how to reduce power?

Post by treska32 »

Hi!

For some reason, i don't know how, but somehow I got full power (100000) while playing camping (like cheat superpower). Sounds like bug but i am not sure. This action of course spoils the game, so can you recommend me please, what to do to reduce power back to normal (to 0 is also OK).

Thank you! :)

Spend it on weapons and beer for your friends!

It is a known bug. Maybe fixed in trunk. Third times the charm!

What version was that? 2.3.1 or an older one? I guess some hex-editing could fix the savegames, if someone finds the right offset.

huh i have 2.3.0 :P. I didn't recognize that there is new version around... I see that there is power calculation fix inside. I will update it, however this probably won't reduce power in my save game, so i am still looking for this solution. I see that there is power calculation fix inside.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, other than hex editing, there's nothing I can suggest. I can put in a cheat code for it in 2.3.2, but I don't think that'll be released for another few weeks.

The power is in the .gam file of the savegame, a 32 bit big endian number at offset 0x34. You can just overwrite it with zeroes, or put e.g. 00 00 10 00 there for 4096 power.

(And one thread is enough.)
