im makinf a program to automatically make the bipd a flying bipd but i need the flying bipd hex value if ne has it thnx

Cool, sounds like a nice plug-in.

theres quite a few. 1st thing is open up the plug-in in notepad and take a note at the offset..then open up the map in dothalo . then click on bipd. gotot he hex editor built it, then goto that offset fm the plugin. Take a note of the party on top where it says "Offset on map" and there u go

Not possible, it would lagg too much and you cant find hex value for it without alot of luck

this is the way you have to go about doing that what you do is et a hex editor ex: Hex Workshop now that you have that you can make a original copy of the map know make a second with the fly bipd created now open the one map in the hex editor then go to compare and slect the second then see what has changed

OR EVEN EASIER

you can find out what type the value it is in this case its a float a.k.a single

then you just go to the correct tag offset then just do the tag offset + the offset that it says on the plugin and thast the value you want to edit

since im in a good mood ill give you a function to read the value and im sure you can figureout how to edit it by just editing the function a bit

Ha, AntMan knows all.

Code: Select all

   Public Function GetFloatValue(ByVal Filepath As String, ByVal TagOffset as long, ByVal ValueOffset as long)

        Dim read As New System.IO.BinaryReader(New System.IO.FileStream(Filepath, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.ReadWrite))
        read.BaseStream.Seek(TagOffset  + ValueOffset , System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin)
        Dim value = read.ReadSingle
        Return value

    End Function

wrong its not a float, its a bitmask....

the values you need to edit to change your speed and all to even move are floats and the actual flying 2 and crap are bitmask

You will need your program to load the biped tags and load the dword of meta that contains the flying flag. It is in the form of a bitmask so you will need to create a function to go from hex->bin, put a 1 for the flying bit, then create another function that goes from bin->hex and overwrite the bitmask. You will need to do a little educated guessing as to what bit it is, you can look at the plugin but it will all depend on how the data is loaded in your app.
