Elovac FAQs

By SiamJai

Thought I’ll address some common questions here:

1. Is that really a Moongate? Can I use this in online moongates?
Yes and yes. Just change all values to 0 and every item in a Moongate usermap will become free to pick.

2. Isn’t that stealing?
No. This cheat doesn’t affect the original data on the server, so the next visitor will see the exact same thing that you did before you picked up anything.

3. The codes don’t work in my game. Why?
Locations in the memory change occasionally depending on how Elona loads its modules. This will affect all CE codes that don’t have static pointers, including Elovac for the time being.

4. How can I make the codes work?
Elovac can be re-tuned In four easy steps that are listed here on my blog. Also, you can see in detail how I do it, in a YouTube video.

5. I got some ideas to improve these cheats. May I?
Go ahead! Credits are appreciated but not required.

6. That music is really cool, where can I get it?
Music4YourVids.co.uk They have some really nice free-to-use stuff there.

7. I’ve got a question not addressed here. How can I get in touch?
Post your questions in the comment section here. Good ones will be added to this FAQ.

Elovac re-tuning

By SiamJai

The day may come when Elovac no longer works for your game (or didn’t work to begin with) for whatever reasons. No worries though; it’s easy to fix it. Think of it as an old piano that needs fine-tuning now and then to work as it should. This is how it goes:

  1. Get into an empty shelter.
  2. Drop an item (stacked is best).
  3. In CE, search for the amount of item you dropped.
  4. Pick up the item(s).
  5. In CE, search for 0.
  6. Add the only remaining address to the list of addresses.
  7. Offset this address by 54 using Smart Edit (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Enter).
  8. This address is the new Elovac item 1 address. Compare it with the old one.
  9. Get the difference between the new and old address using a calculator in hex mode.
  10. Using the difference, offset all the addresses in Elovac by another Smart Edit.
  11. Check it in the nearest town, when most values are 1, you got Elovac working. Congrats!

 

Check out this video where I fine-tuned Elovac using the above method:

If you have any questions, post them in the comments below. Have fun! :-)

Elovac: pick up anything, anywhere!

By SiamJai

Elovac is a series of Cheat Engine cheatcodes that enable players to pick up items from the ground, even when they’d normally not be able to. With these codes, it’s possible to pick up items on moongate usermaps, among other things. Check out Elovac in action here. And this is how to use it:

1. Open elovac1.ct in Cheat Engine.
Check the values; most of them should show the same value depending on your location:

Elovac Codesheet: what do the values mean?
Elovac Value Location Item Status
*not sure yet *other than loot *constructions
0 Home, your buildings etc. Can pick it up
1 Towns, dungeons* Cannot pick it up
2* World map Can pick it up*
4 Harvest quests Picking up takes time.
5 User maps (eum) Cannot pick it up
9* info pending info pending

 

2. Turn all 1s and 5s into 0s, so you can pick up items from local towns and online moongates. Easy as pie. :-) And now some pics in spoilers:
