To Moogie:
I am not sure how sending the values to me to add to my patch would be better than you releasing your own patch.
Probably the only way this would be better if your version would be for 1.20, but your private message suggests it would either be for 1.30 or for all versions at once.
If the result of this will be released to the public the thief would obviously have access to it, too.
I guess I can't stop you from releasing your patch, though. At least it wouldn't be my fault if the thief will steal this...
I am also not sure why would you give us credit.
For achieving the increased draw distance first?
You are doing this mostly independently, though.
For the hints?
Maybe.
I guess one of the reasons they don't discuss the game here is that the thief tried to remove information about this site even from sites that he doesn't own.
Though, if I remember correctly, for some reason some players asked questions in the thief's forum even about things they found at bawsite.com.
To Kratzean:
They are not useless. Most of the code seems to be the same. Finding the same code in other versions is easy enough. BaW Patch even modifies the different .exe files the same way and doesn't check which version of the game an .exe file is from.
The main differences are probably which registers are used and the memory locations of values.
I found a log where you mentioned he found out that you increased the draw distance and wanted to add it to "his fanpatch".
I am not sure why you don't know how to find in B&W the values you found in CI.
Near the values that you want to find in B&W find something that should be the same in both CI and B&W, such as relative jump instructions ("jz", "jnz" and others). Then try to search for bytes of those instructions. If there are too many results, find something else to search for.
