Battle size changer - update 10/08
« on: August 29, 2005, 09:06:25 PM »
 
I made a little utility which allows you to change the battle size beyond it's designed bounds. To use it, unpack it in your M&B directory and run. .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0 beta is required. (You can get .NET Framework here.)

Update 10/8
- .NET 1.1 is now needed
- Battle size is now shown as an actual number, not a percentage.

Update 10/5
- 0.7xx compatible

Download at the MB File Repository site.

Other remarks:
* If you wonder how to change it yourself with a HEX editor, it is a float value, by default ranging between 0.0 and 1.0. You can find it in a file called options.dat at bytes 0x50 through 0x54.

The battle size is a float value, by default ranging between 0.0 and 1.0. However it can exceed this limit if you manually edit the options.dat file. So for those who can HEX-edit, it is a float value at bytes 4c through 4f, and it has reversed byte order for some reason.

The rest can download my config, which has battle size 5.0, that is 500% of the max value. However it crashes randomly :), so I suggest you should rather download this 200% battle size version. Simply backup your original file in the M&B directory and replace it with this. Also you will have to set up your options again (but don't touch the battle size slider, who knows what would that do).

Last note: I hope you guys have better computers than me, because it was unplayable on my poor AMD 2400+/GeForce 6600/1GB Ram.


Very cool, I looked in options.dat for a way to do this when I was first messing with the .rsf files and I figured it was there somewhere but I didn't bother looking hard.
