Unlimited Boosting

Hi, I'm new here and I've been searching around for ages for the method to make the booster not run out of juice.

Can someone tell me specifically step by step?
I've already seen the hex for it but I still don't know how to do that.

I'm a newb at computers...

 

just change:
004157A1: 85 D2 74 16 83 3D E8 E6 49 00 00 74 0D A1 E8 E6 to
004157A1: 85 D2 74 16 83 3D E8 E6 49 00 01 74 0D A1 E8 E6

stops the booster from decreasing at 1, rather than zero, so it just keeps moving ad infinitum. btw, there was a thread on this made today, and countless others explaining how to do it. Please search next time.

 

I checked that thread, but what do you change?

Where are those random hex codes coming from?
Do I need a special program?

 

Yes. Go to Google or Wikipedia and search for "hex editor".

Someone should really make a FAQ. Not an Gardebiter FAQ, a real FAQ.

 

I'm guessing this won't work on CS mods?

The values are in the same location, regardless of how bat-shit crazy the mod may be. It's one of those values that need to remain static, or else the game would have a hard time functioning.


What ever happened to the 'beginner hacking thread' that happened to supply all this stuff...?

 

I downloaded XVI32 .exe hex editor but I couldn't find that strand and I used search and even looked through it manually...

Is that beginner hacking thread still here?

 

Jump to offset "004157A1".

Also check the Hacking/Modding forum.

I know I am getting very annoying with how nooby I am but how do you search for the offset in XVI32? I know what an offset is but how do you search for it?

 

Unlimited boosting would be kind of cheap.

 

Look in all the menus. I'd expect there is a "Search" or "Jump to" option somewhere. I don't know how to use XVI32 specifically, but I have used other hex editors.

Or you could just scroll down the file until you see "004157A1" or something close on the left side of the window. You'd have to scroll down a fair distance though.

I've done this sort of thing before, and I got it to work in normal Cave Story, but it wouldn't work in WTFStory. o.o

 

cave editor messes with offsets.
At least, I gather that it does...
