Anything goes, let's share some knowledge

what makes you so special?

I am not special, I am just a programmer who has researched a lot

Uh, sure... Did the Imaginators lineup have placeholder names, like the other games' figures? Not sure if we should be asking how they work or stuff you found in the code(if that's even allowed to be discussed here).

I was aiming at the later type of questions yes, i know mostly about how the figures work programatically, i really don't know much about the development process

I would assume they did had placeholder names, since we usually give a lot of placeholder names to functions and variables until they get a bit more significant

So, like, did you work at TfB or something?

Nope, I have researched it all on my own

2._ i would need to do some research on that, i bet they are stored in bytes aside from the SSA bytes though

3._ well, you are giving me a lot of reasons to start doing all those extra missions, i honestly mostly played for the base story gameplay, but i will sure give a try to be able to reply

4._ its indeed stored in the figure, in blocks 8 and 24 to be exact, its a 4 byte sequence and its indeed by save

5._i haven't researched Hero level, to be honest i have no idea in what game its from, if you tell me i can give some research to it

6._ 144 Bytes in two separated areas, to a total of 288 bytes of totally unused space

7._its very likely that the game wrote let's say, EXP points, you remove the figure too soon after that the game didn't had the chance to write the correct checksum for said EXP points, and thus marks it as corrupted, it can easily be fixed by fixing the CRC checksums without the need to reset the whole figure

8._ alas i haven't i mostly do all my research in a WiiU that my bf didn't allow me to hack, but i am curious into what kind of stuff you would like to mod, wii games are pretty much an open book to modders

I see, the web game, I didn't had a chance to play it, I started to play skylanders quite late, when imaginators was announced, but the technology and the thing of the figures intrigued me and made me want to tinker with them

Raising difficulty by making enemies deal more damage and resist more should be easy to mod, I think even adding a path switching option shouldn't be hard (and in worst case scenario you can use my tool which literally is just, click read, click path, click write)

Adding support for hero level would be a bit harder because we now even lack the details of is workings since its dead, adding online to Wii games is impossible though, Nintendo servers for Wii/DS consoles are already shut down

You know, I do have a hacked wii, if you are up for it we can research together and try our hand at modding skylanders games

And about this SA pc version corruptaton, lemme get it and I could indeed see the activity going between portal and game tip see what's corrupting the figures so bad

"modding skylanders games" - do u mean figures and or game? Please tell us how u plan to do that ?

What are the shortest and tallest possible combinations for a Swap Force skylander?

do you mean as in figurewise? which combination has the least centimeters and which the most?

Yeah.

alright, just to answer your question StormDragon i just measured each of the parts


so in conclusion Doom Ranger is at tallest with 11 cm
even though fire kraken base is at 5.5 cm too the inclination where the magnets meet make Doom Kraken get at 10.9 cm
and Night Shadow is the shortest with 7.2 cm
