40d:Memory hacking

New string format

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x00	16	Character buffer	Holds the string data if capacity < 16
0x00	4	Character pointer	Points to the string data if capacity >= 16
0x10	4	Length	Current length of the string
0x14	4	Capacity	Current capacity of the string buffer (also indicates which mode the string is in)

Yes, the first two items overlap. This is correct. This is the MSVC Express string format - Toady appears to be using standard C++ structures pretty much everywhere.

Vector format

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x00	4	vtable	(not useful)
0x04	4	Array start
0x08	4	Array end	(End - Start)/4 = # of elements

Attention!

We need to be very clear about what version(s) these addresses apply to. Please list version numbers along with addresses.

Creature Structure

Appears to be still valid in version 27.169.33a (keep this updated when things don't seem to shift around)

Structure Offsets:

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x00	4	Vptr	Virtual function table pointer
0x04	24	First name	See above string format
0x32	4	Surname word 1	No part of speech, like in the old structure
0x36	4	Surname word 2
0x70	24	Custom profession name	See above string format
0x88	2	Type ID #1	Dwarf types. 0x88 is the original dwarf type, 0x8a is the current dwarf type (I'm told Toady stores the original dwarf type for legends). The key is in the "Type ID" table, woefully incomplete.
0x8a	2	Type ID #2
0x8C	4	Creature Race	A6 is the dwarf default (this may be different if the user has a mod installed)
0xAC	2	X Coordinate	Cells east of the west side
0xAE	2	Y Coordinate	Cells south of the north side
0xB0	2	Z Coordinate	Levels up from the bottom level
0xe4	4	Flags	(1 << 1) Unclear. It is set on dead things. Also, when a merchant caravan arrives, merchants and guards are added to the entity list slightly before they are added to the "u" list - during this period, this bit is set.
0xe8	4	Flags	(1 << 7) Appears to be whether or not the creature is dead. (1 << 17) if creature is ready for slaughter
0x1F8	2	Strange mood	0xFFFF means no mood
0x41C	4	Strength	0 to 5
0x420	4	Agility	0 to 5
0x424	4	Toughness	0 to 5
0x42C	4	Skill Start Ptr	Start of skill list
0x430	4	Skill End Ptr	End of skill list
0x458	102	Labor preferences	102 1 byte values, corresponding to the profession list. Mostly bools, with notable exceptions of shieldtype,armortype, and weaponnum. I have No idea what the last one means.
0x504	4	Happiness level	0 = miserable, >149 = ecstatic
