Hi!
You should really check this out :) try saving map from hacked editor and see, where and what it writes before packing :P
working alpha build of Gemini: gemini_build0.1.7z
and of course source full source code on github
there will be a bunch of messageboxes with CreateFileW in the title during startup. Just click ok until editor opens.
Tell me if you're antivirus tell you something bad about this exe, and if, treat it as false positive. My program uses some hacks like dll injection and Import Address Table (IAT) pathing. This is dangerous stuff for helpless application :P but i have good intentions doing that. If you don't trust me, check source and maybe even compile it for your own :) full code::blocks project and lualib included.
Good work :) thanks mate. I'm sure it will be very useful :)
I'm planning to rewrite it completely, but i need some critical addresses anyway. I think it crashes, because phyngal overwrites memory, not just injecting some code. I have better idea how to do that. I want to add some jumps here and there, after that jump i will execute the patched instruction, do what i am jumping for and just return from hack. The same as i done with dll injection, but here i just path EIP register so i actually did not overwritten any other memory ;) this is good approach when i need something to be done immediately. Of course anything will be called from lua :)
btw:
there will be a big editor path in 1.4, i just hope opcode signatures wont change x)
Check out my sc2Gemini project on github. It is in very early stage of development, but I'm working on it ;)
Next step is link it with lua or node.js, but i probably put on lua, because it doesn't need external exe. I will release working build as soon as it will do something useful :P
I has the same issue several days ago (when i exported cliff models). The way to do it is to save it as .mdx, .mdl, .blp or something (from sc3 extensions)... it automagically works when you just rename the file in filesystem :P
Actually, i never have to write pathfinding for myself (as i never created full game with AI), but i read a bit about it and i i know wikipedia should tell you more about it. See "example" section. In your code you actually created a node for each terrain "cell" and link neighboring cells together.
For now, it isn't very hard to write something like that (because we have working open-source projects here), but free software have one big problem (don't get me wrong, I really really like it). People who made it, don't have much time and don't have money from their work... so, if I could, I'd do it, but it is hardly possible (high school exam this year, work... erf). If you want it done and know (even a little) how to do it, you can fork this project on github, do some work in your free time, share it with others. Use the power of community, and remember, never claim you do this all, because it is nothing but stealing ;)

I know that, i want to do the same what grimoire does in WE. I will export all data from map's mpq after save, run some other process on it (something like jassHelper, but for galaxy, i.e. galaxy++ parser). Another thing will be detecting, when user opens trigger editor (to inject TESH-like editor), add some windows menus etc. I wont really modify memory, only a few instructions ;) I have no time at the moment, but after hours i'm working on simple dll injector (and it actually almost works :P).
@SouLCarveRR: Go
Thanks for suggestions, but i wont create "jassHelper" or "TESH", but "Grimoire" :P Maybe later ;) Anyway, this is how it will work.
SC2 probably uses A* too :P but i don't know. How about custom nodes? A* can find a way not only on grid ;) I found it useful on hex-based games ;) There are often small arenas in maps like that.
doing small progress.
Here is my current VerAddr table. If anybody can help me find missing adresses, it will be great ;)
Small howto: google for older SC2Editor.exe, check for adresses in adress.asm from phyngal, find maching instructions in new version, get current address (and maybe signature for later scanning).
I will update it every time i find something.
@edit:
nevermind, midiway get a good job done here, pray to him :P
First: use multiple events for same trigger
Second: Combine multiple region shapes into one big region, which triggers event (if regions have no other separated actions).
TIP: use hotkeys for region editing. It is a LOT faster and convenient.
space - toggle addition/edition mode
ctrl + lmb - move closest (to mouse) selected region's (or shape's when playing with group) border/corner
I used flat assembler. I'm aiming to compile it as *.o and just link into some C++ source for clarity (i prefer GCC/MinGW). For now I'm learning assembler and I'm doing pretty well :) Old SC2Editor.exe will be great ;)
edit:
I left the theory part behind me, so it is time for practice now :P

Don't forget to check humans.txt on repo :)

Didn't know why it appears. You should wait for 1.4 path and check if it works. If did not, report it somewhere to blizzard as bug.

Anyone already doing research about .m3a? It will be really good, to document it and try to write even a stub for reading/writing these files.
