Experiment # | Control | Variable 1 | Variable 2 |
---|---|---|---|
1 | (0) | (1) | (2) |
2 | (0) | (1) | (1) but each letter of character's name shifted 1 up |
3 | (1) | (1) with byte x in character's profile changed(0<x<64) | (None) |
Results: In experiment 1, there was a change in the first 64 bytes of the block starting at hexadecimal 0x?00. In experiment 2, there was a change in the first 64 bytes of blocks starting at hexadecimal 0x?00 and 0x??00. This gave me a baseline as to where character data was.
In experiment 2, I simply wanted to establish where the character's name was stored. It was at the start of the 64 bytes, but it seemed to be encoded. In addition, shifting letters 1 up did not always shift bytes 1 up.
In experiment 3(there are many variations on it), I tinkered with other bytes to find where the agility, IQ, life, PSI, credits, tech abilities, etc. were stored. The results will soon be posted.
