Hacking .hack//Infection (Adding more Monster Variety!)

[Xu Yuan]

I've finally found where the game stores what is in Event Area Gott Treasures! They are at the very end of their dungeon files, the last line in fact. Phew, I am glad to see that I decided to revisit that section, now I know how the game gives All treasure (except for the tutorial stuff, but I really don't care too much about those). it also seems that any room can be made into a Gott statue Room, only issue is the Gott Statue is non-solid and you can go right through it and if it is not in its proper room it will not give the Event Dungeon designated treasure, oddly enough.

Not only that, but in examining Gimmicks further I see that you can put any item in any chest in any special dungeon (it Does have to be chests though, breakable objects don't count). There's nothing to it really, all you need to do is define an applicable treasure and voila!

The game also has an Awful lot of dummied magic portals/breakable objects/chests. In just Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field there's a treasure chest at the stairwell and several barrels to break in the hallway leading to the Gott Statue.

It may also be that Gott Treasures that are undefined can be manipulated, but I haven't tested that theory yet, I'd see no reason why they wouldn't be able to be modified though.

I'll look into it when our course brings us that far. As for now i wanted to make sure we had All of the information on the game's inner workings and treasures obtained and monsters to fight seem a pretty large part of that.

While this doesn't include the other objects, it does gives a decent map and an easy way to go about it.

Here is where a program would probably be very useful for any aspiring modder.

Geez! I apologize for taking so long to get to you let me explain...

I wanted to subscribe to this topic because the project you and I have setup is really intriguing to me and I would love to see this through and be notified of your responses, but unfortunately when I went to subscribe it was using an email address which was shut down and when I went to change the email it kicked me out immediately and said I needed a validation email sent to my account. Well I tried this... at least 5 times and nothing was sent. At first I thought it was the forum Administration being paranoid about who is who so they personally looked at each of these validations before sending them... that wasn't the case. I waited patiently though, hoping for some response back to my query to Administration but 24 hours passed so I decided that I had enough, I looked for answers outside of the system and it turns out that my email address uses some really strict blocking mechanisms that can't be changed and unfortunately the validation emails I sent never received. So I made a new email account and a new account so I'll need to talk with the administration about recovering my account, but in the meantime...

That is some grade A work you have done! You won't know this but one of the now defunct pictures shows exactly what you have displayed there with the Book of Twilight cutscene. .hack// may be one of the oddest games in that its cutscenes are "objects" The reason that occurred was because you called a cutscene inadvertently during normal gameplay and that starts to happen... yeah, .hack// is a weird game.

1300 does indeed return to normal gameplay... I thought I had said this earlier? No matter, yes it is a great way to break free of an event.

Your formatting for the Orca Tutorial is easy to read and well accomplished!

And your Event Command List is looking good, if not slightly lacking in a few matters as there's a few things you found out that's not in that list.

All in all thought great work! I have not been sitting on my laurels doing nothing though either. I had this ready to go late last night, but better late than never. It is the remainder of the Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field event before the Skeith event.

And my previous post on the last page has been updated with my own findings on the Orca Tutorial, should be interesting to compare and contrast... is what I would like to say, but I don't have access to that account at the moment, hehe. So I'll put them here.

And the dungeon events...

I thought you just took a break , good luck getting in contact with admins though.
I haven't done any work since then. xD I'll start work sometime tomorrow.

Alright, good work I'll start reading the findings tomorrow!

Oh hey. Had no idea this topic started back up again. Impressive work. Sadly, I've been really busy with work(somehow these people have made stocking groceries overnight a 12+ hour affair every day), and when I'm not busy with work, I'm attempting to finish the missing stuff in the Fragment Lobby Server.

No problem. I'll be away for a couple of days so that should give you some time to sift through my (hopefully readable!) notes. I'm curious to see what you come up with.

Ah NCDyson! You have no idea how much I appreciated the work you put into getting //Fragment up and running. I just wish my computer (and internet) were a little better. I did play a bit of //Fragment online though, even made it to Level 8 or so (I think the death penalty is a bit much though... Loss of a level each time you die past Level 1? What were they thinking?), I really enjoyed it though. I am ultimately hoping that our efforts here help make //Fragment a more moddable game with custom events and the like.

When you have time though I would really love to know though how you got //Fragment models into //Infection. Having a whole new cast of characters would be a rather neat idea for a mod since I imagine the portraits are more than simple to change.

-snip-

I had no idea Fragment was working / had a server to connect to. Looked it up and it seems ColdBird has a patch for it.
But unfortunately, the one DEV9 plugin I found crashes PCSX2, so I can't get it working.

Also, your notes are very readable, don't worry. xD

I'll edit this post with any findings I get today.

Edit 1: Comparing our results on EventTbl03, I found some difference.
the 47 Command is for turning actors:
47 00 (ACT 00 00) (θX 00 00) (τX 00 00) - Turn Actor (ACT)

The reason why it doesn't make any difference in EventTbl03, is because they turn the actors to 0, which they are already facing.

Also: It would appear I got Fragment to work after having to download PCSX2 as a Binary.
I think I'll look into some of the stuff on it.
Joined server under the name: Surippu :3 heh.

Wait, is NCDyson the one maintaining this?

Edit 2: Got no progress today, rip.

[NCDyson]

I've done a lot of work on the lobby server, and got rid of the B.S. Improper logout penalty for online/offLine mode, as well as a few other minor tweaks to the game (the patch for the texture hacked Mia one of the staff members created and uses, which is actually kind of a proof of concept for the fact that we can add playable character models to fragment with some limitations)

I meant to do a quick write-up/ finish the python script to make swapping character models in from fragment today, but was busy with personal stuff. Hopefully I can get that accomplished tomorrow. It's actually really easy to do, especially with the python script I wrote to rebuild the data.bin and its associated tables.

Sadly, fragment doesn't have much of an active player base after the initial novelty of it wore off.

Nice. Yay for Python scripts, if you make the scripts, is there someone you'll publish them? It'd allow me to learn about the data.bin format by reading it.
Fragment doesn't have much of an active player base right now, and I think I have a few reasons why:

• Difficulty of setting up Fragment. The DEV9 Plugin is glitchy and requires some work just to get it to load, the Network Setup is actually the easy part.
• Problem finding copies of the game.
• Connection Problems with the server, leading in disconnects such as Error Code 6000 (I don't exactly remember the code); which cause the player to be unable to login to the server after restarting the emulator (for some reason the server seems convinced the player is still online, there are 0202 packets sent to the server repeatedly while a player is online, if the 0202 packets stop making it then that would mean the player is offline).
• Missing features: Mail, News, BBS, Guilds, Ranking which lead the player to think it's very early beta.
• Game Lag during gameplay might be a turn-off for some players. Such as killing a monster takes around 6 seconds to give EXP.
• Lack of players: This game is very difficult to level in, so it would be nice to have some teammates to show up.
• No Patch Logs: Is the game making progress? Or is it just abandoned? It would be nice to see an active log showing progress from the devs.
• Gameplay Problems: EXP from monsters is divided by 10, causing lots of difficulty and making the game a grind-fest, especially at early levels. The best grind place for newbies is: Putrid, PassedOver, AquaFieldd (<- who typed this stuff? So many typos), and even at the Lv.1 area, you have to spend a good hour and a half to get close to the next level, and death means losing 50% of your EXP at lv.1. Also, stats make it to where your character is very weapon dependent, getting a better weapon means a ton easier gameplay, but even one-shotting everything your level and getting 6 EXP each makes it a very long and grindy process. Death Penalty is way too extreme for how much time it takes. Also, if your player goes to a Lv.20 area and starts killing monsters there, the most EXP they'll give is 50.
• Security Problems: A lot of values are purely client-side, meaning cheating is bound to happen. Stats, ranging from HP to Elemental Tolerances, Inventory and GP are client-side. EXP appears to not be client-side and behaves differently to modification. Though, I deleted that test character, so don't worry about me abusing this.
• Lack of Developmental Understanding: I'm not sure if you're to keep your findings completely private, but without publishing any data, no one else can show up and give you information about what you're stuck on or help develop in any sort of way. Also, there is just quite a bit of understanding issues with the game itself, such as: What is an Area Server? What is a Lobby Server? How do they interact? Does my computer connect me to a different server if I choose a different Area (Mac Anu compared to something else?), what is the potential of this game in modding terms? Can events be made? Just how much control does the people with the server have over the gameplay? This kind of thing scares Developers from jumping into the scene and experimenting.

Edit: When I try to connect to Mac Anu, I get Error Code 6039 (only occurs if I use the character that got dc'd)

What was the penalty prior? Personally I always thought //Fragment's death system should have been like how the games and shows Say "The World"'s system works. When you are defeated you are "sent back to where you last saved". BT says as such in the very first episode of //SIGN, and it feels like a much fairer form of punishment to lose everything you obtained while on that particular adventure rather than lose an Entire Level which can take up to 3 or 4 dungeon dives. (Where your Gott Treasure was probably useless for your class, if you made it) But... maybe that's just me. I don't see anyone else complaining about dying too much.

You had discussed something like a swapper a long time ago, I had no idea you were that close to completion on the swapper though! Now will this program require understanding of Python to effectively use? Or will it be a streamlined GUI?

Also, here are today's efforts. I got started a bit late though. It follows all the way up to the end of the BlackRose and Hulle Granz events. Oy, this took a while. Some interesting, albeit useless things figured out here and there though.

Follows right where the previous notes left off.

EDIT:

Model editing sounds tough. :/ but the information you gave makes sense because when certain weapons are equipped on characters (that aren't of their original class), the models don't display. Though, some weapons from the Heavy Blade class will display the highlight when equipped on Kite. Haven't tested that on the other characters though.

I happened upon the answer to your older query. Do you recall the info. on name labels and all of that? Well after a little bit of looking I saw that these pointers in the data look at these names to create the weapon model, for instance...

Say I have the Kikuichimonji equipped. It's internal graphic pointer is 00E89B6D - This is saying that its graphic label is at 006D9BE8, this is backed up by the strange "number label" in the SLUS, of course in the emulator it's in 20XXXXXX range. What you will see at 206D9BE8 is cw2hkt00. Character Weapon 2 handed Katana 00, basically is what I think that means.

In any event you can now change that graphic for another.

Wait... you may have already known this. It seems most weapons can be changed in this manner, but there are some exceptions, staves and dual weapons don't seem to play well with the blade wielding classes, I haven't really tried it beyond the Heavy Blade though.

However should we ever be able to replace textures, there are a couple of weapon textures that are plain copies (someone got lazy...)

Here's the list.

cw1hsw11 - Copy of basic sword (cw1hsw00) Blademaster

cw2hax12 - All copies of basic ax (cw2hax00)

cw2hkt02 - Surprisingly a copy of a basic katana (cw2hkt00), but there are a lot more Katana types than this.
cw2hkt03 
cw2hkt07 
cw2hkt08 - There you have it. Four of the Nine katana graphics are copies of the original. Someone got lazy...

 
cw2hpw09 - Copy of Second Spear Type cw2hpw01
cw2hpw10 - Copy of Basic Spear cw2hpw00
cw2hpw11 - " "
cw2hpw12 - " "

cw2hax09 - Copy of Basic ax (cw2hax00)

Slight Note: While testing I decided to change him to Skeith, just for fun. It turns out that Skeith's actor (all phase actors likely) have an inherent Stop All Action and Focus Camera event upon death. If you place a continuing event after Skeith's death you can continue on instead of being softlocked.

And I am about back up to where I lost my original notes. I think I'm a bit smarter in understanding matters now however.

[Xu Yuan]

I have some somewhat exciting news, I've managed to find all of a Skill's parameters! I tested this first with the "ATTACK" skill (which, as it sounds is a the normal attack) and moved on from there

I can say that skills are 38 bytes (in hex) and it seems they will be fairly easy to change. So far my tests have yielded some great results including Attack Bonus, Accuracy Bonus, Animation to use, SP Cost, Elemental, Elemental Hit Bonus, and more!

Unfortunately magic may be a bit sparse... I've only made it to Recovery magic, but it's not looking promising thus far...

(Analysis - The game has a preponderance of favoring the Twin Blade in terms of skills.
The Blademaster gains slightly more range on his or her skills, but sacrifices the 80% effectiveness that
the Twin Blade's skills have and instead have only only 60% effectiveness. And they lack one full hit in 
their basic skill 2 for the Blademaster and 3 for the Twin Blade. This holds true for the first few skills
The elemental skills seem to favor the Blademaster in terms of raw damage. with higher base damage, but still
their percentage of damage is less than the Twin Blade.)

(Analysis: Axel Pain is really good, with a 150% Bonus to Attack and a full 100% effectiveness,
it even has the potential of multi-hit, the issue of course is that Heavy Axemen have no accuracy
to speak of and this skill gives none of that.)

NcDyson when you get a chance i need a copy of hackstract as it appears to hack completely disappeared from the net o.O

Did HackPics not work? That would be odd considering it was meant to be an upgrade to Hackstract, don't worry I still have it and can upload it...

http://jmp.sh/IKuWt1M

I am still flummoxed how voices work. I'd expect it to be as simple as switching two files as it is for player character (technically...) but it seems a little more complicated than that.

Well my copy of hackpics makes everything green x.x

also from version number i had assumed that hackpics was older.

also imo hackpics is horrible in many ways compared to hackstract

hackstract is much more organized and you can choose what file to open instead of being forced to have the file in the same directory

what version of hackpics do you have? cause mine seems like a ripoff (see image below that hackpics gave me)

[Xu Yuan]

Yeah... I loaded up //Fragment myself to see if it would do that in my version of HackPics... it did. Hackstract lays everything out so nice and orderly... HackPics does not. Maybe the two are backwards, but I don't understand then why later versions would be a downgrade rather than an upgrade?

What amuses me about //Fragment's files is all of the wastes of space present, there are still a great number of pictures that are referencing the game themselves which can't ever show up in //Fragment in the first place. What is strangest is the News though, they're all in English. Nothing else in the files really are and this doesn't strike me as something the fan translators of //Fragment would have bothered with.

Yeah XD

i found the file i was looking for in hackstract
BUT
transparency rekt ;w;


i want "The World" Symbol thats in the bottom right

I found what i believe to be the right file however


the transparency isnt showing and i have no idea how to get it to show x.x

Also thank you for the hackstract upload :3

[Xu Yuan]

You mean the symbol isn't supposed to show up in washed out fashion? I was always under the impression it was meant to.

I noticed that you're quite active on the //Fragment boards, I had thought the changes to my computer wouldn't let me access any longer, but that appears to not be the case and my Level 9 Wavemaster is alive and well. Would this form of data-mining as I've done for .hack//Infection have any practical use that you can think of for //Fragment? I may not be a great hacker, but I'm a pretty good data miner.

I thank you as well, i hope i can get involved in this soon... As i have texted you before, Xu Yuan...

I'm just posting because something bothers me about that image... Inside the O in TheWorld... Is that a Penis?

I know, so immature, but i just had to point it out...

That and to make public my fanboyism, i enjoy reading this thread as i find it really interesting... And i can't wait to see your findings as for the voices

Well the reason i want it to be transparent is for this http://hack.ilp.moe

so that it shows up here

the same way there HOWEVER

it actually looks like this atm because the transparency isn't there http://jsfiddle.net/74wr8ya1/42/
;w; see what i mean?

Btw this is for this thread http://forum.coldbird.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1901 my last push to gitpush 4 fixed a few warnings caused by carelessness on coldbird and ncdyson's part (hasn't been merged yet because they have been busy)

I wanted to make it more .hack ish if you know what i mean

cause

http://coldbird.net:49000 is too plain

also you can still access mine that way http://hack.ilp.moe:49000
its just being proxy passed

oh also one of my pushes to my unmerged push 4 added 404 pages for web clients (basically to make it act more like a webserver >.>)

As for the data mining I'm pretty sure that would be beneficial for this http://forum.coldbird.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1976 However coldbird has not yet agreed to this. If you wish to ask him yourself you can do so, he lists his skype and google email on his forums.

I'm also pretty sure that it will help us shed some light on some questions we still haven't answered yet. So imo yes i think it would be beneficial for you to data mine fragment.

Um no its actually this area in the background


or at least i believe (hope) it is

[Xu Yuan]

Ah, I see to make the server status look more official, I like those aesthetic touches, good work! However I think there's a little bit of confusion here...

When I say data-mining i mean finding the stats of items, monsters, characters, equipment, etc. Making custom events, custom dungeons (granted that can be done with the Area Server, unfortunately it doesn't work for me), seeing how each field's treasure value is determined, that sort of thing. When it comes to actual network dealings and all of that I am a dunce, I embarrassingly understood very little of what's going in that github code for instance.

Thank you for the encouragement Azure-Kite, here is a little sneak peek of what I've been working on... it's basically complete as far as the swap is concerned, I just need to get these voices right!



As for that symbol...


I never thought it was Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground, I thought it was the Bell Tower in Mac Anu, since the rest of the image appears to be showing a silhouetted town and the bell tower really stands out in Mac Anu as seen from this picture...

Oh my bad

I still say yes to the data mining though if you can. It will be interesting to see what you can find and do.

Also yes mac Anu seems more appropriate.

Any chance someone can tell me if i grabbed the right image? for "The World" Logo and if i did can someone explain how to make the black show the transparency it should have?

also i find it funny the fragments data file has all the stuff from everything .hack

[Xu Yuan]

I'll take a look over the next couple of days then.

As far as I can tell that should be the right image as it shows up with all of the login information, the game uses black as a transparency, that much is clear as the sword also has the same black around it.

So, quick google search of "image transparency" lead me here...

http://www.online-image-editor.com/

I click on Transparency, got rid of all the black and this is what I came up with.
