eezstreet Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I had a bit of a thought on this. Since some people are interested in having the JKHub master server but don't want OpenJK/can't use the All Seeing Eye, perhaps I could hex-edit the jamp.exe or jamp.bin for people to be able to connect to the JKH master server. I would ultimately want to release these for people to use, but I don't know how to figure piracy into this (since I suppose distributing EXEs would be like...illegal, y'know).@@Raz0r - san, @@ensiform - san, @@Xycaleth - san, give me guidance. (also, I'll totally hex-edit cracked EXEs for $$$, under the premise that you don't distribute it) afi and Circa like this
ensiform Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Hex edits will flag them as no-cd type patches and fail to pass checksum checks.
mrwonko Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Release as patch/diff, that should be fine. Or just sed masterjk3.ravensoft.com for master.jkhub.org with some null padding.
Xycaleth Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Two ways I guess. 1) Provide a program which applies a patch to the jamp.exe file. But you'll hit the checksum problem like @@ensiform mentioned. 2) Provide a program to launch jamp.exe, and then patch the exe at runtime.
ensiform Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Could always release the patch with no-cd and prevent the anti-tamper from triggering.

Futuza Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I'm not sure why someone go through the time and effort to install a edited exe, if they won't install openjk or take any of the other solutions. Not sure it is worth your time eezstreet.
Xycaleth Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Yus, or just get people to use OpenJK :3 If people don't like the new folder structure, you could compile the 'portable' version which writes/reads files in the same way as vanilla exes.

Not sure it is worth your time eezstreet.JA+ people would benefit, not that I really support such activities. MB2 people very frequently use nonstandard EXEs and I don't think they are on OpenJK yet

Smoo Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 This woulda been good for 1.00 as well. But alas it isn't needed atm :ap
mrwonko Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 What? Who plays 1.00 and why? I kind of almost see why some play JK2 1.02, but JKA 1.00?
Artemis Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 What? Who plays 1.00 and why? I kind of almost see why some play JK2 1.02, but JKA 1.00?Oh no, not this again. Some of us like 1.00 for the community... and stuff. This woulda been good for 1.00 as well. But alas it isn't needed atm :apDo you know if Daniel was messing around with the .exe? I'm pretty sure he edited it for something and people were using it client-side. Iburidu likes this
Lazarus Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Do the new kids on the block (from humble bundle) know there was a patch from ravensoft after they install it? JKA has no autoupdater, so i wouldnt be suprised if they are on the vanilla version. You have to go google to find this information. Dont asume this group of people have found the patch automaticly.

Dont asume this group of people have found the patch automaticly.Was there even a non-steam version in that bundle? Because those using Steam will have the latest version.
Lazarus Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 It goes through steam? didn't knew that. Thought it came just as download.
Smoo Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 You can either redeem it on steam or just download a normal windows version if ya don't got steam I think
Smoo Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Also, there's a few who still play on 1.00 mostly to play around with the glitches as they can be fun. Such as bugged models, sabergun, glitches in maps amd such. And there is still a commuunity there, not as big as back in the day but it still there lol
eezstreet Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Oh no, not this again. Some of us like 1.00 for the community... and stuff.Change protocol cvar???Profit
Iburidu Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Oh no, not this again. Some of us like 1.00 for the community... and stuff. Do you know if Daniel was messing around with the .exe? I'm pretty sure he edited it for something and people were using it client-side. I'm Daniel. I can remove that CRC check easily from jamp.exe, I have already done that on 1.00 client side. What do you want to create exactly? Should I exchange masterjk3.ravensoft.com to master.jkhub.org in the jamp.exe? Write email about it for me: daniel@jediacademy.hu I published a jamp.exe for 1.00 with built-in cvarhack, maxpackets upper limit remover, working no-cd crack. It can be found here: jediacademy.hu/files
