Yea, good idea about uploading as one part. Much less annoying. Might wanna add that link to the wiki so people know about it.

I'm having similar thoughts about the dll. I have tried several programs to little avail. Any ideas about how we can crack this open? I am almost positive what we need is in there.

Tell me which specific dll you wanna crack. Battle.net?

[BeardFist]

battle.net.dll

[Laer07]

Yep, I wanna crack battle.net.dll (the one in Starcraft II Beta/Versions/Base13891). I opened it in a disassembler, but all I got was gobledegook, so it's possible it is indeed encrypted. (Of course I could just not know what I'm doing...)

@p-On:E

As far as popular opinion: I'm not sure, I haven't been in the dev channels on IRC so I'm not sure about the conversations going on in there.

I'm also not sure about wireshark (dunno what it is).

[MiCrOMaN1]

Lol, if we can open it, then it's not encrypted. We can't do anything with the battle.net.dll file, because it just has the version info and everything. We'll need to go somewhere else with this. Even if we do edit the buttons, nothing is going to happen, because we can't do the ++ functioning required for the buttons to work...All though there might be one last resort.

does anyone know how to decompile the gfx files? i have the sdk installed but it just opens them in a player...

[MiCrOMaN1]

It seems that the .gfx files is an old Warcraft 2 Image file. They must've created .gfx files since Warcraft 2 came out. I've looked everywhere, but I don't think that you can decompile it.

[BeardFist]

no a gfx file is a new file it is a Scalefomr gfx file kinda like flash the wiki says:
Extracting and Decompiling .gfx Files The .gfx files are .swf and .cwf files. To change a gfx file to swf use a hex editor to change the first characters in the file from CFX to CWS or use the GFXASM tool that skips this step. By changing the file name to .swf you can use a decompiler to convert the .swf into a .fla file.

[MiCrOMaN1]

That's It! We could use a hex editor! GAH! I didn't think of that lol!

EDIT: LOL! NVM!

[MiCrOMaN1]

Ok guys, this stuff is way out of line. We can't do this. I quit. LOL. Unless...(Bear with me)

When I was talking about our last resort, I was talking about the debug console in the Co-Op Vs Ai menu. If we could sort of make a command that functions with the debug console, we might be able to open the map then play it. You guys in?

[Laer07]

@Microman

I don't think the debug console will be that flexible. I mean, more power to you if you think you can, and please let me know if you get it working. I just have my doubts about the debug console because, after all, it was designed by blizzard for debugging, not hacking.

@BeardFist

Ahh, you are right. Did you pull that off the wiki cuz I could swear I have seen that before. In any case, I will try that and see if I can at least convert one or two to see if scripting is indeed inside GFX files. I have made absolutely no headway on the dll file... If it was encrypted, how would we get around that? Any ideas?

[BeardFist]

no idea about dll files but have converted gfx files just dont have flash so will get that

[Laer07]

@BeardFist

Cool, let me know if you get one working, and whether there is scripting in them or not.

[MiCrOMaN1]

How did you manage to convert it?! I tried Gfxasm, but it didn't work..

[BeardFist]

if you hex edit the fist few letters from CFX to CWS and then change the extension to .swf you can use a program called swf decompiler which can export them as fla's


i wont have flash soon too tired but maybe tomorrow so i cant see if i can open them and view code
