Necronomicon - Book of Dead Names

URL: http://www.kongregate.com/games/Gamesof ... dead-names

Fun upgrade of the older Necronomicon card game.

Variables are root:

_level0/:vida1 (Life)
_level0/:sanity1 (Sanity)
_level0/:arcanemod1 (arcane power)

However, changing them does not seem to work.  They always display the correct values, however.  Poking around to try to see if I can figure out why.

Edit: Can't seem to find a second "verification" address.  Tried all roots of the same name, double, 4b*1, 4b*8, 4b*8+6.  It's possible it's doing math to obfuscate the true value, and then using the root vars here to do the actual display.  Starting to poke through some of the more obscure root variables, see if any of those are the "real" value.

Further edit: No luck with the obscure root vars so far.  Going to start trying common factors for "real" variables.

The best of luck to you bud.  I'll have to give this game a playthrough tonight when I get home.  (broken image removed)

Wow.  This one has thoroughly defeated me.  (broken image removed)

one of these will stop sanity going down...
96 04 00 08 ?? 08 00 1c 96 02 00 08 ?? 4e 96 02 00 08 00 1c 96 02 00 08 ?? 4e 0b 4f

I really dont know why it refuses to work for health and shit.
this should make your health go up when hit...but doesnt

like if you apply it, dump the memory, decompile it, it has changed life=life-damge to life=life+damage....
so there must be a trick to it....

That's really odd.  The math there seems straightforward.

The problem is that there are multiple places in the code where the life is written to (code for damaged by a card, another for when damaged by a spell, and so on).  At the very least I counted about 5+ instances where you'd need to change the code.

Easiest solution for not dying is probably just:

Hope that helps

Main damage types add Hp (Attacking cards, Monsters and Taint)

Change All 3 to

?? 00 96 02 00 08 ?? 1C 96 04 00 08 ?? 08 ?? 1C 96 02 00 08 ?? 4E 96 02 00 08 ?? 1C 96 02 00 08 ?? 4E 0a 4F

i.e change the final 0b to 0a in each one

Edit: Fixed dual effect issues

Fun upgrade of the older Necronomicon card game.

Hmm, works almost perfectly fine for me (so, thanks for that!)... I found the corresponding values, changed life and sanity to 100 (it doesn't matter that they are greater than their respective maximum, plus you will always get a S-rating) and froze everything. Everytime I got hit or lost sanity, the values were reset to 100 and then reduced according to the damage taken or sanity lost. There were only two or three occasions when the pointer address changed, but honestly I don't know why. Nonetheless I'm pretty sure that changing the root variables is sufficient and that there is no further "control mechanism" for these values.

Weird.  I tried it like four times and never got it to work.  Maybe I just got really unlucky and ended up with one of those pointer changes afterward.  I'll have to give it another go.  (broken image removed)
