Need help - Mystery Manor for ipad

Post by iamstumped »

short version: i edit the SAV files for m.m. with a hex editor to increase the diamond count. When i load m.m. it senses the sav has been changed and offers to load another sav file. If i edit every sav file they all revert to the original diamond count when loaded.
This game DOES NOT WANT TO LET ME CHEAT ! the nerve.... :(
There is a hack posted on iapphacks (of edited SAVs) that works but it wiped out all my progress.
anybody know what im doing wrong / any hex editing tips?

i never looked into any Apple stuff, i hate apple, they always have some faggotry shit like that happening. it sounds like some sort of back-up system or hash check.

1. delete all of your save games (make sure there are no backups, you can backup manually if you want)
2. create new save and try editing that one

what hex editor are you using, and how to you "edit" the files?
i would ask from whoever made the working savegame. some games on PC have such hash check, where having different game version can even mess up the saves. or some games won't allow you to use other people's savegame ..etc
it can be lot of things, just have to take it from beginning and see what corrupts the save, is it the editing part or something else.

thanks for the reply.
Editor is HxD
guy who posted the hack didnt respond.
i have the (or a) location of the diamond count - i change it to a hex-converted number that i want: in Hxd FIND "01a9" and replace with "251c" (425 with 9500).
Yes, i thought it might be a hash check but i dont know how to fake the right one/ where to find it.
dont know how or where ipad or the game stores backups.
the SAV files are all jibberish containing levels, coins, diamond, friends, collections - so if i used the hacked ones all my info is gone - dont want to do that.
A clue: if i use one of the hacked saves and paste it into the directory it shows up on the list of restore files (with all the coins and diamonds but my info gone) BUT if i edit any of MY saves, the game rejects them. (all i do is change diamond count)
???
i can uploaod /email the files if anyone wants to look at them
oh also, i turn wifi off when i load the game so the game is not verifying stats with a server

hmm, it really sounds like some hash check if you can't even see them in list.

yes upload the files here, original save and hacked save and also specific where are coins that you are changing.
as about hex editor, i recommend using XVI32, its small and easy to use.
however hex workshop could be useful too, i don't have it right now, but it can compare files and maybe show you something that might be different.

anyway if its some sort of hash check, you would need some game specific tool and i have no idea where to get one. anyway i can check them if you upload them (attach savegame to your post, don't use external sources).

Search for 38 37 11- the next 4 characters = diamond count [c9 d1 = 51665, 01 ae = 430] - this matches the diamond count when the sav is loaded. The last 6 characters at the end of the files are always different ( the checksum?) but when i used hex edit to generate different checksums, none of them matched the end of the file. -but them maybe im not doing it right :(
The hack file works fine as is (but all my progress is gone) - so WHAT is in the hacked file this is not in mine?? :(

bah stupid idea, there is no hash or check, because if there would be .. then how come that hacked file loads fine?!
obviously that hacked file works for everybody, so it can't be a file hash check or something like that, otherwise it would not work for anyone.

i made some changed, see if you can load it.

no, still does not work - none of the available backups show 65535 (your diamond count) but thanks for trying!

I wonder what the hack file does differently from our files?

well obviously it is not a hash check, but it might be internal hash check for money/credits.
here's what you can try:

get any program that can compare files (notepad++ can do it, but some hex editor's better, i think XVI32 has compare too, not sure).
grab your savegame backup and leave it as it is
go back into game, spend/gain only money (try not making any other changes)
grab savegame backup again and compare those 2 files, i think there is more than just those credits that change.

also make sure not to add / remove any bytes from the file, like i did.

Offtopic, does ipad have global proxy support? if it does, you can setup a forwarding proxy in your pc and put ipad thru that, you can then monitor traffic and change it, might come in handy if you wanna hack some online games or apps. i did that to my PS3.
