Colored Game Names

[NpK]

I have no iea how to make it owrk.

I made an assumption about D2's memory allocation that caused the program to not work in most cases...(several tests showed certain parts of the address being the same, so I wrongly assumed they were always the same in attempt to reduce the amount of addresses the program reads...I've attached a version that should work better...


to anyone curious about how to do this by hand, type something distinct (so as to result few possible locations) in the game name box, and search for the hex equivelant of the characters seperated by 00 (using a program like Winhex). Ex:

ec2test = 6500630032007400650000730074

then change the first three characters of the name to ÿ (FF), c (63), and the color- "1" (31) is blue, "2" (32) is green, etc...

so FF00630032007400650000730074 woudl result in the word "test" being green...

ok i guess this doesnt work with d2loader as of now but ill get working on it

How does the hack find the d2 process window? I used d2loader and changed the title to Diablo II but d2 locked up when i changed the color. Whoever made it...do you use d2loader? How do we know it isnt even a virus?

Are you referring to my program? If so, no, I don't use D2 loader. I know it's not a virus due to having created it...and I can get you source files if you want... http://members.lycos.co.uk/bfirc/gnsource.htm
(I'll go ahead and assume mods won't have a problem with me linking directly to a .zip containing only the source to a program...)

...new version attached.


note to self - always create the most user-friendly and capable version first...



-and I still don't know why I'm doing this, perhaps boredom, and the lack of anything else to make which doesn't allow people to do anything to ruin the game...on that note, feel free to ask if you want any known or semi-simple things made into a program and/or module...(something much of the d2 "hacking" community needs; we're out of new ideas, and need more user-input...)

Can you make a d2loader friendly version. if not you can post the source and id be happy to make one.

(source is edited in)

you could just set the increment value to 1, but for a vb program, that'll cause it to take a long to find the value...


[edit] also, the new version (which has yet to be approved) seems to work with d2loader (you can set the window ID it looks for...)
