what improvements you saw?

I find your work highly entertaining.

Who are the people that asked you "to fo with the gameplay file"? You have certainly done that job well.

Isn't that what it is supposed to do?

I have used a custom byte writer which is something like Hex editor.

One guy who asked me is the first person to reply in this thread

Basically, the game may crash sometimes. Hence I want to know where the game crashes so that I can do something. Can someone please actually test it and post it whether there are any improvements or not? I was't able to test deeply.

@Sachin: you destroyed my game. The startup.wad file you sent me a week ago is from the demo and has corrupted my game

Anyways, I have re-installed again

 

[sachin_phoenix]

hitterman i have tried your patch
the game is almost the same
timing and bowling is same
u should elaborate the improvements so that i can see the changes clearly
the v zone of the batsman is same

 

[Hitterman]

Thanks phoenix for telling me that. I also wasn't expecting much changes but I have modified the values a bit. Don't know for what those values were.

I guess you didn't catch my drift. This is the opposite of a patch. Its more likely to create a hole than patch anything up.

You have modified dwords that precede strings that represent the name of a gameplay parameter thinking that they represent the value of that parameter. Well, they dont. If you were an astute observer, you would notice that they actually store the length of the string. The values are stored way below after some 77000 odd bytes.
I would not be surprised if your "patch" manages to crash the database serialiser.

To paraphrase, this patch does not work. It is so off the mark that it might even crash the game.

I think you and ABBH should combine and make a great gameplay patch.

I guessed it hence I sent you VM

Yeah, I thought that it's like the roster. The difference of bytes was also same hence I was confused. Do you have any idea how the values are stored? Are the values stored as characters or as dwords?

AbBh alone can create something better than me. He don't need anyone else for help.

But it can be better and you can also learn some new things from him and then you can make on your own.

I don't think so. He can make a good one himself but I think he may be busy atm.
