Im already in this
, im going to write down the addresses that causes the assertion and then check them out wile running the game.
*This might be the first time im not {filtered} up by assertions
*
OMG: It DIDNT crash wile the game loaded... Now to SPAWN this new row and see what happens
*After spawning it it crashed, but not due to monstats.txt, there seams to be a check that works like this: (pseudocode im reconstructing)
if (CurrentID > MaxMonsterID) {
goto Assertion;
} else {
spawn_enemy(CurrentID);
}
It dosent seams to be a file line limit, but ratter a check for max IDs...
Location : C:\Projects\Diablo2\Source\D2Common\Monsters\MonsterRand.cpp, line #3685
Expression : ptMonsterNode->nClass < NUM_MONSTERCLASS
It shows exactly what my pseudocode shows (just the expression shows a solution for the problem, aka making CurrentId lower then MaxMonsterID)
*Digging in deeper*
Fount something else of interest, close to the end of d2client.dll there is a table like structure loading the following entry at its start 7A030000, if one looks carefully this is the fallen attack sound, even this value exists 3 or 4 times in the file NONE of those looks like a table, this one however does.
*I feel that im very close to something.
Also found the skeleton sounds in there
ok then
as an example
@FA928 EE060000 F5060000 00000000 00000000 0A070000...
DWord 1 = skeleton gethit
DWord 2 = skeleton death
DWord 3 = empty
DWord 4 = empty
DWord 5 = skeleton ressurrect
... there is alot more per table entry as it seams.
Each entry is very long in here, now we must find out HOW this gets allocated to monsters. then we will be able to give every monster the sounds we want.
AS it seams, these are indeed sound tables, as all their values translate to lines in sounds.txt, how ever they are NOT what actually attaches the sounds to monster events
In theory there probably 3 main tables dealing with monsters, an AI table, would look like this, 5 dwords each for 1 param of the param columns from monstats.txt and probably, the second one will probably apply s1-5 (skill1 to 5) to the AIs, the third one applies overlay gfx and sounds which is probably in d2client.dll and what I found before is a part of it, or some check or something.
