Preparation

First, you will need to acquire Cheat Engine. It is a reputable open source application. It allows us to view, and alter, the code of The Nexus.

In short... it works similarly to how the red pill is described: "it disrupts your input/output carrier signals so we can pinpoint your location."

(Which means Koguryo... is going bye bye.)

Getting Started

Log into The Nexus as you normally would. A freshly created character works fine. You'll just need a Wooden saber to begin.

Start up Cheat Engine (it will need administrative access to access The Nexus' memory)

Once both are running, you may begin.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Inside of Nexus, wield a "Wooden saber".
2. Inside of Cheat Engine, look for this icon at the top left: (and click it).
3. A window will appear with a list of processes running on your machine. Type NEXUS to filter the list. Then... click open.

4. Change the "Value Type" to "2 Bytes".
5. Type 1 into the "Value" textbox, and click "First Scan".
6. Inside of Nexus, unwield the "Wooden saber".
7. Inside of Cheat Engine, type 65535 into the "Value" textbox, and click "Next Scan".
   What is the significance of 65535? Got it.

   65536 is the number of values one can represent with 16 binary digits (or bits). In many computer systems 2¹⁶ is the number of values an "unsigned short integer" can attain. Thus, the range of available values is 0 to 65535.
   
   This should filter out the list of discovered addresses down to only a handful, potentially connected to your "Weapon" code.
8. Find the code which ends in 1A6... right-click on it, and select "Copy selected addresses".

9. Paste the address here:
   
10. (the next step will appear after you enter the found address in the box above) Click the code below to copy it to your clipboard. Then, inside of Cheat Engine, click the bottom-most section and paste.
    Wait, where do I paste this code? Got it.

    

Once you paste the code into Cheat Engine, your RSI will be revealed.

See the table below for an further information on how to use these values:

Description	Address	Type	Value(s)
Weapon	###	2 Bytes	Swords (0-436) Staves (10000-10125) Bows (20000-20137) Fans (30000-30020)
Weapon Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535)
X Coordinates	###	2 Bytes	Changing this value moves you around within view.
Y Coordinates	###	2 Bytes	Changing this value moves you around within view.
Skin Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-32, and loops)
Face	###	2 Bytes	(200-238)
Face Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the hair dye.
Hair	###	2 Bytes	(0-173)
Hair Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the skin dye.
Body	###	2 Bytes	(0-353) After 353, your body will vanish.
Coat	###	2 Bytes	(0-429)
Body and Coat Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the weapon dye.
Shield	###	2 Bytes	(0-55)
Shield Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the helmet dye.
Helmet	###	2 Bytes	(0-151)
Helmet Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the face accessory dye.
Face Accessory	###	2 Bytes	(0-56)
Face Accessory Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the head accessory dye.
Head Accessory	###	2 Bytes	(0-515)
Head Accessory Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the facial hair dye.
Facial Hair	###	2 Bytes	(0-56) NOTE: This is the facial hair slot but basically accesses the same graphics as Face Accessory
Facial Hair Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the mantle dye.
Mantle	###	2 Bytes	(0-161)
Mantle Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the necklace dye.
Necklace	###	2 Bytes	(0-37)
Necklace Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the shoes dye.
Shoes	###	2 Bytes	(0-52)
Shoes Dye	###	2 Bytes	(0-65535) After 255 it will change the shoes dye.
State of Being	###	2 Bytes	0: human 1: ghost 2: invisible 3: activates mount graphics 4: human again 5: invis faded 6+ just gets jumpy (when name is visible)
Mount	###	2 Bytes	(0-52) Note: Works better when using an actual mount rather than changing "state of being" to "3".
Mount Dye	###	2 Bytes	-
Mount Seat Adjustment	###	2 Bytes	Adjusts vertical height (in pixels)
Morph Dye	###	Byte	The address for this is technically the same as "hair". Must be morphed in-game for this to work.
Morph Number (0-255)	###	Byte	The address for this is technically the same as "face". Must be morphed in-game for this to work. How this works: The Morph Number (this) and the Morph Page (next) work together. This number can only go from (0-255). Once Morph Page is changed to 129, you'll be able to access the next "page" of morphs. For example... using the spell "Feral" (obtained at lvl 10 via Rogue path), you can transform into a Puppy, Mongrel, Cat, Piglet, or Pig. When morphing into a Mongrel, the morph number will be 103, and morph page will be 128 (page 1)... whereas morphing into a Cat changes the morph number to 195, and morph page to 129 - this is because the ID for Cat is 451 (451 - 256 = 195). So if you know the ID of the morph you would like to appear as, just do the math!
Morph Page (starts at 128)	###	2 Bytes	Must be morphed in-game for this to work. Start with 128, and adjust to 129 for each "page". See above examples for more info.

Additional Tips & Tricks

Locking in your RSI

Once you have adjusted your RSI, you'll be tempted to wander the world, and explore... hoping your appearance will stay in tact. You'll quickly notice it will reset when changing maps (entering/exiting areas, like Kugnae, to Buya, or from one inn to another).

There is a fix for this - and it's a simple one. Simply check "Active" on the line-item inside of Cheat Engine to "freeze" the current value, and lock it in place. The shortcut for this is spacebar, when the line is selected.

Toggling through graphics

You may quickly find it is tedious to change the value of each line item, while enjoying its graphical output in The Nexus

There is also a fix for this - it just requires slight configuring.
