Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2015 1:38 pm Post subject: Combat Simulator Unlock Flags... |
|
|
I grew interested in determining all the unlock flags for various things in the Combat Simulator. Between my old notes and my new Versus Books guide, I came up with the following. However, hopefully we can determine the actual logic behind these locks.
Not sure if any sites or guides do say this, as most I have seen claim you must unlock weapons by completing Challenges, but you can actually open them up by simply acquiring them in the mission campaign (starting with or collecting), or even the device training lab. There are two things you can't even unlock by beating every Challenge in the game: the Laser, and the X-Ray Scanner.
The Jonathan character is also never opened up for people to select. You can choose his head from the list, but the version of him you see in the character bio menu uses a lock value which does not open by anything in PD.
And one other note, though it needs to be confirmed. I think that Rare may have originally intended at one point to only have the first three Challenges unlocked from a new file. Three things which first make an appearance in Challenge 04 have unique locks: The K7 Avenger, the Shield, and the King of the Hill mode. But since Challenge 04 is already accessible, these three things are made available right away.

Nice find.
Yet more customisation for GEX. now you can asign correct locks for things within GE based on how they were locked in PD.

Sub and I spent some time last night looking into how the locks work, and it is quite a bit different (and simpler) than first thought. I will be posting more details today, after I mess around with a few more things.
But yeah, the main reason I really wanted to figure these out was for GoldenEye X. If we decide to have things unlock as you progress through the Assignments. Gives people an incentive to actually play the bloody things, too. _________________

Guess I never explained how this stuff actually works. Well, better late than never...
The lock ID's are pretty much for whatever you want (with the small exception of a couple things that are hardcoded), and these things become unlocked as soon as a Challenge utilizing them becomes opened up.
For example, Challenge 04 has a few items that have unique lock numbers, yet are already open on a fresh file. Why? Because Challenge 04 is open by default. This means that when the game sees that the K7 Avenger weapon and King of the Hill modes are in use by a Challenge which has been opened up, they are unlocked.
Challenge 05 includes the Complex level, as well as the FarSight weapon. These unique lock values are read into RAM and placed within the Challenge listing within the 39850 file. If that Challenge is opened, all things associated with those lock numbers are made accessible.
In some case, they'll group a bunch of characters together sharing a certain lock value. This way, if you encounter even one of those characters (or heads) during a Challenge, all will unlock together (like the case of Area 51 related guards).
Some stuff is hardcoded, since not all are items used in Challenges, or at least not in the normal sense (like One-Hit Kill or Slow Motion options). Car Park never appears in a Challenge, and nor does the Pop a Cap game mode. The lock ID's they use are made available to players once they open up a range of Challenges (though first one is all you usually need). The Dinner Jackets and the ability to use up to eight simulants is also hardcoded (well, the lock value for them is). Even the Shield is hardcoded, strangely enough.
With the way things appear, SubDrag and I feel as though the way you unlocked items originally differed from how it ended up in the end. It was more like completing Challenges, or a range of them, that would have given you access to more stuff. Since beating the final Challenge gives you absolutely nothing extra, it feels like that may have been the case. Also, it could have only had three Challenges unlocked at the start of a new file, instead of four. _________________

Maybe GEX can only have 3 challenges unlocked from the start?
Also, nothing for the last challenge? thats an anti-climax... I think GEX should definetly have a big surprise after the final challenge.

With the way things work now, you could unlock something when you open Challenge 30. But that still means you only need to complete 26. We would need to change how unlocking works, and that is a task I am not sure anyone is up to. _________________
