[GUIDE] SHDR Version for TWRPG

[devoltz]

Since i'm tired of being asked to do a SHDR version of this shitmap I decided to make a guide... so you guys can make it by your own. It's really simple... just follow the steps and you should be fine.

Required tools to get started:


NOTE: MAP NOT INCLUDED

PRELUDE

Before I tell how to make the edits, here's the last version made by me with all the edits which I'm about to teach you guys:

There's a few misc things that I don't explained like: changing the map name/map title/preview... since we already have guides here on wc3edit that teach you how to do it.

GETTING STARTED

This is the version we will use as example: Click here!

• 1. Open the original version of TWRPG;
  2. Extract the "war3map.j" (it's located in "Scripts" folder.);
  3. Right click on "war3map.j" and extract (or just press F5 with it selected.)

Spoiler:

• 4. Open the "war3map.j" file on Jasscraft or any text editor; (I prefer Jasscraft since you can check your synthax retarded errors.)
  5. It should look like this:

Spoiler:

Now you have to decide what you want to do. SHDR versions are just tiny edits, but they are on the whole script... I usually do the following ones:

• Disable Reaper (AFK-System)
• Respawn Time (5 Seconds)
• EXP Rate (gradual by level)
• Drop Rate
• Free Costumes (only works at SHDR version)
• SHDR Commands
• Remove Anti-Singleplayer

• DISABLING THE AFK-SYSTEM •

• 1. Press "CTRL+F" and search for "PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_LUMBER))>=60";
  2. You will find that "if" condition:

Spoiler:

• 3. Just comment the "call" statment with "//".

Spoiler:

---

• CHANGING RESPAWN TIME •

• 1. Press "CTRL+F" and search for "' seconds." (with the quotation marks);
  2. You should find this function:

Spoiler:

NOTE: The function name will change on newer versions, but the logic will be the same, so you will be able to find it by searching it text.

• 3. Look at the "hrx" real. Erase the whole text after the equal sign and replace with the new respawn time:

Spoiler:

• 4. Now the respawn time is 5 seconds. (you can set it to any second.)

---

• CHANGING THE EXP RATE •

• 1. For this one, there's not a certain search thing... just keep searching for "Handicap" until you find a function that looks like this one:

Spoiler:

• 2. Now we have to create a local variable that will represent our hero level;
  3. Let's give a name to this local variable. I'll name it as hero_level;
  4. Now we also have to set it to catch our hero level... that hero level is already declared ((Bo[(CDx)])), so we will just do some copy.

Spoiler:

Basically we just declared a integer variable and gave a value to it (level value).

• 5. Now we have to edit the exp rates by the current hero level. We're going to do it by editing the current if/elseif statments like this:

Spoiler:

• 6. Now the player will get an exp buff depending on his level. Example:
  My hero is level 1 so it will get a 50x original rate buff;
  My hero is level 101 so it will get a 100x original rate buff and so on.

---

• CHANGING THE DROP RATES •

• 1. Search for "endglobals";
  2. Select the line above;
  3. We're going to create two reals there, they will represent our drop

Spoiler:

4. Now search for the following statment "<(1.+" (without the quotation marks). You should find this line:

Spoiler:

5. Now simply add the "drop" and "drop_2" at the end of the line like so:

Spoiler:

Basically, every item from the game has to be parsed on that function... adding these reals there will change EVERY item's drop chance to 45%, but these values can be changed... so edit as you want.

• CHANGING DROP RATES OF SPECIFIED ITEMS •

Items like Dark Matter and others I edit to 100%... so it will be easier to get geared.

• DARK MATTER •

• 1. Search for "I06W";
  2. You will find a global constant integer (depending on version its name can be different but the ID is always the same);

Spoiler:

• 3. Now search for "yC" and you will find this function:

Spoiler:

• 4. We're just going to do a few changes on it;
  5. On the first if, change it to "<=(101)";
  6. Now at the first elseif, copy the line that creates the item 'fgsk' into the first if;
  7. Delete the elseif;
  8. It will look like this:

Spoiler:

By doing that, dark matter has 100% drop rate now.

• ORICHALCUM/MITHRIL/ADAMANTINUM •

• 1. Seach for "I060" until you find a function like this:

Spoiler:

• 2. Change the "<=7.5" to "<=101";

Spoiler:

• 3. Now it has 100% drop rate.

Do the same process for Mithril and Adamantium... their ids are respectively: "I062" and "I061".


• ESSENCE OF ANGER •

• 1. Search for "I0CD" until you find a function like this:

Spoiler:

• 2. Copy the create item statment from the first elseif;
  3. Erase all the others and change the "<=1.20" to "<=101";
  4. It should look like this:

Spoiler:

---

• REMOVING ANTI-SINGLEPLAYER •

• 1. Search for "ReloadGameCachesFromDisk";
  2. The first thing that you will find is this statment:

Spoiler:

• 3. Change the if action to else action like so:

Spoiler:

• 4. Now search for "ReloadGameCachesFromDisk" again;
  5. You should find this function:

Spoiler:

• 6. Erase all inside of the function:

Spoiler:

• 7. Search once more for "ReloadGameCachesFromDisk";
  8. You should find this:

Spoiler:

• 9. Copy the code below of the "else" into the if just like so:

Spoiler:

• 10. Now singleplayer saves/loads will work on multiplayer.

---

• SHDR COMMANDS •

I made it work like a cheatpack to make it practical to add on any new version. Just download it at the beginning of the thread (or at attachments) and insert it like a cheatpack. Let's start with the globals part.

1. Search for "endglobals" and paste the globals code above like so:

Spoiler:

• 2. Now search for "function main takes nothing returns nothing";
  3. Paste the whole endglobals code above the function main (like we did at globals.);

Spoiler:

• 4. Now, inside the function main, copy and paste the function main part:

Spoiler:

BE CAREFUL ON THIS STEP! ANY MISTAKE WILL CRASH THE MAP!

---

• FREE COSTUMES •

• 1. Search for endglobals;
  2. Paste this code after the first function that doesn't has a "return boolean" statment:

Spoiler:

• 3. It should look like this:

Spoiler:

• 4. Now search for "KerB.YH" (it's a player nickname);
  5. It should bring us to the first costume function:

Spoiler:

• 6. Now just change one of the "SaveBoolean" to "costume" like so:

Spoiler:

• 7. You can keep scrolling because every save boolean on a different function you'll have to change (at least one of them) to enable the costumes that this function has:

Spoiler:

That's all! Have fun.

Thank you for your hard work, have a good rest my man

[nuzamacuxe]

Nice guide!

[Vegas]

Yes, great work!

[shaka2409]

Why my MPQ editor don't show folder tree?

[devoltz]

You need a listfile.

[shaka2409]

Thank you. I found the guide from here too

[devoltz]

I'm so glad that i wrote that guide, because i forgot how to do shdr for twrpg :3

[Danega]

Awesome guide, helped me a lot. could you show us how to change the droplimite from bosses? (for example turtle lord has a limit of 2, if there is a way to pass it to 4 or 5 and for all bosses?)

*codes from the script attached on this thread*
Search the function "h3x"
Observe it structure

Code: Select all

call h0x('n00C',1,10)
call hyx(Iwv,('I00V'),((30)*1.0))
call hzx(Iwv,('I00T'),((5)*1.0))
call hzx(Iwv,('I01F'),((5)*1.0))

Basicly, n00C= unit ID, so that unit will drop only one of the following items
I00V;I00T;I01F
Each of these items has their drop rate too, I00V for example is 30*1 = 30%
So it will run a random math function to determine wich item will be dropped, if you change the minimum amount of dropped items by unit to current dropable items, it will drop everything, like:

Code: Select all

call h0x('n00C',3,10)
call hyx(Iwv,('I00V'),((30)*1.0))
call hzx(Iwv,('I00T'),((5)*1.0))
call hzx(Iwv,('I01F'),((5)*1.0))

Just get a unit rawcode, search the boss name and get his ID, then search it on this function.
Guide for rawcodes, see the 5th topic.
