#Reinstall original game#Issue 125
I wonder if you guys who like classic games, how many people still remember a software called "Kingsoft Rangers"? Recently, when Lao Lei was playing some old games, he suddenly remembered that these things were built up by "Kingsoft Rangers", so he thought about downloading this software online and relive the feeling of the past. As a result, many serious download packages were intercepted by Windows' own , killing , as a rogue software. It really feels like things change.
Today we will make a simple article and review the software "Kingsoft Ranger". "Kingsoft Ranger" is a modifier software that was popular among the players around the beginning of 2000. In that era when PC computers were just beginning to become popular, and when going to Internet cafes to cut "Legend" and " Zhengtu " was a bit boring, many people spent their time on various stand-alone games. At that time, the categories of stand-alone games were extremely rich. A CD store might sell games such as " Xuanyuan Sword ", " Need for Speed ", "Medal of Honor" and other games at the same time. A player may also be a fan of different types of games at the same time, unlike the current players in various circles that are extremely serious. However, the Internet speed has just evolved from dial-up to 128KB/s. The game community is not yet developed, and the strategy information is not as easy as it is now. It is definitely not easy to pass all the games at once. Against this background, a stand-alone game modifier came into being, and "Kingsoft Ranger" should be considered a typical representative here.
Many people have forgotten the interface of "Kingsoft Ranger", but they should be impressed by pressing the * key on the keyboard to call out the shortcut key to modify the interface. In fact, what we show in the screenshot is already the later "Kingsoft Ranger V", and what most people remember is probably the earlier "Kingsoft Ranger III".
The main functions of these versions of Kingsoft Rangers are not much different. They all support the most amazing memory modification - that is, the core function of Rangers. By tracking the numerical changes of specific data, it locates its memory address and then modifys it, thereby achieving the purpose of cheating.
For example, if you want to modify the money in a certain game, you only need to search for the specific money value through "Kingsoft Rangers", such as 748, and then you will find several pieces of data.
Then spend 1 yuan in the game to make money become 747. Use "Kingsoft Ranger" again to continue searching 747, and you will find that the search range will gradually shrink. Repeat the above operations and end up with only one data. This is the filtered money memory address, and just modify it to the value you want, such as 99999.
Of course, some games have transcoded or encrypted the data. If the prompt appears, "It may be that I am incompetent, or you may have operated incorrectly", it means that the game may not support the modification of "Kingsoft Ranger". You may also try the "File Modification" function specially used to modify archive files in "Kingsoft Ranger".
Because of the existence of a heaven-anti-defying artifact like "Kingsoft Ranger", the playability of many games has been greatly reduced, which has caused disgust among game developers. In order to prevent players from using "Kingsoft Rangers", developers also took great pains to prevent players from modifying it by monitoring specific shortcuts. For example, pressing the keyboard* in the game and popping up other windows will be stuck.
However, most game providers were helpless about this at that time, and had to plant various easter eggs or complain in the game to persuade players not to use modifiers to destroy the game experience. The most classic ones are like the battle between "Xuanyuan Sword Three: The Legend of Heaven" and the transformation Xing Tian at the beginning. This battle was originally a must-be defeat, but if the player has modified the level or locked blood, the number of battles lasts for the rounds, Xing Tian will start to complain that the player should not open the modifier.
shows how deep the psychological shadow of game production merchants on software like "Kingsoft Ranger".
In addition to memory modification and archive modification, Kingsoft Rangers also provides many practical functions, such as game screenshots, game screen recording, speed change gear, virtual optical drive , etc. In that era when the software resources were not rich, these tools did benefit many players. Among them, the speed change gear of "Kingsoft Ranger V" can only be used when pressing the keypad * to call out the pop-up window in the game. It has very powerful functions, and both acceleration and deceleration can be set.
Actually, I prefer to use "Kingsoft Ranger" at that time, another function is its strategy book. "Kingsoft Rangers" claims to have built-in 500 game strategies, but in fact it summarizes some strategy materials published by early masters in various communities. Now these game communities have long disappeared without a trace, and the strategies summarized by "Kingsoft Rangers" that year have become out of print.
There were no video websites and apps as developed as they are now. Everyone hasn't even gone to Tieba to discuss games, and the channels for obtaining game information are very limited. Back then, Lao Lei was watching the guide in "Kingsoft Rangers" to pass the time. If you are interested in watching any game, you will find out if there are any related CDs or resources. However, some game guides made people blush after watching it back then. Just now, Lao Lei specifically reminisces them, and they are still lying in the guide book of "Kingsoft Rangers".
Although "Kingsoft Ranger" is an exclusive game memory for many people born in the 1980s and 1990s, many people don't know that this modifier is actually a paid software, right? Nowadays, you can still find the official website of the year when searching for "Kingsoft Rangers". The web layout is still in the style of 20 years ago. Although the price is not specified, it is still marked with the purchase of the Swordsman Love OST and the game point card. Everything seems to be frozen in the past. Unfortunately, the portal of "Excellent Purchase" can no longer be opened.
I wonder if you are given another chance to use Ranger now. Which classic game do you want to modify?
