If your using MysteryPT Full client install game.exe wont work maybe hex the admin.exe from using LocalPT.ini and rename to game.exe so players can use that instead.

Thats what i have done.

 

[WinSocket]

use this command on execute menu.
game.exe /pt

your game will run
or can you remove this function using olly.

Function:
005B2A35 - E9 3103F003 JMP 044B2D6B
005B2A3A 90 NOP
005B2A3B 90 NOP

change to
005B2A35 . 8945 98 MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-68],EAX
005B2A38 . F645 C8 01 TEST BYTE PTR SS:[EBP-38],1

save and run again game.exe

another question about admin.exe - when i log to "admin" account, everything goes fine. but when i login another account i created, after loading screen i get "disconnect with server" message. why is it?

Because the Admin client is insecure. So it can be used on any server (not just the one the original MPT team hosted) so instead it can only be used by Administrators. Not regular players.

Either you use their server (now closed down) with the regular client, or your own as the Administrator. No "players" can connect to your server with their client.

Understood
So how can i hex it and change it to game.exe so players can log in?

I wouldn't try that, because it sounds too difficult for too little gain. I'd probably give up before I got that done.

I would try WinSockets' suggestion (thanks WinSocket) because that's well written and sounds like just the trick.

I haven't tried though, so please let us know how you get on following his instructions. ^_^

Thanks bob and Winsocket. Could you guys tell us how to this in details "use this command on execute menu.
game.exe /pt" sorry for my noob. I'm sure I have had no idea how to use olly. Thank you!

 

[WinSocket]

If you use win7 can u use this method:

or can you use this method


Remembering that this is an example

Hi,
I tried execute game.exe like winsocket said, but still nothing happened :-(

 

[bobsobol]

Is this with the Admin client and non-admin player? I think that's what most people are trying. To lock the player security back into the admin client.

hi,

what i did is install regular MPT client, and then unzip admin files into the client folder.
from admin.exe, i can log only to admin account.

how to lock the player security back so regular player can log in?

thanks,
ziv

I think that's what

You must be registered to see links

is telling you. You can't use Olly on the release client, but most people are renaming admin.exe to game.exe, overwriting the unmodifiable (and infected) release version.

As bobosol said for people to connect to my server all i did was rename admin.exe and hex edit out the hotuk used for GM access out of the players client like mpt files use savedata/localpt.ini just remove that line from Admin.exe and rename it to game.exe

 

[zivbarlas]

thank alot for all of you.
I deleted the local ini file abd renamed admin.exe to game.exe and everything works great now
