Thread: Flame - DKII.EXE partial recompilation

    Default Flame - DKII.EXE partial recompilation

    Hi all! It's been a year since I became frustrated with the difficulty of developing complex patches for Ember.
    This summer I came up with an idea about how we could make it easier to modify our favorite childhood game.

    I present to you my new project Flame(https://github.com/DiaLight/Flame)!
    The basic idea is to partially decompile DKII.EXE, modify the decompiled code, and compile that code back into an exe.

    For now, I'm transferring key patches implemented in the Ember project.
    Changing the rendering engine and increasing the texture resolution is too difficult a task. It’s better not to take on such tasks yet.
    In the near future I will try to understand the work of AI mobs and try to return the logic of their behavior from version 1.5

    The north-south bug would be a very good one to fix too I think. Or at least do a workaround.

    There is a backstabbing mechanic in DK2, giving bonus damage attacking from behind. But creatures always look north it is just that their skin revolves around them. This means creatures attacking from the south always do bonus damage.
    Properly implementing backstabs seems too much, but disabling the north-south bug is a huge win for multiplayer, and might be an easy change.
