I'm using IDA, so there is 0x400000 offset in addresses.

Numbers for gem effects:
Mana Opal (6 mana) - 0x6C0004
Sapphire of Defense (6 defense) - 0x6C0048
Ruby of Attack (6 attack) - 0x6C0063
Emerald of Speed (2 speed) - 0x6C0082

Changing message text by hex editing can be done by changing pointers that are located at:
0x6C0CAF and 0x6C0CBE for Mana, Defense and Attack gems (they all share the same string)
0x6C0CE5 and 0x6C0CF4 for Speed gem.

I would appreciate that adress questions go here, it will be *much* harder to find if everything is in a new topic, please

http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=37350&pagenumber=16

No! Not ask there! It waste all real content! Only put there discovered adresses!

Thank you so much. But we have a little problem in here. I am using HxD and changed everything with HxD since today.
I have tried to IDA because of you and it is huge, sluggish and i even don't know how to save file. It looks too complicated. I cannot save it as exe. How can i do that?

You can't modify exe with IDA as far as I know, it's made to explore code and store your discoveries in one database. With this approach you can "snowball" reversing exe, because after a while when you have lots of functions and offsets discovered you can get what code does just based on partly known fragments of it. A puzzle with an Assembly touch

But I'm talking from a perspective of person who knows some computer science and programming, it may be hard to get into from zero.

I started modding using IDA for reversing the code and Ollydbg to write simple Assembly code caves, then moved to writing C++ plugins based on H4MS. Honestly, I never thought I'd achieve so much in modding, maybe you will achieve even more, who knows ?

Ida is too hard for amateurs! If you dont make real study in programming dont begin it. But even if you have knowledge reverse enginering is very hard and you spent a lot of time! I think better is for nonprogrammers play the game. For me example is enough simple knowledge how to change known adresses and sometimes find something to change.

Pointer points to the actual value
