It works like a memory searcher, but searches computer files instead of processes memory. It works great to hack saved gamestates and savestates. It's still under development thought.

Btw, that's my forum and thought most posts are in spanish english is allowed. New members are welcomed. And I'd prefer bug reports being posted there.

PD: This won't work to hack Starcraft scms or replays because they're compressed. SC saved games are probably also compressed, not sure. Anyway, it works great with emulators gamestates.

I might try this out with Starcraft saved games. It'd be neat if it was possible to edit save games.

Meanwhile, gonna see if I can get 99 Atma weapons for my FF6 game. :P



None.

I'll soon add the features of searching by the last value and inserting cheat codes, until then you can save the search once you have one result to restore it later and be able to change the value again.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
