Challenge Mode went POOF!

[Redbone]

Help! I was playing Challenge Mode when suddenly, it crashed! I re-entered Kid Mystic and Challenge Mode wasn't there. Is there a way to fix this?

[Julian]

Are you sure it's on the right profile? Also, did you save after you got Challenge mode? If you didn't, then you'll have to get it again, because you never had it in your save file.

Things aren't relative to profiles in Kid Mystic. :p
Hmmm, check in your Kid Mystic folder - is there a challenge.sav file? I think that's where it stores your progress in challenge mode. It probably got corrupted somehow, though whether it's enabled might be stored elsewhere. If that file is gone, that'd be a problem, I'd imagine.

Apparently, it's stored in the options.cfg. I'm trying to find out which byte determines whether Challenge mode is active right now, more on that later... maybe.

EDIT: Found it. It's the very first byte. It's a flag; set it to 01 for Challenge mode to be active; 00 deactivates it. Can't tell you whether that would work flawlessly for you, though, as it appears your options.cfg got corrupted somehow and other data might get stored in that file after you first earn Challenge mode which might be required to run it (and is probably lost now if that file got messed up). -o_-o

[Redbone]

And how exactly do I edit a cfg file?

Use a Hex Editor :P

[Redbone]

Do you know any good hex editors then? How about the one you used?

I use Hex-Wizard; a Google search should bring up some download links. The only problem is that its help file is in German -o_-o

[Redbone]

Thanks. I'll search it.

Aah, I can't change anything!
You might have to teach me how to use it.

I use XVI32 ( think that's the name... I know it's XVI). Super simple to use, just type in the new value and hit save.

I don't recall ever having to do anything other than that in Hex-Wizard either :P Just open the file, click the very first byte displayed (two digits, should be either "00" or "01") and type in a new value, then save :D Nothing difficult about that.

Hx Wizard ist ein übersichtlicher HEX-Editor mit Spaltenansicht für ASCII/HEX.

Drat it. :p

[Redbone]

Thanks, got it.
