I am an IT technician from Poland, C# programmer, hobbyist photographer and hobbyist video game designer. I started with Postal 2 map making, then moved to UDK, made some of the most popular Polish YouTube tutorials for it and got invited to UE4. Meanwhile I had to learn how to code in UnrealScript (Unreal engine 3 scripting language) and C# to learn what coding is. I always loved software engineering. Now I'm into reverse engineering, penetration tests, assembly editing/cracking and software/games hacking (My favourite hack is freecamera or no-clip. I just love to explore out-of-map. I don't care making hacks for invincibility or so). I'm also into photography. I worked hard to buy DSLR camera (I am still a student). Love you all. Have fun! Final Fantasy forever!
VIII research notes:
I like cats
WorldMap:
Done. Needs a lot of more technical details in documentation, but they're cracked. Thanks Halfer!

This header accesses opcodes related to Direct3D "shadow" stuff. Is highly connected to AF3DN.p
