RTK 3 Historical Officer Data
After having played this a few times, I started getting frustrated at the spelling mistakes (eg.Huang Quan -> Lei Quan) and the stupid stats that some officers had (eg. Han Hao). So I went into the data files with my trusty X-Tree Gold hex editor and editted various stats and names. A while ago, I decided to go a bit further, altering troops and rank as well. I don't as yet know about all the variables, but here's a brief overview of the data.
The data consists of 69 bytes. Let's use Guan Yu's as an example:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 |
| 1 | 1E | 00 | 7D | 00 | 98 | 08 | 80 | 00 | 4D | CD | 00 | 00 | 50 | 00 | 01 | 64 |
| 2 | 4E | 62 | 52 | 40 | 60 | 4B | 64 | 64 | 05 | 02 | 01 | FF | 00 | FF | 32 | 28 |
| 3 | 00 |
00 | 00 | A2 | FF | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | | 4 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 47 | 75 | 61 | 6E | 20 | 59 | 75 | 00 | 00 | 00 |
| 5 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 00 |
1.1-1.2: Guan Yu's portrait
1.5-1.6: The amount of troops that Guan Yu has (2200)
1.7-1.8: Items held by Guan Yu (Blade Dragon). The first digit shows weapon, the second shows books, the third shows whether the character has the Hereditary Seal and the fourth number shows any horses and the Medical Book of Hua Tuo. To show multiple items of the same kind, just add the numbers together.
Weapons: 1 - Luminous Sword, 2 - Sword of Trust, 4 - Sword of the Seven Stars, 8 - Blade Dragon.
Books: 1 - War Manual of Sun Tzu*, 2 - New Treatise of Meng De, 4 - Supreme Book of Magic, 8 - Way of Piece.
Having the Hereditary Seal is denoted by 1, otherwise the stat is 0. Horses: 1 - Red Horse (known to most of you as Red Hare), 2 - Dilu Horse, 4 - Black Lightning, 8 - Medical Book of Hua Tuo.
* There are multiple copies of the War Manual of Sun Tzu available, and it is possible for an officer to have more than one. How that is done, I have no idea at the moment.
1.13: Age stat. The higher the number, the longer the officer lives. Thanks to Xiahou Mao for finding this one.
1.15: This is Guan Yu's rank. The numbers are 00 - ruler, 01 - advisor, 02 - general, 03 - military officer, 04 - civil officer, 06 - free officer that can be found at the current time, 07 - free officer who can not be found at the current time.
1.16-2.5: Guan Yu's stats, in the order army command, navy command, war ability, intelligence, politics and charm. In base 10, this is 100, 78, 98, 82, 64, 96.
2.6: Guan Yu's compatibility stat. Officers with similar compatibility stats will get on better. For example, Guan Yu, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei will all be fairly similar.
2.7: Guan Yu's honour. The higher the honour, the less likely the officer will betray his ruler. For example, Guan Yu needs a fairly low loyalty to be recruited by another ruler, but L� Bu (honour of 2) would do it even if his loyalty is high.
2.8: Guan Yu's loyalty to his current ruler. Free officers start with 0, for obvious reasons. Rulers also start with 0.
2.9: Guan Yu's starting city (Ping Yuan), denoted by city number - 1. Early free officers will have this included, but some later officers will start with FF to show that they show up at random locations. Not that they do. I've become quite irritated by the fact that Pang De always starts in Jian Ye.
2.10: Guan Yu's starting ruler (Liu Bei). Rulers also have a number here, and any officers with the same number will be serving that
ruler. Free officers have FF.
2.11: Guan Yu's length of service. All the officers start off with 1, but you can tinker with it to reflect true length of service.
2.15-2.16: Guan Yu's troops' training and morale (50 and 40).
3.4: This is Guan Yu's year of birth in hex, which happens to be 162 in base 10.
4.7-5.5: Guan Yu's name in hex. The string terminates at the first 00.
The rest I have either not yet figured out what they are, are of no significance, or are only of use in saved games (eg. has completed a task). There's probably something involving when the officer first appears as well, so that Zhuge Liang doesn't appear until he's in his 20's.
