear in the debugger. I could not find the static address as the pointer starts to point to itself. Also there are 2 pointers to the HPmin value and those are dynamic as well.
SBB is Integer Subtraction with Borrow. I'm guessing because I found the value by equipping and unequipping items that increase HP relatively it found this opcode, maybe the HP is stored somehow differently. Because you cannot increase HP directly, you need to increase Power which increases your HP. Also the value is always hidden, your HP is displayed simply as a bar.
The print screen did not capture it but the game was run with olly attached, so its the correct dynamic address.
P.S. By HPmin I meant current HP

By offset I meant address. I found it at 3A16 and changed it. But the window is blacked out. Sound is working. Attached an image also.
