 |
|
Hey there! Seems like I am a new scholar. :)
I am not much of a video-game player (at least since 2001 or so, hehe), although I am finding the Trials (Gold) game quite worthy of being played, especially at the advanced levels. (I am playing v1.0.3, and on a machine that is not even connected to the Internet, by the way). The only thing I feel that they have done wrong, way wrong, with this game is filling the extreme-difficulty warehouse tournament with beginner-, easy-, and medium-difficulty tracks. Hell, they did not even put any extreme-difficulty tracks in!
It is a shame. This is why I have been motivated in modifying that tournament, because in my mind, it would be way more interesting if it ditched out those easy tracks, and included only, in order or original appearance, all of the hard-and-extreme warehouse tracks. (For those who have not played the game yet, I am recommending it to those who like dexterity-requiring games, which make you learn while playing it, often without being conscious of your achievements in this regard.)
What I have tried is using the Haoose tools -- from forum.xentax[x]com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8861 -- to modify the v1.0.3-untouched data.pak file, which contains the tracks.xml file, in order to change the tracks of this tournament. Here is the tried edit:
| Code: | <!-- Around the World Endurance Challenge: 24 tracks: Most beginner, easy and medium tracks -->
<Track id="1108" mode="endurance" leaderboard_id="177" context_id="7" fullonly="false" difficulty="5" bikes="3">
<TrackList>
<Track id="819" />
<Track id="812" />
<Track id="806" />
<Track id="813" />
<Track id="814" />
<Track id="821" />
<Track id="817" />
<Track id="822" />
<Track id="811" />
<Track id="815" />
<Track id="835" />
<Track id="823" />
</TrackList>
<Limits platinum="16:20:000" gold="20:00:000" silver="40:00:000" platinum_faults="5" gold_faults="30" silver_faults="120"/>
</Track> |
Doing so, and importing it back to the data.pak archive, successfully modifies the related tournament-selection menu. However, upon going further, the game crashes and one is swung back to desktop.
Upon diagnosing the source of the problem, it seems it is the published hacking tool which is the culprit, because without modifying anything in the xml file, the internal system of the game is made broken anytime a reimport is effected.
Perhaps some kind of checksum protection is not fiddled with gently enough? Something is going wrong. I am curious as to the core issue, although I am stagnating in this quest. Things get even more complicated knowing that, game progress seems saved in parallel in the "my documents" folder (track and tournament times), sometimes acquired medals seem written to the "1.save" file, and the talked-about data.pak file seems to change over time (for a reason yet unknown to me).
If this challenge is of any interest to you, my friends, you would be more than welcomed in solving it further. :)

Hey! D00ds, awesomeness has come. quickbms has solved some troubles...
| Code: | # script for QuickBMS
idstring "\x78\x56\x34\x12"
get OFFSET long
get FILES long
savepos INFO_OFF
# work-around, lame
for i = 0 < FILES
get DUMMY long
get ZSIZE long
get SIZE long
get ZIP byte
get OFFSET long
savepos TMP
if ZIP == 0
goto OFFSET
get XFILES long
math XFILES += 1
if XFILES == FILES
math i = FILES # break doesn't work
endif
goto TMP
endif
next i
if XFILES == FILES
log MEMORY_FILE OFFSET SIZE
get FILES long MEMORY_FILE # the original FILES includes also the NAME entry
else
math TMP = FILES
math TMP *= 2
putvarchr MEMORY_FILE TMP 0
endif
goto INFO_OFF
for i = 0 < FILES
get DUMMY long
get ZSIZE long
get SIZE long
get ZIP byte
get OFFSET long
get NAMESZ short MEMORY_FILE
getdstring NAME NAMESZ MEMORY_FILE
if ZIP == 0
log NAME OFFSET SIZE
elif ZIP == 4
comtype xmemdecompress
savepos TMP
goto OFFSET
get SIZE long
get ZSIZE long
savepos OFFSET
clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
goto TMP
else
comtype zlib
clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
endif

Reimporting works like a treat, and does not crash the game. The game is now rendered more interesting.
Hope this helps future generations in ten years from now.
Yours,
