Magic Lamp Old Value Reader

This mod will change a small thing with your interaction with Halcyon through the Magic Lamp. Normally when you have found a fact, you need to enter a new value without knowing what the old value was. When this mod is enabled (and is not broken with game updates), it will show you the old value in the prompt where you need to enter the new value.

No frustrations anymore when an empty value gets applied after you pressed Escape!

Note from June 10th, 2015: I created this mod some time ago, and I quickly lost interest in Hack 'n' Slash after I noticed how limited the modding API was (also because of Double Fine stealth-patching certain, although unsafe, methods I used, without DF mentioning these changes somewhere, thanks again for the awesome communication DF! No... really... /s). My mod contains a rough idea of how to inject custom code in the Lua assembly code. I'm unsure if other and better tools exist nowadays. If not, go ahead and adept the code to your likings, just be sure to give me credit for that part of the code.

I probably don't have the source files anymore either, so I'm unable to fix issues if there are any. It worked last year, so if nothing drastically changed, it should still work. Have fun ;)

At the start of loading your save, it will try to inject assembly code that will trigger when you use the lamp. This mod will only work with values that are one of the following: a string, a number or a boolean. Yes, this means that you can even change stuff that is a table with the lamp. Currently, I do not know of an easy way to support a table as well. Even if I were able to do this, the game will still crash when trying to load data from the table (since when you change it, it will be a string instead, and a string != a table).

It's probably overly complicated for such a trivial change (I mean, it only changes a few lines in Lua), but hey, here goes a first mod that actually changes something in the code that's not related to translations, however small it may be :P. Have fun!
