"level where Jaffar's death stops the time"

[robert]

I've seen that this hack "level where Jaffar's death stops the time" and this "Time is stopped on all further levels as well." are only available for version 1.0...

Is there a way to make them function in version 1.3?

Level where Jaffar's death stops the time (1.3)

Code: Select all

0000C7D0:i833EB0100D                     cmp (w)   [+10B0],+0D
0000C7D5:i7F5F                           jg        file:0000C836
0000C7D7:i7507                           jne       file:0000C7E0

Search: 83 3E B0 10 0D 7F 5F, replace 0D with the level number.

This highlights one of the biggest problems with EXE hacking: Sometimes, in different versions, you need to search for different hex codes.
(This problem also popped up here: viewtopic.php?p=14658#p14658 )
When I added new hacks to CusPoP, I only searched for the codes that are in 1.0, because that's the only version that I disassembled.
The difference in the codes is caused by the fact that this part of the code (and many others) uses global variables. ([+10B0] in this example.)
Addresses of global variables are different in each version.
For example the current level is stored at [+0F9E] in 1.0, but [+10B0] in 1.3, and [+10AA] in 1.4.

By the way, it seems to me that unavailable options are not grayed out in CusPoP.
