No random ATB patch!

[intipacha]

Hello!

Just wanted to let everyone know I found a way to set the per-stack initial ATB random maximum value to zero, instead of 0.25.

Not sure if someone already did this, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

The patch can be found here:
Zero ATB Patch

The patch is made for ToTE version 3.1 and modifies the H5_Game.exe.
Use it at your own risk, and if you don't trust it, feel free to scan it at virustotal.com or whatever.

Please, back up your original H5_Game.exe before doing this.

For those of you that want to do it manually, the patch changes a float constant from 0000803Eh (0.25 decimal) to 00000000h (0 decimal) at file offset 6734F7h.

That's a great idea, it always drove me up the wall when those pesky druids got to act before my stalkers.

I agree, there's no need for the randomness

Is this still working?

[Deathaim]

anyone else got trouble with 0.2 errors in multiplayer while using this? and can someone make the manual overwrite of float constant more clear? most importantly where is this constant located? tyvm

Lost it again, dammit - and the link is off. Someone still keeping it around? Save me from the annoyance, plz.

Call me loony tunes, but I think taking away random starting ATB is like taking away franks red hot sauce. It'd be pretty plain without it. If every conflict was %100 predictable, it would be boring. Also, that randomness works both ways. It help you in some fights.

And of coarse, what happens when 2 identical units face off? Does it just give first move to the attacker, or what? There must be some level of chance! It's a neat idea, but if anything, I'd want more randomness.
