[Upaluppa]

thanks UP..i will try it..if it works,i let you know!!

@Robert_Kendo:
Ok!
I wanted to keep it simple for your first try.

I'll tell you about some more complicated stuff when we get this one working!
If there are any problems you can just send me another mail!


@All others:
Sorry for talking about "private" matters here in this thread, but I guess it should pay out for everyone if Robert can show us more secrets of this game with the help of some hacking tricks!

thanks UP..i will try it..if it works,i let you know!!

thats right,it could be possible to enter this mirror room......it would be nice to know whats inside this room..

PS: I send you a email up.did you get it?

Yes, I have just sent you my response!
If everything goes well, then you should be able to enter this room very soon! I'll help you with this!

I've asked Robert_Kendo if he would let me hack the game, but since he's not going to release a full ISO (I actually support his opinion on this subject) all I could do is modifying some of the .RDT files.

You know, changing the enemies, items, exits and event triggers of a room...
I'd really like to know if we could obtain some fancy alpha build items (wood, wine bottle etc.) and if we could prevent the "To be continued..." screen during the snake fight from appearing...

Then there's also this room on the right side of the main hall which contains the wardrobe in the final build, we could access that one as well...

What kind of update did you expect?

Footage of Robert_Kendo playing the game as Jill?
Like he said, it should be possible to play as Jill with a simple memory hack!

But that doesn't mean that such a code has already been hacked...
I am sorry if this brought up any false hopes...

Not so much a video but maybe confirmation of being able to hack the game to load the model, like an action replay or hex editing job.

Wow nice update! Thanks for showing some of this!

[Upaluppa]

It all depends on how much of the engine was coded. It may be possible to memory hack the beta so it loads in Jill instead of Chris (though good luck finding the 00 that relates to the Player/Scenario) but if Jill's Scenario, lets say for arguement its load code is 01, is coded to use Chris's model, then it doesn't matter if you switch the player, it'll still be Chris.

I was really just thinking about the "Unlock Jill's Scenario" code for the Biohazard 15 Minute Demo when I was posting this...
That code kind of removed the demo restrictions from the title screen/scenario select and allowed the use of the load game and Jill's scenario options.

And then there's also the possibility of finding a character swap mod which simply let's you play with Jill's model.

But to be honest, there's not much of a point in suggesting ways to hack the game if we don't have access to it. I don't even know how much of a difference this build really makes when it comes to memory locations of common things like the used player character, equipped items etc.

Things like saving/loading, a menu screen for items, chests and so on where not implemented in this version, so the memory probably shows huge differences in comparison to the Trial Edition and the final game...

nothing is impossible..i am sure that its not possible to play the jill from the coop modus,but its possible to play the normal jill in this beta version.

He said it could be possible with a hack, so I was asking if there was an update to this. I'm sure Jill's model is in there somewhere....

There is no "playing as Jill"

[Zombie_X]

Nice Robert! Any chance you chance you can share more info on playing as Jill?
