EEex.ini

The EEex.ini file is created in the same folder as the EEex loader if it doesnt already exist. The windows style ini file contains two sections:

  • [Options]
  • [EEex]

Options Section

Currently the options section has four keys that are defined with their default values (based on compiled settings in EEex.dll), and these can be modified to change aspects of the EEex.dll operation:

  • Log=3 - logging level: 0=no logging, 1=basic information, 2=detailed information, 3=debug information (default)
  • Lua=0 - experimental - if EEex.dll is compiled with the lua v5.2.3 static library then settings this value to 1 will enable the use of the static lua library functions instead of the EE game searched for lua functions. Default value is 0
  • Hex=1 - Output addresses as hexidecimal: 0=decimal, 1=hexidecimal (default)
  • Msg=1 - Warning messagebox: 0=ignore/don't show, 1=show (default)

EEex Section

This section stores as list of key names representing the patterns that have been found in the EE game and the addres of the pattern. In some cases the pattern address corresponds directly with the EE game function, in most cases it does not, and especially for EE game global variables. The EEex.log file has a list of resolved addresses for EE game functions and EE game globals under the Address List section (if logging is enabled)

Example of EEex section entries:

[EEex]
PatchLocation=0x005167E0
_lua_createtable=0x004B5D70
__ftol2_sse=0x0085C3C0
CAIObjectType::Decode=0x00501750
CGameSprite::~CGameSprite=0x006D5D90
CResRef::operator-equ=0x0077ABE0
CResRef::operator-notequ=0x0077AE20

Note: For an explanation of the use of equ used instead of = in key names, see this wiki entry EEex.db Pattern Database
