Shandalar - Feature Requests

[Korath]

See here for discussion.

If you don't want to wait for me to get around to it, you can hexedit them in Shandalar.exe. They begin at 0x001847c0, and go in the same order as in the @WORLDMAGIC_NAMES internationalizations in AdvStrings.txt.

Each worldmagic entry is a four-dword struct. The first dword is - like the enemies' signature card entry - a csvid of a card in the game; I suspect they either originally made you give up a corresponding card to use, or were granted only if you owned the corresponding card, or - and this would have been quite ambitious but way cool - they originally intended to make a different worldmagic for each card in the game.

The second dword is the cost. The third and fourth are the city it's being sold in and how long a timed one has left to wear off; they're assigned at runtime.

8. 0x00184830 for Fruit of Sustenance has a csvid of 0x0000011d which is 285 (Wild Growth) and has a cost of 0x000001f4, which is 500.
9. 0x00184840 for Staff of Thunder has a csvid of 0x00000091 which is 145 (Lightning Bolt) and has a cost of 0x00000258, which is 600.
10. 0x00184850 for Dwarven Pick has a csvid of 0x0000001a which is 26 (Burrowing) and has a cost of 0x0000012c, which is 300.
11. 0x00184860 for Sword of Resistance has a csvid of 0x000000cd which is 205 (Righteousness) and has a cost of 0x00000258, which is 600.

The actual costs they're sold at is one half of the gold cost listed in those structs, so e.g. Sword of Resistance costs 300, not the 600 listed. To make it cost 2500, you have to give it a value of 5000 in Shandalar.exe; that's 0x00001388 in hexadecimal, and so you'd overwrite bytes 0x184864-0x184867 with 88 13 00 00.
