Title: Prometheus is here!


Prometheus - August 12, 2008 05:08 PM (GMT)
hi!-new here, guess......

already got some nice cheats for vcs and also lcs, .......great thing, thanks to all writting them....
it`s time to write my own cheats, hope I`ll be able to.......
a first question, if somebody is reading that and nowing the answer, pls tell me......I`ll also post this question somewhere else.....
here it is: I have never worked with C, but I think this won`t be a problem, but to make cheats you have to change something in the game....... like time, or gamespeed...
located with a kind of hex code...... but how do I get this code?-for examble, which code stands for the gamepseed, or whatever..... pls help...


sry for this english, might not be the best........ :rolleyes:

Li'l Freak - August 12, 2008 07:51 PM (GMT)
There is a hex editor built into the cheatdevice.
They don't label the hex coding with words. such as gamespeed, walking speed etc.
You will have to play with the hex to figure out what does what.
Once you figure out that then you can turn it into a code.

Prometheus - August 12, 2008 10:12 PM (GMT)
thx for answering.
that will take a lot of time, maybe its possible to start a thread collecting the known codes......or is there already something like that?

I believe there is a massive list displaying a lot of objects for construction mode.
I am unaware of any list that points out what hex locations are which.
That is a rather good idea.
But at the same time would take a lot of hard work and time.

I'm sorry to say at this point LCS and VCS aren't that big or 'active' anymore.
I believe emcp gave you an instruction on how to take memory dumps. They help a lot when looking for certain things.

Prometheus - August 13, 2008 07:52 AM (GMT)
maybe it`ll grow again.....hope so.......

just downloading a hex editor, .........sure it will help me a bit......

maybe you know already some hex locations, if, so , pls tell me some, .....so I wouldn`t have to start at point zero. I`d prefer codes for vcs, but I take everything *gg*

Although the comunity is getting smaller and smaller I hope there are enough members left to help me getting some codes.......... woul take some work.....

I`ll start a hex-location-collection thread (long name, maybe it should be shorter....), hope there will be some codes in it........

some mod for a cheat forum <_<

there are lists, most are in the cheat development section
-_-

although theres a larger list missing
finding now...

Well if you know what your doing and can convert hex to regular letters (hex workshop on a pc) Then it kinda does talk to you!

Prometheus - August 15, 2008 08:46 AM (GMT)
hope I know what I do....... ...no risk no fun... *gg*

just downloading a programm, which, I hope is able to help......

hope I`ll be able to script with C, usually writting with visual basics.......... should`nt be a problem...

a question to another theam:is it possible to get both cheatdevices (lcs and vcs) at the same time on my psp? I have tried it by writting the path into the game.txt under the existing line but then it got mixed up with the line above......

you can have them both on the psp

but you cant activate both of them at the same time, otherwise you wont have sound and the home button (i think) wont work

what fw are you on

Prometheus - August 15, 2008 03:35 PM (GMT)
my aktual firmware is 33m3.90 by dark alex, if I try to put both on the psp they get mixed up.I can write the path of one .prx into the game.txt without troubles, but when I try to ad a new line with the path of the second plugin the plugin screen at the recoverymenu writes wrong things: it looks like that:

ms0:\SEplugins\...\vcscheatdevice.prx [enabled] [disabled]
bled]

I also tried to write two lines containig only one word ( test1 [] test2), it wrote the correct lines:

test1
test2

but trying it with the full path of the two plugins made it wrong......

I searched the web for information about this and found some telling about:
usually you can put up to 5 plugins on your psp, but some plugins don`t work with others.....

the cheatdevice might be one of them....

i have atleast 10 and have ha more, no problems

recovery doesnt load the plugins, therefore plugin compatibility is not the problem
its either a bad bug in the recovery menu.

UPGRADE AND DUMP 1.5 KERNEL (if you have it, i didnt want to give it up but its the best thing, dont think about it just do it)

also open you game.txt and paste this

ms0://seplugins/lcscheatdevice.prx
ms0://seplugins/vcscheatdevice.prx


make sure you rename the prx to vcs/lcscheatdevice

as the lcs might just be called cheatdevice or even lcscheatdevice271.prx

or something similar
but no ive never heard of that bug
and the above post i couldnt actually understand, also its

3.90m33 not 33m3.90

Prometheus - August 15, 2008 08:11 PM (GMT)
I`ll try, .........one (noob) question.....maybe it`s the alcohol........

how do I know which kernel is installed, and how to dum and uprade it.............

I know I have been able to do this befor.....but that was the past

edit:just looked trough your post again... why the "\\" after "mso:" , I thougt it`s donw by one "\", or "/" ..................

when addressing ms0://

it can some time take a fit, so far ms0://, seems to work best so i just keep using it

also a dumb ass question, but you are putting a 0 not a o

Prometheus - August 16, 2008 08:32 AM (GMT)
I am able to change the game-folder kernel to 1.50, now it`s 3.90, is that what you mean? haven`t worked often with customfirmware.......
what am I talking....... I`try it and if it doesn`t work I`ll ask again....

edit: yea, it works....... thx for help

edit: damn, doesn`t work either........ I can choose them in the recovery but they don`t
work.......

for the last time, UPDATE YOUR CFW
you are using an old CFW it time to update to 4.01m33-2, that is the latest

you should beable to use DA updater, providing you dont have cxmb, with you have cxmb, disable it or take the mem stick out when the psp boots, and put it back in after

the M33 updaters should be under the network category not the system category, thats the offical one

Prometheus - August 16, 2008 12:35 PM (GMT)
sry, firmware was already actual...... wrote the false firmware.....
I tried a bit writing the paths different, now it works, so the problem is out of world, thx

another question: not all spwan cheats at the cheat device work, for examble every spawned bike I enter gives a crash, and helis don`t fly, they drive kinda like a car
I have googled a bit aurround and found that there are more guys having similiar problems.....
also some other cheats don`t work, like hovercars, ...gives a crash
do you know something new about that?

Could have had the answer with out the sarcastic insult.
Also.. Don't insult the new members. It's no wonder why this forum is so inactive. God damn people are so freaking mean to new users.

as far as spawns:
We know of helicopters not flying. Bikes usually crash or spawn with no tires and don't work.


As far as hovercars not working I'm not sure. This is the first I have heard of that. Have you tried it more than once? Was outcome the same?

Prometheus - August 17, 2008 09:23 AM (GMT)
tried it sometimes, also with different cheats, like hovercars, hovercars!, or some other sounding similiar... *gg*, result was nearly the same: a crash or it slowed down the game without working..... maybe the cheats need more speed?

edit: might be interresting: my. firmware is 4.01m33, using vcscheatdevice 2.4, just looking for the actualst version of lcscheatdevice

damn i forgot about that, try a garage spawn with 2 teleport cheats

basically, find the garage you can access, im not sure whether your restricted to parts of the city on mp, so its up to you

if you can go to any safehouse/ garage, the devs may have left the ability to spawn cars in the garage, so

write a quick cheat which spawns a hunter in the garage (use the lists i made)
when you press a button combination it send you to the garage, enter the car press the button combination again to send you back to your previous position
(infact have it detect when youve entered the vehicle, so you dont need the second button combination)

it should be a good starter cheat
O and have it when you are teleported back, the cheat turns off
youd be looking for a loop, inorder be make that possible

all the things a good starter project has

Prometheus - August 17, 2008 09:11 PM (GMT)
I have worked a bit with C, and created this (by taking other cheats and changing them...):

#cheat Spawn hunter at save-house
if(buttons & CTRL_RTRIGGER)
{
setfloat(pplayer+0x30, 247.89, -173.69, 28.95);
pspawn = 0x08E81290;
setint(pspawn, 275);
setfloat(pspawn + 0x4, 246.63, -180.68, 28.95, 0);
setfloat(pplayer+0x30, 401.65, -128.22, 11.02);
}

now it should teleport to the hunter, but when it teleports exact after spawning the hunter there is no hunter...... I think it needs some time to load the hunter, but how am I able to scribt that it should wait until the hunter is loaded?

a frame timer might work simply a simple example

Time=1;
Time++
if(Time == 23){
//do something
Time=1
#off
}

anyway try placing the teleport cheat after the spawn cheat, thats the most likely cause

Prometheus - August 18, 2008 09:05 AM (GMT)
so it should look like this:

pspawn = 0x08E81290;
setint(pspawn, 275);
setfloat(pspawn + 0x4, 246.63, -180.68, 28.95, 0);
Time=1;
Time++
if(Time == 23)
{
setfloat(pplayer+0x30, 401.65, -128.22, 11.02);
Time=1
#off
}

first without the button

edit: tried it like that.......gives a ERROR :
missing ; befor {: {

where can it be missing?-between if-clouse and "{" ?
I have tried the spawn cheat without the timer adn it works......so the mistake
must be at the timer......
I am usually writting in visual basics..... so maybe I can guess where the
mistake is:
time++ adds one to time, but I think this must stay in a loop?-am I correct?

Li'l Freak - August 18, 2008 03:56 PM (GMT)
Well.
I'm not huge with C or C++.
But from using code it looks like you are missing a semi colon at the end of time=1.
Should be Time=1;

Also Your increment Time++ I'm not sure but that might need a semi colon too. Not sure about in C though.

Prometheus - August 18, 2008 05:06 PM (GMT)
that might be..... maybe I should get some C tutorials..........seems like work.....think I`m too lacy for.....

I think you are right... let`s see

edit:your were right,that was one problem...... a loop isn`t needed cause it`s already
there: as long as the cheat is activated it runs it again and again...until it is set
off by the last if-clouse with the timer...... there where some more mistakes
which all now all found B) now it`s working....... not really great and without
failures, but working :D :) only some changes then it`ll work without troubles...


so it`s time for new work.......and this starts, like ever, with some questions....:

I want the cheat to creat the hunter, teleport you to the hunter (what already works..) and, if possible, enter the hunter and bring you back to the position where the cheat was started.......

there I need to save the coorcinates of the position where the cheat was started:
how can I get the seperated x, y and z coordinates of a position....?
Is it possible to make vic entering the hunter by the scribt?

edit:just tried it some times........ doesn`t work often enough....... full of troubles....damn...
theres no problem by spawning things also no problem by teleporting.....
but I need the hunter to be at the coordinates: 246.63, -180.68, 28.95
then, when teleporting to 244.44, -176.93, 28.95 there shuld be a hunter.....but it isn`t.......:(
when I use superjump to fly away of position and then fly back theres the hunter....but I need it to be there when teleporting to the coordinates......
I have tried teleporting from position to position, waiting at every position some time.....but still no hunter... ;)
pls, can somebody write a working code so I can find a solution? :rip: :wacko: :unsure:
