Tutorial: 30000 alz drop limit finally broken

NOTE: ALTHOUGH THIS CHANGE SEEMS TO WORK AT FIRST, AT SOME POINT PROBLEMS MAY APPEAR, SUCH AS DROPPING DIFFERENT VALUES FOR DIFFERENT PLAYERS, DROPPING A SPECIFIC VALUE MUCH HIGHER THAN EXPECTED FOR EACH PLAYER, SO MORE RESEARCH SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE USING THIS METHOD DEFINITIVELY.​

APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY VERY HIGH MULTIPLIERS IN ALZCONTROL.SCP AND NOT IN THE SERVER ITSELF

DECREASE THE MULTIPLIERS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OK​

​

 How to change the Alz drop limit in WorldSvr ep33/35​

In the server executable WorldSvr, the maximum Alz drop is hardcoded to 30,000 (0x7530).
This check happens at the following offsets:

Code:

0x002472CB
0x002472D3

The value 30000 appears as:

Code:

30 75 00 00

 Replace it with another value in little-endian (4 bytes) to change the limit.

Steps​

Open WorldSvr in HxD (or any hex editor).

Go to offsets 0x002472CB and 0x002472D3.

Replace 30 75 00 00 with the little-endian value of your chosen limit.

Save and restart the server.
