Modding Battlereams.dat

[Tyder 0]

its pretty simple

here are the two first sections

Enum_AbilityTriggers: http://pastebin.com/jQnrZq9i

Enum_AbilityType: http://pastebin.com/ZjwQ9QnU

What can we do with these?

[Blankname 14]

its the .dat structure. if i finish the list then it should be possible to edit anything inside battlerealms.dat

cool, keep going on guy, we still have many things that couldn't have been edited yet ( battle gears range, stamina cost, etc...) so maybe your work can help do this

Nice work but I still don't know how we can use it

and where are the sections that we can put the triggers 00000001 ,00000002, 00000003 , etc

here\l/ or where

0x00000390 to 0x000017CE: // section strings

[Blankname 14]

the sections in the first list (all Enum_'s) are just a list of possible IDs together with their string. these IDs are used in the sections of the second list (Data_) that is the important part of the file where u guys are editing all the stuff

[Gregor8356 275]

You want to tell as it goes that way

so :

part of data

0x000F7FA4 59 00 00 00 // number of sections
0x000F7FA8 to 0x000F8537: // section offsets

1. ED 93 0F 00 00 00 00 00
2. DE B7 0F 00 00 00 00 00
3. 39 B9 0F 00 00 00 00 00
4. 5C BC 0F 00 00 00 00 00

etc.

here /l\ goes enum

/l\ that string means :

1. Data_Abilities
2. Data_AIWarPartyMakeUps
3. Data_AmbientLife
4. Data_AmbientLifeEffects
5. Data_AmbientLifeSounds

etc.

so if I want mod something for e.g.

2.Data_AIWarPartyMakeUps / 2. DE B7 0F 00 00 00 00 00

I should take the list of enum :

in that case that one :

Enum_AIWarPartyType:

FFFFFFFF AIWARPARTY_INVALID

00000000 AIWARPARTY_AMBUSHFROMFOREST

00000001 AIWARPARTY_AMBUSHFROMHILL

00000002 AIWARPARTY_ASSAULT

00000003 AIWARPARTY_CHARGE

00000004 AIWARPARTY_DEFENSE

00000005 AIWARPARTY_RAIDING

00000006 AIWARPARTY_SCOUT

00000007 AIWARPARTY_DISTRACTAWAY

00000008 AIWARPARTY_DISTRACTTOWARDS

00000009 AIWARPARTY_FIXING

0000000A AIWARPARTY_FLANKING

0000000B AIWARPARTY_PERIMETER

0000000C AIWARPARTY_TOTAL

after moding it should look like that:

2. DE B7 0F 00 00 00 00 04

And that will be mean that AI on a war will be defensive

is that properly ?

[Blankname 14]

no, it doesnt work that way.

DE B7 0F 00 00 00 00 00 (0x00000000000FB7DE) is the offset where X section is located at. or maybe its offset 0x000FB7DE and 0000 is something else? idk

00000004 AIWARPARTY_DEFENSE means AIWARPARTY_DEFENSE = 04 00 00 00 that you can use somewhere in .dat...dont ask me where

[Gregor8356 275]

no, it doesnt work that way.

DE B7 0F 00 00 00 00 00 (0x00000000000FB7DE) is the offset where X section is located at. or maybe its offset 0x000FB7DE and 0000 is something else? idk

00000004 AIWARPARTY_DEFENSE means AIWARPARTY_DEFENSE = 04 00 00 00 that you can use somewhere in .dat...dont ask me where

Any way i don't find in br.dat file

that string -0FB7DE or 00000000000FB7DE

so your list are useful

is only for us to find where to use them

last question how works data section?

or how we can use it ?

here we can use one of your lists :

Enum_BattleGearAcquisitionType

i dont know yet. i noticed the are 178 Data_ sections, but only 89 strings. also every ID in those sections got a strange value that normally is 04 00 00 00

yea, Enum_AbilityType should be useful as well

WOW, This will be very helpful for us!

[andrei_drozhzhin 3]

I agree with X-man

Hi

I am this friend

at the moment its just a viewer, it shows the second section.

I made the viewer with Blankname's guidance on the structure.

Making a viewer is 10x easier then making it also able to write the file again, but atleast the mysterys about the battlerealms.dat file are uncovered.

u can download this viewer here :

This weekend i want to try if i am able to write the file, and make a editor for it

Very good, Now this program can help me to write information for my mods easy.

Many Thank!

[MrFish 5]

Yeah, thanks a lot for that utility! It would unlock a lot of new possibilities if it could edit battlerealms.dat, so I hope you have luck in getting that to work.

[MrFish 5]

I was wondering, if it isn't possible to write to the file, would it be possible to show the addresses of each value so they would be easy to find?

EDIT: I just found out how to make the level of detail for the models to be the same as in the cinematics. Go to address 00171198 and change 02 to 00. Some units will look the same, others will look like they do in the cinematics.

[JustHim 5]

Good idea, for now i added the offsets with the data.

Also many types can be found back in the enums of section 1.

Sadly i didn't found out yet how to link the enums with the data automatic, can't find any reference to eachother in the file.

probably im missing it, but its not hard to match them on sight

// Edit

Updated it again, it will now edit and save the byte/int/float values.

Strings are not possible yet because it just edits the bytes on the offsets and it would mess up the file if the string was shorter or longer

[MrFish 5]

Thank you so much, this is a really great utility!

[Grayback 14 9]

Why does it shows assertion failed. Please fix it. I need it too much.

[Blankname 14]

awesome!

[Grayback 14 9]

Can you reupload it again. I'm a XP user.

[MrFish 5]

Why is it that some techniques don't seem to work for other units? I tried giving poison weapons to ninjas; the technique appears next to the ninja's portrait, but his weapons don't become poisonous.

Can you reupload it again. I'm a XP user.

He doesn't need to reupload it, it works. The problem must be on your end.
