Author Topic: Reverse-engineering the RA2 executable. (Read 7646 times)

Hallo,

I got bored today and decided to do some reverse-engineering of the RA2 executable in order to modify some hardcoded stuff, mainly:
- 7 component limit
- weight classes

If anyone has more idea what useful .exe modification could be made, let me know. For now this thread will just be my notes and various info about the executable.

Think if the seven part limit went away...
this could be the beginning of RA3!

This is going to be the most epic thing to happend to RA2 in its whole history!

Also, I think Jonzu is wither high or he is confusing Red Alert with Robot Arena, because both are shortened RA

Oh, Oh! See if you can make a burst motor take CO2 instead of electricity!

Yeah, Maybe some kind of Auto-AIer...
Like it gives you options to define your bot with like a sheet were you sketch your bot (Were the weapons are, What type of bot it is) so you could like say when the motors get turned on or something instead of having to script it yourself xP

Ofcourse, Scripting it yourself would be more personalized & therefore a more advanced AI :P

1. Allow animated gifs for bot skins.

2. Install a better online server for lag-less online play.
