[2016-4-19. : 7:14 am] Neiv -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: http://pastebin.com/H6Xy3abV Is this bad design? I feel like it probably is, but I can't think of a better/easier way to overwrite lots of pointers with the same data. Ew, that's ugly D: Though I don't really see any clearly better way of doing that [2016-4-19. : 7:14 am]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- so it just says flingy has 7 values, so it starts at [0] and replaces all the pointers it finds with the new address for the speed array until it reads a 0, then it starts replacing all the addresses it finds with the new address for the accel array, etc.[2016-4-19. : 7:12 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Clokr_Clokr_ shouted: and you got hardcoded how many for speed, how many for accel, etc, oh, do you mean how it knows how long each list is? They're 0-terminated[2016-4-19. : 7:11 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- ya, those are the pointers to the respective arrays in SC's code that I will replace with pointers to my own, larger arrays[2016-4-19. : 7:09 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- flingy.dat has 7 values, so there are 7 lists in flingy_r[2016-4-19. : 7:08 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- so like the array of flingy.dat sprite values, the flingy.dat acceleration values, etc.[2016-4-19. : 7:08 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- those are the pointers to the flingy.dat value arrays to be replaced with the new pointer to the new array[2016-4-19. : 7:07 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- 406 pointers that will all be replaced with the same value, which is why I'm doing it how I did [2016-4-19. : 7:05 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- also units.dat will be crazy, because it has like 1400 or so pointers to replace [2016-4-19. : 7:04 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- a few are known values, and they're in a format sort of like that[2016-4-19. : 7:04 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- because I'm replacing them with unknown values, and there are tons of offsets that need the same values[2016-4-19. : 7:03 am]  Clokr_ -- Why not just a big list of type: offset, nbytestoreplace, byte1, byte2, byte3, ...[2016-4-19. : 7:01 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- also what's going on is just massive lists of pointers to overwrite [2016-4-19. : 7:00 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I liked it better as like 0x0049906B+2, but it got mad at me for that[2016-4-19. : 6:57 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I did it because it was easier, but then the compiler yelled at me for having a number followed immediately by a + saying invalid suffix or something[2016-4-19. : 6:57 am] Clokr_ -- Not really sure what is going on, but let me tell you: those commas without white spaces look awful...[2016-4-19. : 6:46 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- http://pastebin.com/H6Xy3abV Is this bad design? I feel like it probably is, but I can't think of a better/easier way to overwrite lots of pointers with the same data. [2016-4-19. : 6:42 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I should put all the arrays in a different file or something. This is getting kind of crazy [2016-4-19. : 6:41 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I didn't know what to call the increase in flingy ID size[2016-4-19. : 6:41 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- // Currently no configuration; hardcoded ! dats[FLINGY_DAT].newEntries = 219; dats[FLINGY_DAT].doPatch = true; doThingyExpand = true;[2016-4-19. : 6:40 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- It compiles and runs, but I haven't enabled those patches yet[2016-4-19. : 6:40 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I did most of sprites and images on Saturday, today was just finishing up a bit of code[2016-4-19. : 6:37 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I havent' tested sprites or images at all. Sprites will probably work as well as flingy, images will probably not work. [2016-4-19. : 6:35 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- 12:30, and I just finished adding some entries to my images.dat patching arrays, and the code to apply the patches [2016-4-19. : 6:33 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- cool. Well I didn't get much done, but at least I didn't do nothing [2016-4-19. : 6:33 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- oh cool, and other numbers I didn't know appear to just be the line number or whatever to some storm calls[2016-4-19. : 6:28 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- ya, I'll just do and eax,0 / add eax,(number). Then I don't need to add more arrays/pointers/code [2016-4-19. : 6:21 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I keep trying to make easy way to list where to replace and with what, but all I've ended up with is a ton of really awkward arrays [2016-4-19. : 6:19 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I can fill it with NOP, or I can do and 0 / add new count [2016-4-19. : 6:12 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Making everything available to both seems the better, more stable option[2016-4-19. : 6:08 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I've noticed. I think it's usually ternary operators, I read something about that when I had really confusing code like this (but moreso) before[2016-4-19. : 6:07 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- So I'll increase the F4. Or should I just make it always the new number? xD[2016-4-19. : 6:07 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- ya, it's doing neg EAX / and EAX,F4 / Add 2F3. So it's the one you said[2016-4-19. : 6:05 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- The part that was confusing though is it is AND that number + 2F3[2016-4-19. : 6:04 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- That makes a lot of sense. since 999-the first one gives 755, which is the first twilight doodad sprite[2016-4-19. : 6:02 am] Neiv -- Wild guess: Maybe they are amount of images in sc and amount of images added in bw[2016-4-19. : 6:01 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I found some functions where there were two constants that added up to 3E7, but I couldn't figure out what for ;o[2016-4-19. : 5:59 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I found the function, but the most I looked at it was "yup, there's a 3E7" *copy+paste address"[2016-4-19. : 5:58 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- It's something like that, I just didn't figure out how it was generated (but I also didn't look that much in to it)[2016-4-19. : 5:58 am] Neiv -- 005240D0 ? I think it decided how many different "burning states" the building has[2016-4-19. : 5:56 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- i dunno what the building overlay array is, I just know it's there [2016-4-19. : 5:56 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- for images I got the grp array, all 6 lo? arrays, and the building overlay thing array |
