Ghost Master Rejected Ghosts Mod

[Pseudorizer]

Everything I can think of for what that is just gets stopped by the generate and open file button. Is it for customising the game? Maybe something for a scenario creator?

This is menu editor with "Friendly user" GUI =). you just click on ghost for delete it and add. When you press generate it makes a script what can be executed by launcher. So you basically can add new colums, and place your ghosts in menu.

Menu Editor in short.

I wrote assembly code for setting custom animations for ghosts:


AnimationCustom:

mov ecx, [0090ED70] //move ptr_funcs address to ecx

sub esp,00000100 //Add to stack 256 bytes

lea eax,[esp+00] //lea eax, [esp+100h+FileDirectory] make from these 256 bytes char [256]

push 00906FA8 // Push Animation File Name

push 00904EA8 // Push ghost_anims Folder Path Name

push eax //push FileDirectory char [256] //here will be saved directory:

call dword ptr [ecx+2C] //((void (*)(char *, const char *, ...))ptr_funcs->fn_sprintf)(FileDirectory, FolderDirectory, File);

lea edx,[esp+0C] //save directory address to edx

push 0 //SaveFileState

push edx //push animation directory

call 00629A50 // fn_loadNewAnimationsFile_4((int)FileDirectory, 0);

add esp,14// clear stack 5*4bytes pushes = 20-> 14 in hex

push esi// save old esi on stack(index)

mov esi,edi //Put edi to esi. Edi holds array address from previous function where to save our animations

//Add animations to array

//Animation 1

push 0 //AnimationStatus

push 00906FA0 //Animation String

push 0 //Animation Index

push esi //array address

call 00638620 // call SetAnimation(AnimationData, AnimationIndex, AnimationName, AnimationStatus);

//Animation 2

//Animation 15

push 0

push 00906F80

push 0E

push esi

call 00638620

add esp,F0 // 15 * 16 bytes(4 pushes) = 240 -> F0

pop esi //back to index

add esp,00000100 //clear stack to 0

ret
Now, we can set for custom ghosts our animations like: Ghost->Boy Wisp->LayToRest-> AnimationLTR

When I try to enter ghoul room it crashes the game why?

[Woitek]

I think your ghoulroom level was not replaced or scenario file. Try to run launcher with admin laws, or check these files manually.

[sardoc]

How do you make a launcher file?

I'd like one to, for example, do the same thing as this mod's launcher, but use ghost.exe instead of RejectedGhosts.exe (...basically a minor change just to learn how to do it). Is that complicated to do?

[Woitek]

Launcher use a specific executable file, because it's changing bytes at specific locations: screen position, fullscreen mode and playfmv. It also inject code for rewrite haunter menu what allows you to select 4 extra ghosts. If you want to use another version of the exe, you have to figure out where are these addresses.
