You would think the level times would be loaded into the sol like ching chong, but no such luck.

I'm actually enjoying playing this legit. You should be able to earn Bridging the Gap, Withered Away, Naturally Talented, Undeterred and Speedy Runner within about 20 minutes of playing, though you may need to redo some of the levels if you take too long.

The .sol is interesting as it uses a class called EncryptedCookie to stream all the data into a string and SimpleEncrypt to encrypt it (it looks like it xors the data with 129). Should be easy enough to break if I can spend some more time on it.

Another route to doing this by AoB is in the core.Badges class we have code like:

Code: [Select]

private static function submit(param1:String) : void
{
;
switch(param1)
{
case "die":
{
if (isKong())
{
submitKong("WitheredAway", 1);
}
NewgroundsAPI.unlockMedalByName("Withered Away");
break;
}

So, all the medal names are in the same function, so we can just swap Withered Away for summat more difficult.

Also note the submitKong method - I wonder whether we'll see Kongregate badges for this before too long.

deity, you are great. Here are AoBs most of people are used to
Change 2c 94 0e (Withered Away, die) for:
2c 96 0e (Bridging the Gap)
2c 98 0e (Naturally Talented)
2c 9a 0e (Logically Delicious)
2c 9c 0e (Master of Mysteries)
2c 9d 0e (Undeterred)
2c 9f 0e (Demon Dodger)
2c a1 0e (Speedy Runner)
2c a3 0e (Spacetime Traveller)
2c a5 0e (Embracer of Paradoxes)

All credits go to deity. If medal wont come, i accidently used other AoB, which would send stats to Kong

Didn't seem to work for me.

Now I've finished the game legit; time to get some of the hard to get medals...

For both Demon Dodger and Undeterred (though the latter is easy to get) use the below AoB and complete either level 7 or any other level to get the appropriate achievement.
62 04 27 14 1f 00 00 =>
62 04 27 02 02 02 02

For Speedy Runner, use the below AoB and then pass one level between 1 and 5: (I got this legit so this isn't tested, but should work)
62 06 25 b0 09 =>
62 06 25 FF 7F

For Spacetime Traveler [sic], use the below AoB and then pass one level between 6 and 9: (I used level 8 as it's easy and it does work)
62 07 25 b0 09 =>
62 07 25 FF 7F

For Embracer of Paradoxes, use the below AoB and then pass one level: (I used level 8 and did Spacetime Traveler [sic] at the same time - note you will get this badge awarded before the other speed badges, you can of course argue this out if somebody challenges you on it, but you may want to do this one last)
62 08 25 f4 08 =>
62 07 25 ff 7f

Masters didn't seem to work for me. Going to try the undeterred one now.

EDIT: Undeterred works.

Updated my original post to add more AoBs.

You're on your own with solving the individual levels - they are quite easy once you've played them a lot. It must be easy: I can do it and I suck at platformers :-)

Can confirm that they all work. Thanks for the AOB's.

Havn't given you a +1 in a while (broken image removed)

I managed to get the medals with a bit of practice and speedhack at .5 speed. Only took me about 2 hours. If you want to do it half legit I guess lol.
