I would appreciate a PM of those notes.

The notes do not exist anymore (I guess I should say "I had" :\ ). I was re-partioning my drive and lost power. After recovering the files I assumed all was fine. So I wiped the drive and restored files only to discover the file pointers were pointing to the wrong data. So 50% of my files were garbage. I only have generic notes from my first post about it at fabletlcmod boards (non-public posting).

I mostly worked with Q_Novi and was able to stop the quest from fully loading. The characters were still there and I was able to kill people as a child. The goal was to make the game skip Oakvale/Guild because well it is boring. Some sample notes I guess (these were very early notes and it is only a 16kb file) lol.

Code:
Q_NOVI
	Good Deeds:
		00644E6E - 89 46 24 - mov[esi+24],eax        <---Write?    Copy Mem
		00650B71 - 8B 56 24 - mov edx,[esi+24]        <---Read? Copy Mem  (Get Pointer from here 4 Byte Integer this does not allow to bypass alone!)
		00DB8D57 - 8B 40 54 - mov eax,[eax+54} <---- money given for deeds This is only used after values from brom are given!
		00DB8C56 - 8B 48 54 - mov ecx,[eax+54] <--- read after first visit with brom get pointer for money given for deeds!
<snip>
Code:
 Guild Child

	Running:  (Time is contained by integer)
		006E7731 - 8B 40 14 - mov eax,[eax+14]
		006E7607 - 8B 48 14 -mov ecx,[eax+14]
		006e760F - 89 48 14 - mov [eax+14],ecx        <--- This writes to time remaining and display time both k-1

	Target Punch:
		Punch Count (Non Menu)  - Stick () Everything is based on menu count! You can freeze all other variables
			00650B71 - 8B 56 24 - mov edx,[esi+24]
			00644E6E - 89 46 24 - mov [esi+24], eax     <--writes to variable /not for screen!
			00D53D1C - 8B 52 50 - mov edx, [edx+50]     <-- menu/frontend stuff for hero? read
			00D53D35 - 3B 48 50 - cmp ecx,[eax+50]	    <--menu	read
			00D53F0A - 39 68 50 - cmp [eax+50],ebp	    <--menu   write
			00D53D4C - 8B 42 50 - mov eax,[edx+50]		read
			00D52172 - 89 58 50 - mov [eax+50],ebx      <---Writes to variable onscreen
			
			
		
	Beetle Killing
			0057D8C9 - 01 7E 78  - add[esi+78],edi               <<var1>
			0057D8CC - 83 7E 78 00 - cmp dword ptr[esi+78],00
			0057AB02 - DB 46 78 - fild dword ptr [esi+78]		<</var1>
			0057D8D6 - 01 7E 7C - add[esi+7c],edi			<<var2>
			0057D8D9 - 83 7E 7C - cmp dword ptr [esi+7c],00 	<</var2>
			00644E6E - 89 46 24 - mov [esi+24],eax    <var3> <--Same as good deeds write?
			00650B71 - 8B 56 24 - mov edx,[esi+24]    <var3> <--same as good deeds read?
			005DA697 - FF 41 1C - inc[ecx+1c]       <var4> <--increment by one here is the counter?

Re: exe comparison

I'll repeat what I said at TLCmod.

You can wish as much as you want. The reality is that there is no one in this community talented enough to do anything useful with the exe. Those that are talented don't have enough interest. And those with interest soon find out the reality that the exe is a mess of code.

And no comparison of Fable, TLC, or TLC for PC will change that.

There is no Fable for PC, only Fable:TLC.

Wouldn't do you any good to have the xbox file. They've been set up completely different. As Silver said. The quests in the xbox version were static linked as new segments at the end of the exe. While the PC version isn't.

I'm assuming your familiar with assembly if you plan to look at these?
