Morphing Tools
If you ever want to load a tool twice for some reason or
just morph a tool (like Mad Misery did with master.aol 3.0)
there is an easy way to do this. For example lets say I wanted
to change master.aol's ID so that AOL wouldn't say "Not Authorized
to use the master tool." All you have to do is first run the
manage tool option under master.aol 3.0 and get the current
Tool ID (TID) of the tool you want to morph. Lets say I wanted
to morph the master tool (current ID 38) to an unused ID like
1004. To morph, open the tool with your favorite hex editer...(I
prefer HexWorkshop) goto the bottom of the tool until you
see "AOL_MODULE_INFO..." Now right after this line the tool
ID is present (38). To morph the tool simply edit this number
only to 1004 (or whatever). Since supersub.dll only requests
this information from a tool it loads, the tool is completely
morphed.
Remember not all IDs will work but most do. To see if you
really got this morhing thing down, run Misery's Run_1st.exe.
Now instead of using Misery's morphed tool (by ruuning the
Run_2nd.exe) try to do it yourself. Remeber you need the TID
of master. aol before you can morph it.. Now with most tools
you can do a "Find and Replace" from your hex editor and just
replace all TIDs with the desired TID, and this will save
you some time by not having to find the "AOL_MODULE_INFO."
Remeber be creative and change some IDs....I can get four
master.aol loaded, a designer, a rainman, an area manager,
and the art tool loaded all at the same time.
