The latest build is built as 32-bit only. I'd like everyone who was having issues before to give this one a try and let me know if it works.

• game crashed when entering the sewers


• restarted savegame in front of sewer entrance without enabling fix


• entered sewers, enabled fix, ran around a little, killed a few rats


• saved

• Added CS:GO plugin. Thanks to HaYDeN for the memory pointers.


• Added GRAW2 plugin. Thanks to HaYDeN for providing the memory pointers.


• Added a plugin for Transformers: War For Cybertron. Currently it only supports automatic display detection and it uses your desktop aspect-ratio. Thanks to HaYDeN for providing the offset needed for this.

I won't mention Skydrift, Mass Effect, Singularity and Sonic Generations....

Thanks for acknowledging the share number of hours invested in some of these titles to fix them (eg. GRAW2) in a entirely obscured SVN log - wouldn't be so bad if you actually asked... or gave credit where credit was due instead of just ripping it off and passing it off as your own work.

Good day, sir.

In the future, I would appreciate it if you would actually look over the source code for my plugins before you accuse me of copying anything. Nothing was ripped off.

Sonic Generations

Now the interesting thing here is, that your fix includes the "Fairlight Crack" version - which was the one I fixed, wonder how that came about.... It's fairly non-typical for you to add cracked version to WSF, once you have a pattern for the cracked version, applying it to steam version for example is as you know a couple of minutes work.

My example:

Code: Select all

   

   alloc(aspectfix,32) //allocate 32 bytes, 28+4

   label(continueexec) //label resume execution

   

   aspectfix: //new memory allocated address

   mov [aspectfix-4], (float)5.33333333 //set aspect ratio

   fdiv dword ptr [aspectfix-4]  //divide

   fstp dword ptr [esp+14] //store

   jmp continueexec //resume

   

   //"codecave"

   "SonicGenerations.exe"+2F2358:

   jmp aspectfix

   nop

   nop

   continueexec:

   

Widescreen Fixer:

Code: Select all

        this.offsetPoke = 0x2F2358;

   

   fld dword ptr [00000000]

   fdivp st(1),st(0)

   fstp dword ptr [esp+14]

   jmp 00000000

   

   

Sure 4-5 bytes difference is enough to call it entirely your own work... without any acknowledgment of the person who spent 4-5 hours finding the solution.

Skydrift

Skydrift is an interesting one, because the fix was found by complete total and utter accident, not something I would consider to be reproducible, it's a float of 1.0 by default - have you ever tried to search a games memory space for the value 1.0? you'll get millions of results.... again another game with 4-5 hours in it, a favor for forum member Skid IIRC.

Uses the offsets:

0x54547C -> 0x40 -> + 0xC8

Widescreen fixer:

Code: Select all

           this.offsetStep0 = 0x54547C;

           this.offsetStep1 = 0x40;

           this.offsetStep2 = 0xC8;

   

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

This is the catalyst that pissed me off - I spent probably 15+ hours on this game as a favor and special request from forum member Thales100, failure was not a option, hence the time invested.

You say you only grabbed the pointers or offsets or whatever, typically they are the entire fix.... they are what took xx hours of my time to find - how long did it take you after having the pointers/offsets to copy and paste? an hour? You didn't have to reverse anything,

Is there any reason though why you would be releasing fixes for games the other person already fixed? It seems like a waste of effort, people will probably pick up whoever's app has the fix already. I don't really see any upside to duplicating work as it just leads to finger pointing and blame games.

Interesting...lot of flames here...What are we actually fighting for here?:)) Copy rights or ??? I mean if a code is branded as open source you can use it without any legal problems giving the credit to the guy that made that piece of code... Am I missing something here ?
I mean is bad enough that we are a couple of guys here that actually provide fixes for the games...fighting between us is even worst...
I said it before...it would be best if we would actually team up and create an unified software rather than 2-3 tools.... but that is just me:)
