(CORDINATES TOOL) Tell where Chuck is standing

[Wizard]

First off, I did NOT make this Script / Tool
This was made by Zaia, every bit of credit goes to him!


This script is powered by Cheat Engine, a free easy to use Program that has been around for awhile now and is trusted.

You can download it here:
www.cheatengine.org/download.php

Download the Dr2ChuckCords(SkidRow).CT script here:
www.sendspace.com/file/ptfv7p BROKEN - see possible alternative below

Also, you MUST Use SkidRow's EXE, because the script was made using Skidrow's EXE
Your on your own to get this EXE, I can't post it there since it's well...not legal (Google is your friend!)

How to use the script is super simple.
1. Download & Install Cheat Engine
2. Boot up Dead Rising 2 (using Skidrow's EXE)
3. Boot up the script by double clicking the Dr2ChuckCords(SkidRow).CT file you downloaded. (This will also boot-up Cheat-engine)
4. In the "Process"tab, in Cheat Engine, pick deadarising2.EXE

Now, pop into Dead Rising 2, walk to where you want Cords for, Pause the game to make the cords precise, pop out (if your playing full-screen) go into cheat engine, and it'll show you the X,Y, and Z Cords!


ANY Questions or Concerns, just ask!

PS: Remember, I didn't make this! Zaia did, so if u want to Thank someone, thank him

really nice job, is this the same as the green Local Player Pos?

If so what are the advantages to this?

here is another coords tool written in C

it uses the skidrow exe for the memory addresses!

you can use it to find the XYZ and rotation of items by instance names

(instance names can be found using render_props_info="True" in master.ini with debug mode enabled)

simple example:
pick up a shotgun, go to safe house, drop the shotgun on the floor, then run the command line tool:
"dr2itemplacement.exe Shotgun"

you can use partial instance names to search:
"dr2itemplacement.exe Pallet"

will find all of the pallets Pallet1 - Pallet11+ in the safehouse

I just tried this. I dont see any use for this, as local player pos in debug mode shows coordinates onscreen.

No extra programs, no having to toggle between screens.

For some reason I can't get the cords to show up in debug mode, even after making the master.ini file and setting RenderLocalPlayerPosition to True.

What's the easiest way to figure out positions for spawning weapons?

[anno1404]

debug mode, absolutely.

Go back through this three step instructions.

You probably forgot to change one of your files.

[anno1404]

After almost a year of modding dead rising 2, I am still having problems with exact rotation. I gave it a lot of thought: how can I make coordinates easy to understand? My old hummer example and screenshots was difficult to use and understand. this is what I came up with:

Mod:Coordinates

This is a good start I think, I will add more later.

SPOILER: Click to show

[anno1404]

ubiquitous brought this up, not sure which posting he is referring too:

Saw your post on rotation. one of the numbers controlled the size of certain objects as well as how rotation numbers affected it. Rotation is the last number controlled Cine_ object size I think.

[anno1404]

since we don't have debug mode to see coordinates for Off the Record, I wonder if using the two above programs is possible in Off the Record?


Attempts to get evretibia's program to work in Dead Rising 2:

I also uploaded evretibia's zip file and coding as an attachment in this post


CLOSEST I GOT THIS TOOL TO WORK:

Extract the files from the dr2itemplacement.zip you downloaded.

Click start >> Find the search bar >> In the search bar type cmd.exe.	Image: gyazo.com/750f27c4111a0da52c1f36e5671171f7
A black box will open, type in cd followed by the location of your dr2itemplacement.exe file.	Image: gyazo.com/70129d08dceaa6161e3a0d5a250e1a05

For example:
::::My dr2itemplacement.exe is located at:
:::::C:\Users\tt\Desktop\dr2itemplacement\release
::::So I would type:
:::::cd C:\Users\tt\Desktop\dr2itemplacement\release
::::The cmd line will now look like this:
:::::C:\Users\tt\Desktop\dr2itemplacement\release>

You have now redirected to the release folder in cmd.exe.

type: dr2itemplacement.exe Pallet

...nothing happens.

Nothing happens.

I have used autohotkey before, and this dr2itemplacement.c coding looks familar.

In the dr2itemplacement.c file, the program appears to want to create a txt file with all of the item's information:

FILE * file = fopen("dr2itemplacement.txt", "a");
if (file != NULL)
{
fprintf
(
file,
"cItemPlacement %s\n"
"{\n"
" ItemName = \"%s\"\n"
" Location = \"%.3f, %.3f, %.3f\"\n"
" Rotation = \"%.3f, %.3f, %.3f, %.3f\"\n"
"}\n"
"\n",
itemInstanceName,
itemInstanceName,
itemLocationX, itemLocationY, itemLocationZ,
itemRotationA, itemRotationB, itemRotationC, itemRotationD
fclose(file);

Can anyone help get this program to work?
See the posting directly above this one, with my many screenshots.
