My Time With Meta...

Post by TLove2487 »

Wow. Meta drives me crazy. I was playin with it for like 3 hours yesterday, AND i did get somewhere, but really got me no where.

I finally figured out how to get to the actual Meta data. Incase anybody doesn't know how to do this I'll just post it below.
I'M ON BLOOD GULCH!
I was tryin to edit the rocket (UNDER PROJECTILES) meta.
You take the value of the rocket projectile : 6C3B7340
Reverse it (12345678 to 78563412) so you get : 40733B6C
Now take that number and subtract the magic of Blood Gulch.
40733B6C - 3FBEE68C = 00B454E0 (you add the 00 infront).
Now thats the offset to get there. So then I just started comparing meta data of the rocket projectile to pistol projectile.

I did 2 things tryin to search for speed. One - removed the entrail of the rocket, and Two - removed the sound of an explostion.

Now I agree, these two items don't help me at all, but now I know how to get there.

Now My Question For People Who Know All About Meta:

How many lines of data do you compare when comparing two objects?

Well hopefully the SDK is coming out soon, but if you don't like waiting then take up meta. Its really not that hard to understand. It's only hard to find things.
