translation problems...

[TarKitty]

I'm converting offset from ENG version ( 2003/08/06 07:00 ) to FR version ( 2003/07/09 3:14 )

I have already processed about 25% of the offsets but i found that offsets for MemCheckAddr1 and MemCheckAddr2 point in the middle of functions, near the end of them.

I found the corresponding offsets in the FR game but i wonder if the ENG offset i use to translate is correct.

Anyone has an explaination abouty this?

offsets for MemCheckAddr1 and MemCheckAddr2 point in the middle of functions, near the end of them.

this is correct... but I cant explain why, I just know it works, so if you find the functions, and the code look the same, you have found the offsets... maybe DKAA can explain it I think he wrote the code that uses thoose offsets.

You should just go ahead and do the rest of the offsets, and when you have them, please post them so others that play the FR version can benefit as well...

TarKitty, as far as I know the FR and US version use the same offset.
I use a MQ version & offset from jully 08 and it works perfectly ( only /click fail for me )

Did you change a lot in the code or only the line that start MQ ?
Send me a PM, I would gladly help you.

Here is the offset I use :

I have already processed about 25% of the offsets but i found that offsets for MemCheckAddr1 and MemCheckAddr2 point in the middle of functions, near the end of them.

SoE put in a routine that returns the return address and they call it from within a memory checker. Since our memchecker is in a different memory location, these addresses are hardcoded to the return address of the original memory checker routine.

I believe this was an attempt to prevent us from moving their code around but it didn't stop us.

in ENG Version :

LeftClick=00499ea4 points also in a middle of a routine and, more, there are no calls to there...
if it's the right spot then the french offset should be 004D6C99 ( based on the 'push 00002F53' line )

i also found that some functions are INLINE in the FR code... quite surprising when trying to figure the match

[Valerian]

LeftClick is unimportant, as it's unused right now. I was using that for development, and probably will again if I figure out where the offset is again... don't worry about having it exactly right since it's not used anywhere in the live code.

Why don't you Google it! before you post
