FireGraft 1.16.1 (primarily exe edit discussion)

[RavenWolf]

Well,thanks to take a look on those suggestions. And great work with the new exe edits

Edit: File was outdated and subsequently removed.

@RavenWolf: After some tinkering I nailed the latter two exe edits.

New EXE Edits:

• Modify hit chance under Dark Swarm
• Modify hit chance under doodads (trees)
• Modify hit chance when attacking units uphill
• Remove random cooldown change when attacking

Off-topic, I discovered that when Dark Swarm is modified to protect air units, it also makes doodads protect air units.

- possibility to camuflage all unit if activate the icon spell.
- possibility to load unit/mechanical into a building.(lift building and possibility to unload in any place,like a dropship)

Apply Damage Type Modifiers Before Shields/Armor
Changes the damage formula to (damage) = (base dmg) x (modifier) - (armor)

I find that this exe edit makes ignore armor weapons to not ignore the target armor(it works on shields but not on hp), so spells like irradiate and psystorm lose potetential with higher armor targets(irradiate cant even kill a fully upgrade firebat).

There is any chance to fix that?

I dont know if will work, but may be changing the formula to
(damage) = (base dmg - (armor/modifier)) x (modifier) ?

New exe edits:

• Modify energy upgrade connected to unit
• Modify sight upgrade connected to unit

Which means you can give sight/energy upgrades to other units. However, you can't create new ones--you have to modify existing upgrades (Sensor Array, Titan Reactor, etc).

In other news, I don't think I'll be able to work with FireGraft (and StarCraft) for a long, long time. It's sad, but you just have to let some things go...it was fun while I could enjoy it.

FireGraft edits usually modify things that already exist. Creating new spells like the ones you mentioned would probably need plugins. I'm afraid none of your suggestions seem feasible to me.

Huh. You know, I have no idea how that thing works. I made that hack before I got a copy of IDA Pro, and being unfamiliar with assembly, I mostly moved fragments of code around until it seemed to work. Besides, I probably won't have time to interact with any of these now...sorry about that.

[RavenWolf]

No problem man, you did an amazing job with all those new exe edits!

New EXE Edits:

• Ensnare:
  
  • Affect 1 unit only (a la Lockdown, Optic Flare, etc.)
  • Ensnare weapons deal damage like Normal weapons*
  • Don't increase weapon cooldown
  • Don't affect robotic units at all
• Status Effects:
  • D-Matrix does not reveal cloaked units
  • Lockdown does not reveal cloaked units
  • Maelstrom does not reveal cloaked units
  • (and so on for Irradiate, Ensnare, Plague, Stasis Field, and Corrosive Acid)
• Misc:
  
  • Modify mineral harvesting time
  • Modify gas harvesting time
  • Modify weapon cooldown increase by Corrosive Acid
  • Allow hallucinations to NOT receive double damage

*See: Spawn Broodlings deal damage to target unit

Bug Fixes:

• The 'Apply weapon damage modifiers before shields/armor' EXE edit now treats 'Ignore Armor' weapons as it should. Thanks, RavenWolf!

Notes:

• Using the new Ensnare-related EXE edits, it is possible to emulate the 'Concussive Shells' ability of Marauders in StarCraft 2. Try!
• With 'apply weapon damage modifiers before shields/armor' enabled, weapon damage modifiers are calculated before Defensive Matrix and Protoss Plasma Shields.

[RavenWolf]

Great! and thanks for that fix.
