Shandalar Deck Injector
Posted: 28 Oct 2010, 09:20
So since gremlins ran off with my old topic here is a new one.
For those that don't know I've developed a deck injector for Shandalar and aptly named it Shandalar Deck Injector. You can download it from http://www.mybrillgamesite.com/projects/?id=93 and ask in this topic if you have any problems or queries.
So what does it allow you to do?
It allows you to use any card in game at any point in the game. It is also growing and now allows the editing of food, gold and amulets.
How does it work?
You create a deck in the deck builder app that comes with Shandalar (Duel) and save it. You then open my program and select the save you want to inject the deck into and the deck you want to inject and when you hit inject it is done.
Will I lose the cards I already have?
Nope, it will keep all your cards and will only add to your hand the ones need to make the deck. If you do want to get rid of all your cards you can hit the clear button.
Isn't this cheating?
Yeah pretty much but by now you've probably played Shandalar so much that it is just nice to be able to get straight into it with your favourite deck. However it also allows you to have an unlimited amount of any card in your deck (i.e. 30 plague rats), this is definatly cheating (but fun).
Does it support the new cards that are found in Manalink etc?
No, from the little I've read about it it sounds like this is a near impossibility but I'd still never say never
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now some questions from me
What are silvers?
I understand a bit about ASM but haven't tore an exe apart before (I've worked with 68K Megadrive roms). What flavour of assembly can I expect out of Shandalar.exe and any recommendations on disassemblers, debuggers and what not to get started with?
Oh also there appears to be a bug that stops it working in Windows 7, this is on the to-do-list.
As before you are free to host the program on your site and distribute it by any non-profit means but please don't link directly to my download, to the site is fine.
Cheers
