adrientd

nekin

if we could do a recap that would be great

adrientd

It's to possible to see them in the editor, even though they are currently not presented well :obelul:

nekin

great

nekin

if we could extract everything and do a nice presentation that would be wonderful

adrientd

If you are interesting to see rn, you can check in the editor (latest version) in the **Hooks** window and select the CKGrpA2Enemy group, then at the right you scroll until you see the "fightZoneInfo":

adrientd

Also here are some notes I took while looking at the code, most interesting are the types of bonus/sequences given are their indices:

And yeah, it's possible to prevent x10 multipliers from appearing, but only if you have low health (less than 1 entire shield)

schmeling65

LOL the actuall opposite of why you get 6 shields to NOT get the shield bonus

schmeling65

Could you determine how the seed is getting determined?

adrientd

I haven't looked into that, I know that it uses the standard C library function rand() to generate a random number.

adrientd

So I guess I could look for references to srand()

adrientd

But Ghidra doesn't seem to have found the function, so yeah...

adrientd

But my best guess is that it's just the current time

matej2818

That's really interesting

failentin

Lol, that is funny :obelul:

But probably doesn't help us with WCW RNG, right? x)

failentin

I'm always so impressed by what you can read in the code!

failentin

For the Roman selection, the game also picks only a Roman with full health, right? I suppose there's no way to "reset" a Roman's health after he was hit?

failentin

ooh great find, Nekin!

failentin

why does that door have the Caesar lock :obelul:
