Modding the Demigod/Hero/Peasant values
« on: February 17, 2012, 08:16:48 am »

How would one go about modifying the Point Value of starting characters in the Demigod, Hero, and Peasant categories?  Is there an easy way to do it?  Thanks for the help in advance.

There might be an easier way, but I used a memory editor once to just max all the values to see how a "maxed" out character would play.  It was fun, but it made it glaringly obvious that the game needed more stuff to do besides kill stuff.

I have Runesmith which lets you do just that, but there is not a version of it that works with 0.34.01.  I was hoping there would be a way to modify the aforementioned values so I can test some things in the new version... but I do not know how to go about doing that.  :(

EDIT: Just looked up memory editing DF.  Looks a little out of my league, to be honest.  Unless I get Painfully specific instructions I doubt I could do it.  :'(

It has to be a mod that actually edits the binary file of DF. Either that ore using third party memory editors. It isn't a thing you can change in the raws.

Do you know where I would look for something like that?  What I have found on the wiki, which google sends me to, seems to require some prior knowledge of the codes makeup.  Something which I do not have.

Get cheatengine, select process, select 2 byte values, then search for current stat or skill value, increase/lower something, then change the value accordingly and press next scan
