cep_head Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 i'm wanting to hack the lifeglobe full version goldfish aqurium so that it has the blue rocks like the one in the mce only version. i have purchased the screensaver but saw the one that comes with mce was cooler looking and i would like to have the blue colored gravels like it does. if this is possible please post me some ideals on how to do it. i'm not looking for a hack for the serial or anything just to be able to change the rocks color. i could post the to screensavers if someone would like to give it a shot. i've searched google for 2 hours with no luck and thought someone on here could help. thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347398-help-hacking-a-screensaver/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
djesteban Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I don't think your asking in the good forum... your asking for a "program" (screensaver in this case) dissasembling. there's way to do it.... but not in the good forum man Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347398-help-hacking-a-screensaver/#findComment-586249971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjeeeboy Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Try opening it with a hex editor or disassemblingit. You kinda have to be a knowlegable programmer and spend alot of time figuring out the way the program works though. [EDIT]Oh, is it just an image you want to change? Did you look around the directory to see if you can find it? If not, try opening up the exe and other things with a resource editor. Hope this helps!

bfoos Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) I've compared the MCE version with the standard version and the code is very differant between the two. It isn't a simple matter of reshacking. I think a better goal would be to find the OS check in the MCE version and remove it. However, that's beyond the scope of this forum. Oh, and forget about that site. They don't have what you want.

cep_head Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 any pointers as to where to look for the version check as to remove it from the mce version? thanks in advance.

chonch Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 don't worry about the aquagold file. I downloaded it months ago but let's just say it wasn't a quality release. i was on the search for the same thing you are after but never could figure it out. I finally just gave up. I know it is possible - I found out about it all from this site: http://www.feldoncentral.com/forums/showth...09&page=4&pp=20 I downloaded at hex editor but had no idea what I should have been looking for. Good luck to you - let us know if you find a way!

Hence the reason I said don't bother with that site. I didn't even have to translate it (from Russian, btw) to figure that out. This subject has been posted a few times before and has never been resolved. I know it's possible to get the MCE version working on XP but like I said, it's beyond the scope of this forum. Anyway, the devs of GA have heard peoples cries and are thinking of instituting blue gravel and the squarish rocks from the MCE version into the main stream version. Hang tight dude. It's only virtual fish and aesthetics after all. :) Edited July 23, 2005 by Jaded1 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347398-help-hacking-a-screensaver/#findComment-586257541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
