Skip Tutorial

Skipping the tutorial can be a desired feature for veterens of the game. The game by default offers this functionality if you have more then 1 profile or if you already have a creature on the current profile.

Procedure

When a new game is started the method GGame::OnNewGame(void *this) calls the following static method:

void GGame::DoYesNoSkipTutorialRequestersIfNecessary()
{
    if ( PlayerProfile::GetNumberOfProfiles() > 1 || g_Game->CurrentProfileHasACreature() )
    {
        PauseGame(1);
        g_SkipBox->Show();
    }
}

Depending on the action taken by the user in the skip box dialog, GGame constants are changed to skip the tutorial. Knowing this we can simple remove the if condition required to show the skip dialog so the method would read:

void GGame::DoYesNoSkipTutorialRequestersIfNecessary()
{
    PauseGame(1);
    g_SkipBox->Show();
}

Patch

The method GGame::DoYesNoSkipTutorialRequestersIfNecessary() is a function at .text:0054CBD0 to .text:0054CC22. The condition can simply be patched out by simply replacing .text:0054CBF4 to .text:0054CC0B with 0x90 (NOP).

After these changes the game will prompt you to skip the tutorial on new game regardless of if you have a profile already.
