X405 recently did a little GPTP trick at the Project Hydra discord, where he came up with something interesting. And yes, we even talked about it for a bit, and he's allowing me to share it with you here.

Quote
struct CampaignMission
{
char *missionName;
int missionIndex;
};

SCBW_DATA(CampaignMission, campaignMissions, 0x4FFF60);

void *loadInitCreditsBIN(char *a1) {
int address = 0x4d8df0;
void * result_;
__asm {
mov eax, a1
call address
mov result_, eax
}
return result_;
}

void __cdecl sub_4D9200()
{
if (!multiPlayerMode && !(CHEAT_STATE & CheatFlags::CHEAT_NoGlues) && campaignIndex)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 65; i++)
{
if (campaignMissions[i].missionIndex == CampaignIndex)
loadInitCreditsBIN(campaignMissions[i].missionName);
}
}
// The code above is the original function at address 0x4D9200
// The code below is my patch:
else if (campaignIndex == 0 && CurrentMapFileName)
{
SFileOpenArchive(CurrentMapFileName, 0, 0, &mapArchiveHandle);
HANDLE unusedHandle;
bool establishingShotExists = SFileOpenFileEx(mapArchiveHandle, "rez\\est.txt", 0, &unusedHandle);
if (establishingShotExists)
{
loadInitCreditsBIN_("est");
}
SFileCloseArchive(mapArchiveHandle);
}
}

With this code (directly from discord) embedded and plugged in to a mod, he was able to come up with this (from Pr0nogo):

"The government once called me an 'unreliable source'. It was the greatest compliment I could ever receive, I'd frame it and hang it on the wall. Imagine if I were considered a 'trustworthy man'. I'd change profession."

Responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast

This is really cool.



all i am is a contrary canary
but i'm crazy for you
i watched you cradling a tissue box
sneezing and sniffling, you were still a fox

Thanks, DeltaCadimus, for your intereset!

I've made it available as a binary: http://www.staredit.net/topic/18221/

If anyone is interested in the code - here's a commit for you. Look around the github repo. If you know what you're doing, you should quickly get an idea on how to replicate it in your project.

This already has been ported to Pr0nogo's Project Hydra.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
[06:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
[06:49 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?

Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.
[06:41 pm]
Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.

Vrael -- I need a go-to solution and someone who understands that Carpets are more than just decorative elements in my home.
