HocusEditor is a modding tool for Hocus Pocus written by Hisymak, primarily it is a level editor. Since later versions it became more complex modding tool, which can also export and import game resources, edit graphics, and patch the game executable.
nice!
I hope there was another improvement on the game though, one that improves the framerate because it is capped as far as I can tell and it's kinda low...
Hocus Pocus offers three speed settings via the options meu: slow (17.5 fps), medium (20 fps) and fast (23 1/3 fps).
You can hack the game executable to modify these speeds, but keep in mind that increasing the framerate will also increase the game speed. Runnig the game at 60 or 70 fps will probably make it unplayable. If you still want to know how to hack the executable, just ask.
well there's no real benefit to modify it like that unless somehow you can double the framerate/speed but at the same time half the speed of the rest of the stuff - which I assume it would have been done if it was that easy
thanks for the offer though 😀
