No luck on my side... We on a stump for this? Damn... Having unlimited characters sounded like a cool dream. Can't give up! the problem is that we have limitations, especially that we can't edit the .iggy files properly without the proper tools that we can't have access to. We've advanced our mods so far since the forum started, we gotta find something eventually... |

We've advanced our mods so far since the forum started, we gotta find something eventually... true, but .iggy files are a little bit different I mean the only software that can edit them properly isn't available to everyone just to the devs so our only way to edit them is through hex editing and maybe we can't do much with that type of editing. |

it loads them from the game's data base without selecting them from a character select screen and put them in the CaC slot only its a Cheat Engine cheat I guess. |

It's similar to what cheat engine can do yes, but doesn't require cheat engine, and can do more. Throughout our findings here about iggy I feel it's safe to say that the slots (character and variations/"costumes") are hardcoded. Unless we're able to find someone who has not only the know how, but the time to decrypt iggy completely, build a converter in C++ to convert the files over to .fla so we can edit them, then have the converter convert them back to .iggy without having any idea or source code on how iggy works then it's most likely not going to happen. RadGameTools(the developer of Iggy) only lists 12 games that currently use Iggy( Found here). The majority of them being console. The DBXV modding community (us, and the forums in other languages modding the game) are mostly likely the first to try to modify Iggy. We either need someone whose an expert at decryting files(which I am not), and has motivation to make mods for this game. Or we need the few programmers we have on this forum to start spending all their free time on decrypting Iggy, and the art of backwards engineering. Which is one of the hardest if not thee hardest form of programming there is. It will take weeks, if not months to get this done. |

The method used is DLL injection. |

Noticed that the .exe cross references with iggy_w2.dll quite a bit with interesting titles like "GetInfo", "DrawTiles" etc. I'm going to start going through this and see if the .exe is told how many slots in any way or if that value is store within the DLL. If so, and I'm some how able to find it. I can change the register to one more than what it's being told. Then see if that will increase the number of slots. Then I can write a DLL that will inject as many slots as I want. It's my last attempt so wish me luck... |

been trying to understand the iggy files and i have kind of mentioned what most iggy files have as a start. so decryption is somewhat being worked on. but as i see it now and as you mentioned it will take too long. so i am going to see where cription going before continuing.

What about putting new characters with the same way as the DLCs does ?

What about putting new characters with the same way as the DLCs does ? Well that means we have to make a new cpk called datap#.cpk (The hashtag is the number of the dlc) and do all loads of stuff which is hard P.S: For your question under your pic, i think you are genderless... X> |

What about putting new characters with the same way as the DLCs does ? The DLC are referenced in Data2.cpk just like the normal characters. DLC3 is referenced above the rest. The issue is we haven't found a way to expand character slots. As they seem to be hardcoded. Everything I've been trying to just seems to crash the game at the character selection menu. |

It has to do with -charactrsel.iggy -characters folders -the save file -data2.cpk -DBXV.exe -a DLL |
