Modding Mad Max

[SNLdreamcast]

So there's a guide on extracting the game files here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=525208120.

I'm not sure how to edit and re-pack them, though. If anyone is interested/familiar with modding Avalanche engine games I'd really appreciate the help!

The Engine is not modable.
Why would you anyway? Too much time on hand?
Go and mod Fallout 4 or Skyrim if you want.

Modding a game is fun! Let's make Mel Gibson Max!

Lmao I wish dude!

I wouldn't mod it if I were you. The entire reason they say the engine isn't moddable is because it really isn't.. It uses Denuvo DRM which prevents the usage of modified files to prevent piracy, and "Modding it" or altering the files in anyway basically means the DRM considers the game to be pirated. Or attemps to anyway.. And has actually allegedly damaged hardware because of it.

The so called reason for Damaged hardware was infact the standard use of the supposed constant writing to disk is alleged to cause Damage to an SSD, apparently it's not doing this so they say.

Most of the time with these Drms they protect the Games engine executables and not specifics of media such as Textures Sounds and 3d prop models if this were the case loading times would be CRAZY SLOW.


This DRM protected Against people finding the real executable inside the Wrapper for some time as it creates and cause crashes or simply stops the person from accessing the unwrapper to memory or could even lead on a wild goose chase i've yet to look at it as i don't care.

Modding the game will be fine. Modding the Executable on the other hand will take some time and bit of know how which i don't have.


sometimes removing such DRMS can improve Performance for people with Potatos etc sometimes there's an Overhead Cost for using DRM on a EXE

Yeah just being able to edit some of the values of certain stuff (threat levels, fuel consumption, etc.) would be enough imo, but it doesn't seem possible to re-pack the files again.

Yeah I know. Denuvo is pretty notiorious.

It's been blamed for Arkham Knight before.

And the performance issues in Just Cause 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

♥♥♥♥ Denuvo DRM.

At the very minimum it is possible to use Ida Pro + hex editor, like oldschool times :)

But then, you need to be a programmer and know how to use Ida Pro.

Does anyone know any offsets to change max ammo capacity on the belt for shotty and perhaps for sniper too?

This guy is a hacker and cant be trusted.

Wow,, so now your going to stalk me after I put you to shame? I didnt hack anything, I even offered to show you how to do what I did which is not hacking.

I love how much people care in this forum on your comment BTW. Your a winner.

Why don't you just use a trainer and select infinite ammo

I feel like adding onto this by saying it is moddable, go look up the madness mod pack. That mod itself is just a bunch of cosmetics but proves this engine IS moddable.
