SkyMagic Editor 0903.01

[HarryPitfall]

New version of the editor:

* new dissassembler, using similar sintax of ollydbg (I hope that it fix some wrong coding)
* new flags on magic.exe, discovered by draggamor
* support and need manalinkex.dll
* protection for dissassembling outside/wrong pointers

Get here while is hot:

I dont know if it is possible or not but can you add a dissassembler for shandalar like you have for magic.exe i dont know if that is possible or not but i thought id ask as you cannot go to the code pointer in the shandalar tab...or at least i cannot?

[HarryPitfall]

For now, no shandalar support will be added... since only 30 free slots exists to cards (or less). If we manage to replicate the same thing that skymarshal did on magic.exe (expand card list), free space for coding will be easy to do...

I already got the space for the cards (unlimited), now modifying like 500+ calls for the new memory region.

If that means what I think it means, then I'm very excited Snacko.

[gmzombie]

I think my heart missed a beat...if you said what I think u said. this will be exciting to see.

I don't have to think, my heart jumped into my throat!

This could be AWESOME!

All my friends in Shandalar would love to have new citizens move into the area!

I await with bated breath!

Good and bad update:
The cards can be moved and I updated all the calls (didn't count but adds up to a thousand calls), however there seems to be some code depending on the total card count which is 722. Any higher number generates "None" empty cards or completely empty cards which crash the game. Also when increasing the card number you stop being able to cast some cards! and your and your opponents life total doesn't change ever...

I found a routine that does some operations on the number of cards. Probably it allocates some card ranges for the towns / encounters / specialfx etc.

Shandalar with more cards... this would be AWESOME

[Snacko]

I'll upload the working file with the 722 cards with the patched calls.
Getting the other isn't so easy as there are some issues with buying / getting. I don't think I'll try to find that so anyone will be free to pick it up and thinker with it and maybe find a fix (probably another half a thousand calls here and there as with more cards there would be some storage issues; some of the card data is copied into other places)

I could not get the editor to work. Do I need any Libraries?

Vista 64

It just hangs then stops.

thanx...

I can't run it at all on vista, either. I think we're just out of luck.

[HarryPitfall]

My compiler is Delphi 7, the code can run only up to XP machines (I didn't have Delphi 2009 yet 'cause I can't spend money for it now).
I don't know any tricks to run the application in vista... (I don't remember if the manifest inside is ok either)

[omnix32]

OH, I see the issue. Thanx!!! I thought it was something wrong with something on my end.

Delphi 2009 - RAD Studio 2009 full

If you want to upgrade to 2009 you can search and download it at the above link. (It is there!!) It is the ah..... um... extended trial version. Ya, and if you like it better you can pay for it once the funds become available.

Since I use Delphi to develop my bussiness (a.k.a., the programs that pay my bills), I can't use a <non-orthodoxal> version, only registered payed versions.
Vista is the most troublesome O.S. that microsoft releases, even more than Windows ME... full of file protection, internet protection, user protection... protection of protection... lol... some Vista machines runs my applications, some not...
