    Re: Modding Tropico 3 help needed

    The tutorial is not exactly correct. To get it to work for you need to do the following....

    Follow the Tut to part 7, the the bit where you need to unpack the save.

    Now the boring lengthy bit. Part 8 of the Tutorial states that the file you are looking for is 002b80??. This was never the case for me on any save. The names of the files that I found containing the HEX value your after varied vastly between 001...., 002..., 0002.., 003..., etc meaning that it could literally be any of the DAT files. So what you need to do is start HxDen and open every .dat file that has been unpacked at the same time. Might take a minute to open as there is typically anywhere between 140 to 300 files. You now to need search through each .dat file that has been unpacked, searching for string text 'money' by hitting CTRL & F and entering 'money' and hit ENTER, if it comes up not not found then push CTRL & TAB, it will bring you to the next .dat file, repeat although money should be saved so you just got to hit return. So, it's CTRL & F, RETURN, CTRL & TAB, etc. Ended up getting really fast at this. Might take 2-3 minutes to find the file.

    Once you have located the file and found the Hex value for 'money' locate the Hex value for amount you had when you saved it. This is a good website to check the Hex value. It should be at the 14th set of Hex values, i.e. 00 = 1st, 00 00 00 00 = 4th, etc. So if your value was 9500 that would be 251C Hex value. Get the cursor now before Hex set before the 25 and typing FF FF FF.

    It should look something like this ...............

    6D 6F 6E 65 79 00 00 00 01 00 00 02 15 00 00 00 03 00 00 25 1C.

    becomes

    6D 6F 6E 65 79 00 00 00 01 00 00 02 15 00 00 00 03 00 FF FF FF.

    Blue = Hex value of word money.
    Red = The original amount of money you had.
    Green = The new value of money which eqautes to 16777215 (More then enough money for any level).

    Note: Ignore the Hex values in-between. They seem to be different in every save.



    Now save the file and repack the .sav file and just do as the rest of the Tut says from part 12 .

    After you know what your doing, you should be able to unpack, mod, repack, rehash, resign and reinsert back onto your memory device in less then five minutes.
    (This mod does not seem to work for the Touristico campaign level although that is quite easy.)

    Hope this helps. Any problems understanding let me just let me know. Also, remember to thank because initially this was hours of playing about with gamesaves and getting a frozen loading screen continuously.
