===============
1) What's this?
===============

This is an offset list for the RPG Albion. It basically tells you which offset is
which in a savegame.

Okay, now I hear you say: WTF OFFSET? Well, an offset is a certain "position" in a
file, may it be a text file or a binary file. For example, the offset of the first
letter "G" in this file is most likely 0, the first position. The first semicolumn
":" is located at offset 81. If you count the characters however, you will notice
an amount of 130. This is because of two reasons. Reason one is the breaks. These
count as 2 characters. Second, offsets are always indicated as a hexadecimal number.

Each character is one byte long, so when I indicate a relative number (with +), I'll
also add how many bytes it is, so you don't have to calculate it.

===============
2) Requirements
===============

To use this, you'll need the following:

* A full copy of Albion (but I think the demo would work too, it's worth buying though)
* A savegame (doesn't matter where you are in the game)
* A hex editor (I prefer XVI32)
* A hex calculator (included in any MS Windows copy, not really needed though)
* A basic knowledge of hex editing

XVI32: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm

====================
3) Different offsets
====================

Okay, now for the thing you came for: how to bake muffins! No seriously, the offsets.
Well, first, to start, start up your hex editor and load up your savegame. Now search
for the string "XLD0I". The position of this string differs all the time. Then, go 241
bytes down. There you'll find the first Hero record. Each record is 940 bytes long.
From here the offset list begins. Note that not all offsets are checked, so stay tuned.

------------
3.1) Offsets
------------

Okay, this list starts at the beginning of the hero record. I've marked some offsets with
a questioning mark, because I don't know what they are, or I'm not sure about these ones.
If you do know, please contact me. Also, a $ indicates a hexadecimal value. C indicates
the amount of characters the offset uses.

3.2) Races
----------

Albion has different races. In total there are eight races.

Hex Race
======================
00 Terran
01 Iskai
02 Celtic
03 Kenget Kamulos
04 Dji Cantos
05 Mahino
06 Decadent
07 Umajo

------------
3.3) Classes
------------

Albion has different classes. In total there are nine classes, one being a duplicate.

Hex Class
=======================
00 Pilot
01 Scientist
02 Warrior
03 Dji-Kas Mage
04 Druid
05 Enlightened One
06 Technician
08 Oqulo Kamulos
09 Warrior

----------------
3.4) Magic Types
----------------

There are four different types of magic you can preform. I call them type 01, 02, 04 and
08, each representing the hex value. You can combine them together by adding the hex
number up. For example, if you want to have all the different types of spells, use the
hex 0F.

All spells are bound to a certain type. Here is the list which magic modifier belongs to
which magic type.

Magic Type Magic Modifiers
===============================
01 1, 2, 3
02 4, 5
04 6, 7
08 8, 9

--------------
3.5) Languages
--------------

There are three languages known in Albion. You can learn more than one langage at a time
though. To combine them, add the hex number up. This works the same as the magic types.

Hex Language
================
01 Terran
02 Iskai
04 Celtic

------------------------------------------
3.6) Appearance / Face / Inventory Picture
------------------------------------------

In Albion you can play with different characters. Here you can change their appearances.
All three share the same picture hex.

Hex Person
================
01 Tom
02 Rainer
03 Drirr
04 Sira
05 Mellthas
06 Harriet
07 Joe
09 Khunag
0A Siobhan

---------------------
3.7) Character Status
---------------------

This is the place to modify the character position. This can be very helpful if one of
your characters has an illness or is unconcious. If the bytes are 0, your character has
none of the statuses. Just like the magic types and languages, you can add them up.

Hex Status
===================================
0100 Unconscious
0200 Poisoned
0400 Ill
0800 Exhausted
1000 Paralyzed
2000 Fled
4000 Intoxicated
8000 Blind
0001 Panicking
0002 Asleep
0004 Insane
0008 Irritated

----------
3.8) Items
----------

Items are a bit more complicated than other items. First you need to deal with the ammount.
Also, some weapons have charges. Next thing is the fact that some weapons break. Last, we
actually need the items themselves. Basically, items work like this:

Offset Name Type
============================
00 Quantity BYTE
01
02
03
04 Item Modifier WORD

--------------
3.9) Item list
--------------

Items are nice and all, but what modifier belongs to which item? Here is a list of the
items. It is not complete though, but it has a lot of items. Note that the hex value is
always reversed. I will group each item in different groups, the group is the second byte.
For example, a dagger belongs to group 00, so the hex value would be 0300. It is actually
item number 0003, but most games tend to reverse these numbers.
