Here are FLA generated by this program and SWF it made from.

Thanks man!

I thought that this was a flash file no? If it is..how come it's not playing in my flash player?

Wow, nice cracking. Seems I was at least partially right though, there is indeed scripting inside of the .gfx files. Although there wasn't any useful code in the ones I saw, that doesn't mean it might not be in other files (MainUI.gfx, etc.) I would think the call to load the maplists wouldn't be in the WindowMapList.gfx file, but rather at some point before that, as the user will need the maps loaded before they actually see the Map List window.

I still haven't really gotten anywhere with cracking battle.net.dll, though the information on the wiki was useful (btw, is the wiki down for everyone else?).

Yo Laer!

Still with that battle.net.dll?

Anyways, I tried to open the flash player that MADCATZ gave me, but it seems that it's actually not a playable flash file. There is the scripting and everything, yet...I think that our answer lies in Battle.net.MPQ. By the way, the site is down, yet you can still access it from here: http://inquistor.info/darkblizz/wiki/doku.php?id=tutorials

Generally Blizzard .MPQ files only contain models and animations.  I haven't looked in Battle.net.MPQ though.

[Laer07]

Yea, I have also browsed thoroughly through the battle.net.MPQ file. That's where I found a lot of .GFX files that I think need a closer look. I also found XML files, though most of it had to do with game strings, no useful info.

Other than that, Andrige is right, it's mostly textures and images for the UI.

But I again I would say, perhaps the .GFX files contain the location it looks at for the map files. However, there are a lot of .GFX files 

[MiCrOMaN1]

Well what can we do now..? I don't think that any of the .gfx files contain the location of where the maps go...Since they are on a server, our only last shot to making Starcraft 2 Playable is....Making a private server. Since starcraft 2 doesn't support lan, it might be harder. :\

(Disclaimer, I know almost nothing about packets/server interaction, this is just theory)


Just for curiousity, I wonder if you'd find if you ran a WC3 emulated server (if there even are any, I never played the game) or a WoW server, and changed your hostfile to redirect to yourself. Assuming they kept the same style login as either game, maybe one could be tweaked at accept a login?

[ReVoke]

Don't think so since SC2 is going to be using Battle.net 2.0 insted of the regular Battle.net which Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft uses. and im not sure WoW is patched up for battle.net 2.0 yet.

@microman these are flash actionscript files you cannot open with flash player but with flash cs4 and such

[MiCrOMaN1]

When I meant flash, I meant Adobe Flash CS4 Pro; I have it. I opened it and tried to edit and all I get is a black screen. Same thing when I try and play it.

[MADCATX]

I searched battle.net.gfx file for strings, there is no config Strings in this file, only the various functions to get info about maps, etc...
The game connects to following hosts(netstat -b -n):
 12.129.206.131:1119
 12.129.242.21:80 (Breaking News Dialog)

Someone who have active sc2 key need to log all packets from/to this server, then we can emulate bnet.

Can we lock this Topic? It seems that we're posting multi-genre subjects in one Topic. Hackers! If you got any info then post it in the Dev Team Section
