[1.10] Character start hook

[Demon9ne]

A relatively simple question:

I'm looking for an ideal place to hook the game at character start, for some code that will run once at game entrance, when the character pops up in town. Can anyone recommend an address? Thanks.

on character creation only or every times you enter a game with any character?

[Demon9ne]

Every time. I need it to be when a character appears, after the character data is loaded.

Hook D2Game.0x6FC8EF20:

Code: Select all

DWORD __fastcall D2ProcessSaveFile(D2GameStrc* pGame, D2ClientStrc* pClient, BYTE* pSaveFile, size_t nSize, D2UnitStrc** ppPlayer, DWORD dw1, DWORD dw2, DWORD dw3)

Unfortunately it must be this as internally there is a branch for new players/loaded players. just remember to call it first, and you'll have a fully inited player

Thanks Nec. Works well.

Also, a poor/lazy coder's solution to new players vs. those already present:

if (Experience == 0) {
do new player stuff
+1 Experience!
}

When players ask why they start with 1 experience, simply tell them "Backstory."
