MFIST series

[CamDawg]

Monk fists are hardcoded. They use the MFIST1-8 items; MFIST8 is not available in SoA. I couldn't find any documentation as to which fist is active at various levels, so I did a bit of research. Someone with Tutu/BGT can investigate monk fists for the first 6 levels; this research starts with the monk's SoA starting level of 7.

 

7-8: MFIST3

9-11: MFIST4

12-14:MFIST5

15-17: MFIST6

18-24: MFIST7

25+: MFIST8

 

Thought we might want to document this somewhere in IESDP.

A quick look a BGMAIN.exe tells me that this is probably customizable.

 

There are ~40 (41, but I may have miscounted) mfist# entries--one for each level, I think. So, mfist1 appears twice for levels 1-2, mfist2 thrice for levels 3-5 etc.

Yes, you can overwrite those fields one for each monk level.

A quick question: what hex editing software are you guys using? The three programs I've tried are all absolutely useless, claiming they cannot find any instances of MFIST in BGMAIN.exe

[Avenger]

For a quick scan i simply use total commander/F3

Ah, I just discovered that BGMAIN.exe on my main system had become corrupt after using a NO CD utility. A quick check of BGMAIN.exe on my laptop revealed that the utilities I've tried work just fine .

[Grim Squeaker]

I use XVI32.

[NiGHTMARE]

Yep, that's one of the ones I tried. Hex Workshop seems to be slightly more to my preference, though.
