AMIgaBot Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 we know some stuff on campagin files. why we shouldnt focus on skirmisghh??? i think we should because skirmish hacking can reveal some interessing things. we will be unable to recover special settings but we atleast could manipulate units. we must know exac value where skirmish units are standing. then find code of it. find code of buldings and replace.. how the modes works?campaginexample mission ordos 9 map 2 crates offworms highai 5.random color: noai settingsevents active:yesevents amount 5event type: reinforcementsskirmishcrates on/offworms none/light /medium/highai 5 (with modifying practice uil we have 7 ai)random color: onai settingsevents active: yesevents amount 1event type normalthis may looks the config. not sure really how it works but there must be somewhere control panel to allow you switch game mode because campagin game mode is with prebuild base, skirmish has none of these. its matter of time when we re-enable that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvi Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Gruntlord6, the question is when you're lying on your deathbed, and your life is flashing before your eyes surely you want the memory of memory editing Dune 2000 to be there? Surely? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMIgaBot Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 before i do change to files i use memory editor. thats point. also causing game to crash is a quite good way to find mechanics. but msot errors are almost same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCHyper Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, i must say im really sorry about the lack of updates...Some progress was made a while ago with this, but i turned to Red Alert to try and fix this, but i failed again...Ill keep trying what i can, but its a pain in the ass, and perhaps someone with a little more time might just find the key to this that i have been missing.

D2k Sardaukar Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I tried to search some stuff about hooks in google, but there is not much. I thought perhaps you guys could use hooks to edit resolution or edit stuff in game.Are hooks (on DUNE2000.dat) easy to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 No more difficult than hooks on an exe, the dat file is essentially an exe just without an entry point. Dat files are designed to be run by an exe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I ran dune2000.exe with depends.exe program, it hooks a little and shows the used .dll's and what happens, but all I got were screen updates (I think). Nothing in-game. Perhaps because the commands of dune2000 are to specific for that program.Do you guys know a program to see what changes happen to the .dat (or .exe) program when loaded in memory. If (for example) I press very often on build than cancel than build, than cancel etc. for 10 times, you might find those commands/byte changes back into the log from memory changes in the .dat/.exe file, right?Eventually it would be nice to make a hook that when it senses that you press shift+build it will put auto 5 units to build. Making one infantry at the time is just too slow. :)I tried to edit the LAUNCHER.CFG file, but it looks like it only accepts one command for RUN. I could start the calculator with dune2000.exe :D But it would be nicer to run dune2000.dat and the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 As far as I'm aware all Dune 2000.exe does is check to see whether it needs an update, so you should be able to make a new exe which launches D2k and retains a hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yeah, I changed dune2000.dat to dune2000.exe and that worked. Looks like dune2000.exe (original) is not needed. Funny. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMIgaBot Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 im dune folder i have other files that seem to be not needed. .. ps do not try remove failure.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Wasn't aware that it had an entry point, weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 im dune folder i have other files that seem to be not needed. .. ps do not try remove failure.txt It doesn't do anything, just gives you an error when trying to write to the file when the game crashes.

Gruntlord6 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 but it never writes anything when game is crashing soactually yes such as:Dune 2000 requires a 256 colour desktop to run.This video card does not support the required modes.Insufficient RAM and/or Virtual Memory. Check Virtual Memory settings and disk space to ensure at least 12Mb is avilable.File not foundPlease reinstall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
