Red Eagle LXIX Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It is possible to change a Single Player (Survival SP) game to a multiplayer game through a hex edit. Find the save you want to change from Survival SP. Open main.ttw in a hex editor. At offset 0x000C you will find a value of 6. Change the 6 to a 7. Save main.ttw. Load game and now it will be Survival MP with all the multiplayer options including allowing people to join. Naturally the reverse is true, making an MP game to SP you would change the 7 to a 6.

VonTherodere Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 HxD doesn't have an offset that looks like that. I'm totally a noob at hex editing though. Is there an option to change the view or something I am missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnableScope Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I have been trying to figure out how exactly items are saved in the save games. I notice that sometimes there is items in the save game which the player doesn't even have. Any idea how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See other thread.[/QUOTE] You certainly did, and since I was too lazy to take a screenshot I'll quote your message here with the screenshot showing offset 0x000c highlighted as 06 currently that would need to be changed to 07 to make it SurvivalMP. [QUOTE=LimeyRon;103764][URL="http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/452810/main.ttw"]Here's mine[/URL] Red. Just had another quick look and I think what he did was search for 0x000C with the search function, much like I did. Is this the value that needs to be changed? It's the only 6 that I can see at first glance. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wiSGss1.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsaken Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Can't this be done in the serverconfig.xml? Or am I missing something here completely? I know we went from Survival SP to Survival MP because land claim works (this was done a while ago now). Unless you're wanting to just change it with a hex editor. Reading comprehension while having a sinus infection = *buzzer*... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried. It certainly won't work if you want to just start the client and let some folks join (since you aren't using serverconfig.xml).

Warsaken Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Gameservers.com has theirs set up that way that I can change it through the serverconfig.xml. We originally started out with GameModeSurvivalSP before TFP introduced the command within the serverconfig.xml to be able to use land claims (when they were introduced). Land claims are only usable in GameModeSurvivalMP from what I understand. I don't want to give credit where credit isn't due (if that's the case), but their control panel pulls everything from the serverconfig.xml. I've messed some stuff up royally a few months back... *laugh*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, in the client, where the save game list is. Say you've spent some time building a creation in SP. It's done, now you want to show it off to a few friends, but don't want to host a dedicated server. So you start game, click continue, then try and load it as MP. That is what this does that you cannot do in the serverconfig.xml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget which game type that was, but I've not seen that in a while. The principal is still the same though. Change the 02 to 06 at 0x000c (the highlighted spot in LimeyRon's screenshot).
