I would like to modify the value of the main character stats (ST, EN, CH...) points you are starting with while creating new player (there is 5 to utilize orginally). Can anyone tell me at what offset in Fallout2.exe can I find variable storing main character stats value???
Or use one of the character editors immediately after starting a new game.
It doesn't seem to be in the executable, at least not in the same format as save.dat and .gcd files use. In master.dat/premade/ there are 'blank.gcd' and 'player.gcd', though the game doesn't appear to use them for the default character. You could edit one of them and load it in the character creation screen.
well i have heard that mac and pc offsets are different but this will give you an idea of where or how there located on mac and then you can work off that (they're not that different after all)
first, the easiest way i have found to directly get to those stats is to just open the save.dat file in a hex editor and look for FP in ASCII, this is located in EVERY mac file and always has the SPECIAL after it. try making a character with a 10 strength or luck. this will make it easier to find the start or end of the SPECIAL offsets in the file. make the rest 5. now after you locate FP you should see something that looks like this (if you had a strength of 10)
0A 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
05 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 05
each byte you see here stands for a stat. 0A in hex is equall to 10 so
you can see its pretty self explanatory after this point. also heres just the raw offsets for the mac version BEFORE walking into the temple in arroyo.
The Mac and PC versions of save.dat are very similar, so the known documentation is equally useful for either one. However, there are a few small differences that make them incompatible, so you can't move a game fron one platform to the other.
