This is weird - I'm positive I have successfuly made changes to weapons before. Also, I believe this HAXMED32 version that I am using is indeed cracked so it allows to edit Descent2.HAM at all. Why would it give a "data rejected" message all of the sudden, even when I try to change only so much as a weapon's sound? Weird as heck.
The exact wording is "This element is protected to avoid multiplayer cheating. Changes will get lost."

Never mind. Apparently my version wasn't hacked, after all. I have applied Wasabi's patch only now, and it works fine now.

The slightly less convenient method is to read the address of whatever value you wish to change from HAXMED32 and then jump to the address and edit it manually using a hex editor application. A few years ago I wanted to play some D2 single player, but also wanted to see what would have been if they hadn't nurfed Fusion, so I used that method to restore the Fusion damage to its original D1 values. As for the results; my old crowd controlling friend was back and I was very happy.

Well, un-nerfing Fusion was the primary reason why I even bothered to find out how to bypass the protextion in Haxmed32 in the first place! Of course, upgrades to lasers and spreadfire were also quite welcome :3Krom wrote:The slightly less convenient method is to read the address of whatever value you wish to change from HAXMED32 and then jump to the address and edit it manually using a hex editor application.
