Offset Values

Right, so I made an app, awhile ago, that can edit the bipd jump height value. I had used a tutorial to do it, so the code wasn't my own. I scanned through it, and saw that the offset for bipd jump height was 504.
I'd like to be able to find the offset for, say, the max and min ROF of a weapon. Or something else like that. I don't know much about Hex or Binary, including BinaryReaders, so I was wondering if there was a simple way.

It is simple how I described on AIM.

look in the plugin for the tag you want to edit, then find the value you wish to change and look at what struct it is in. You will need the offset of that struct and the offset of the value you wish to edit. Then you simply get the meta offset of the Tag after you select it of coarse then do:
Code: Select all
BR.BaseStream.Position = TagsMetaOffset + (structOffset + Value Offset)
And thats it. I think might want to run this by someone else.

dont forget to add the multiply of by the chunk size /end drunkensseses

I honestly have no idea what you said grimdoomer.
I was hoping that there was an app where you'd type in a number and it'd be like, "That the max ROF of a weapon!" or something nice and easy like that.
But that's probably a little too much too hope for.

Well there no real way to find the offset through a program, you should just look at a plugin to find the offset of the max rate of fire.

That actually helps.
But both Weapon Pickup Distance and Minimum ROF share the same offset of 0x4. How do I distinguish between them?

Yes they do, hmm, chunks can be shared in another tag, reflexives too, i noticed that on wgit and skin, seems like same thing for vehi and weap.

He forgot the struct offset
here
Code: Select all
<struct name="Magazine" offset="704" visible="true" size="92" label="">
<bitmask32 name="Flags" offset="0" visible="True">
<option name="Wastes rounds when reloaded" value="1" />
<option name="Every round must be chambered" value="2" />
</bitmask32>
<short name="Rounds Recharged (per second)" offset="4" visible="True" />
<short name="Initial Rounds" offset="6" visible="True" />
<short name="Max Rounds" offset="8" visible="True" />
<short name="Max Rounds Loaded" offset="10" visible="True" />
<int name="Max Rounds Held" offset="12" visible="True" />
<float name="Reload Time(seconds)" offset="16" visible="False" />
<int name="Rounds Reloaded" offset="20" visible="True" />
<float name="Chamber Time(seconds)" offset="24" visible="True" />
<unused offset="28" size="24" />
<tag name="Reloading Effect" offset="52" visible="True" />
<id name="Reloading Effect" offset="56" visible="True" />
<tag name="Chambering Effect" offset="60" visible="True" />
<id name="Chambering Effect" offset="64" visible="True" />
<tag name="Unused" offset="68" visible="False" />
<id name="Unused" offset="72" visible="False" />
<tag name="Unused" offset="76" visible="False" />
<id name="Unused" offset="80" visible="False" />
<struct name="Magazines" offset="84" visible="true" size="12" label="">
<int name="Rounds" offset="0" visible="True" />
<tag name="Equipment" offset="4" visible="True" />
<id name="Equipment" offset="8" visible="True" />
</struct>
</struct>
thats the part you need to look at, the struct offset is 704, and intial rounds offset is 6. All you do is get the metaoffset of the tag, and goto the struct offset. Then you read the chunkcount there, then advance byt the offset of the intial rounds wich is 6:
Code: Select all
BR.BaseStream.Posistion = TagsMetaOffset + 704
ChunkCount = BR.Readint32
BR.BaseStream.Position += 6
InitialRounds = BR.ReadShort
Thats it.

Yeah Prey, this is the source for the application I was making awhile back that you helped me with when I got like, tons of errors. It is Anthony's.
Hey, if anyone wants to write a new tut for C# on making a simple app, please, go ahead.
I'll be able to scan the code and hopefully further my minimal knowledge.
