Opening maps is easy to do in an application

Finding reflexives and making things dynamic and global and passing variables and such take much more thinking and work. So yeah...that too does annoy me that people think it's such a simple task...when it isn't.

Haha, Shade...I got to that offset before too (the raw offset). I didn't know what it was so I just ignored it. Wow...foolish of me to do. Well...this shall make things a bit more interesting now since you think it's a raw header.

You know the 'raw' offset was already found before, just differently. It's the 'VirtSegmentStart' in the first post.. >_<

He doesn't think that?.. Nor is it..

Found something. Probably won't help much...

There is a class called "play" and it has a tag with a blank name. Go there and copy it's translation address. When you go there it has some reflexives, the first reflexive points to the "raw offset" or the "VirtSegmentStart" or whatever you want to call it. The following reflexives point to the two paths located there. I don't know what all the junk around it is for, but I know that this is true for riverworld and salvation.

Using salvation at the "play" tag:

Offset 0:
Reflexive, chunk count: 1, size: 16 (0x03FE2000)

Offset 12:
Reflexive, chunk count: 2, size: 264 (0x03FE2010)

Offset 24:
Reflexive, chunk count: 3585, size: 94 (0x03FE2220)

Offset 36:
Reflexive, chunk count: 3896, size: 16 (0x04034E88)

Offset 48:
Reflexive, chunk count: 3872, size: 16 (0x04044208)

And then following all that you return back to the "play" tag. Heh...

Making my shotgun shoot beam projectiles and making the world gravity half that of earth tickled my fancy. Too bad(?) my camcorder can't pick up the output from my TV, could have tickled your fancy as well. Oh well, time to get rid of those fucking kill volumes.

I think he's asking for a vid for absolute proof.. but we already know you can only have 2 elephants on Sandtrap, and korns spawned 6-8, so..

As for you not sharing your info.. V_V. Back to work then I guess...

Salvation's doesn't?..

Anyway you might as well put this all in a plug-in for now and post it in the the Plugins Thread.

Its not a video of me spawning the behemoths, but I don't feel like whipping out my camera again: click.
My camera can only receive the sound out from that tv. For some reason its not picking up the video out, hence the shakycam-ness (one hand on the controller the other on the camera).

However, if you do have stuff (changes you made to the map) you want tested, I may be able to help to see if they are right. Granted I'm not talking about silly things like "i want to see if this tag reference change makes the AR shoot rockets lulz".
