I've got a couple of games (free, but closed source) that I'm editing to alter a certain feature so its less annoying. It's essentially Paused - Sorry can't do anything! thing. I've messed around with disassem\debuggers and found the JNE code that controls this, which I can edit to JMP to bypass the annoying behavior. Thing is there's about ~30 instances in every file, and the position and # can vary from file to file, and it gets tedious to do it. I've found 2 patterns that will find all the instances:
84 C0 74 ** B8 ** ** 4A 00
84 C0 74 ** E8 ** ** ** 00
Changing the 74 to EB is what I want to do.
84 C0 EB ** B8 ** ** 4A 00
84 C0 EB ** E8 ** ** ** 00
I've spent some time looking at various hex editors (Windows) but havent found any with this sort of functionality. Is there a scripting language that would help? Or some program I haven't found yet? (I know some c#\vb\java, so not that big of a leap)
Thanks! Though there is no warranty, no checksums, and afaik, disassembly and modification are legal, under personal use\non distribution etc. This 'feature' was requested to the dev to be made optional, but it will take months to convince them, and months more for a new build. It's extremely annoying to me, and I prefer to fix it myself right now :D – Kage – 2011-08-24T07:22:10.360
