Editing elevator data, is there a way to do it?

[Corpse]

Thanks to ColJack for his tutorial on elevators and I understand the elevator data is hardcoded; but is there anyone who knows where this data is? is it in the .exe file, master.dat? and more important; does anyone have any clue how to edit it?

Long time ago there was o nice discusion about this anf this is some info i have:

'k Here's what I have so far.. [Fallout2.exe version is 1.02 US]

Everything is just a list- that is, everything is just [Data for elevator1][DataForElevator2], etc.

Buttons Count: 2ee1C (Fallout2.exe) 37ccc (mapper2.exe)
[00-03] # of buttons for each elevator

Elevator Image: 2ed5c (fallout2.exe) 37c0c (mapper2.exe)
[00-03] Base image to use (In \art\intrface\INTRFACE.LST)
[04-07] Button panel image overlay (In \art\intrface\INTRFACE.LST) (FFFF FFFF if none- that is, to use just the base image button panel)

Everything below has 4 entries per elevator- one for each possible button the elevator can have. The description is per button

Button Keys- 2f2fc (fallout2.exe) 381ac (mapper2.exe)
[00-00] Character to use for keyboard input for that button (00 if N/A)

Button Destinations:
Dest: 2ee7c (fallout2.exe) 37d2c (mapper2.exe)
Format:
[00-03] Target Map ID (0000 0000 if N/A)
[04-07] Target Elevation (0000 0000 if N/A)
[08-0B] Target Tile (FFFF FFFF if N/A)


Everything has been tested with two elevators (0 and 5), and all changes have produced the expected results. Haven't had any external (somebody other than me) tests yet, though.
