Npc Hacking!

sorry of this sounds stupid, but how do you hack Npc
with i hex????

 

Download XVI32.
Open NPC.TBL.
Start hacking.

 

Well it's just in logical order:

Sprite 2 is the Behemoth right?
and Sprite 1 is the Weapon energy Shard...

So it's a logical order, if the Behemoth live take 2 places (2DA and 2DB) The Weapon energy Shard is 2D8 and 2D9, it's easy...
And u also can change the Damage of the Projektils!!

but how do you know behemoth is spirte 2 and the Weapon energy Shard is Sprite 1

 

Because when you add them in sue's workshop, it's thier Sprite number... <<

what is "that data"

 

so a wanted to increase the health of power critters!
so with the Doukutsu open with XVI32 what to i search for

 

Look at the FAQ...
It says: 0x02D2 - 2 bytes (1 word) [Health Value]
So 2 bytes... That means 2 byte for every npc so get the number of power critter (24) turn it into hex and do * 2 with it add that to 2D2 and u get ur value lol

 

and i search for that
i think i get it

 

Which is simpler / possible: Making weapons do less damage, or making npcs have higher life? Everything a one hit kill in the tileset thats closest to my storyline isnt happening.

edit: My question rephrased: Can I change the health of all like-monsters at once? Or do I have to bite the bullet and change each npc <_<... I'll reread the tutorial naow.

Change the health is simpler, because noone knows how to make weapons less or more damage.
Well, you can't change them all at once there is no possibility to do this!

And I think someone could figure out how to make NPC's invurnable against specific weapons. Like for the ma pignon or curly who are invurnable against rocket launcher and things. Also at curly there is a bubble created if you shoot her, maybe with some of the non used flags its able to make something like this. Also rune said one flag is for making npcs drop exp and hearts, but I forget which one.

k i"ll look into the increasing npc health. I saw it somewhere...

edit: It was 2 posts above:

Err... or double first and then go to hex XD (Right?)

So... for blue bats (65), 130 = 82 hex, so 0x02D2+0x0082 = 0x0364?

So, I look for 0x0364 and thats my hex value for the health of blue bats?

*Tests changing it*

did I do this right?)

edit: Both 2D2 and 364 were 00 value. damnit.

edit: Lol, we're editing npc.tbl aren't we!? *tries that*
K, 2D2 has a value, but 364 is still empty. I redid my calcs.

Lol, my calcs we're wrong. it was 354. Once again, 354 is the hex value of the health of blue bats. (default = 1). COOL! yay! (This post is useful for new members)

It's also useful to people learning to mod! Thanks!!

 

Ok, about health.
As far as I understand you find the location of an npc's health by this formula:
npcnumber * 2 + 722 = location (in decimal numbers)

This is easy even for me. However, what I can't figure out is how the values of the two cells (bytes?) correlate to make the npc's health. The values (let's say 232 and 3) aren't multiplied or added and neither do they seem to be simply bunched together (like 2323).

What am I missing here?
