How it works. There is a check which checks if you are on the same team as the object with the itr you are getting "hit" by. Pretty obvious. Assembly:

Code:

CPU Disasm
Address   Hex dump          Command                                  Comments
004177C4  |.  8B85 64030000 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+364]
004177CA  |.  3B83 64030000 CMP EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+364]
004177D0      0F85 90000000 JNE 00417866

JNE = jump if not equal. This exe replaces that JNE with a JMP, so it makes the game think all objects are always on separate teams.

Thanks to xsoameix for reverse engineering the giant "process_attack" function here: https://github.com/xsoameix/lf2/blob/mas...ss.rb#L506

And to Zort for bringing it up on IRC.

So in the first one, you could hit yourself with your own projectiles. That was cool but kind of broke firen and freeze as they would hit them selves with the explosion and tornado which kinda made them stupidly weak. This version works by changing the comparison to check if the "owner" is the same rather than the team. i.e (notcie the 354 instead of 364 :P):

Code:

CPU Disasm
Address   Hex dump          Command                                  Comments
004177C4  |.  8B85 64030000 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+354]
004177CA  |.  3B83 64030000 CMP EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+354]
004177D0      0F85 90000000 JNE 00417866

Edit 3:

They are probably both broken in different ways. Too lazy to think about the best way of fixing them.
