Priston Tale Vietnam
Last Edition v10.57.2
Last Edition v10.57.2
No XTrap
Hey all. So someone asked me to make a video tutorial on removing XTrap from this client. (in a PM)
Once you are used to the way various clients work without XTap, and can watch what a client does with XTrap, I just kind of "sniff" my way around the code snipping bits that look "odd". I can't tell you anything about it other than that. They just don't look like normal XTrap free client code... Or, just occasionally, they stick out like a sore thumb as being definitely XTrap code. (when they are calling LoadLibrary() on an XTrap DLL or passing ASCII strings full of Hex characters back and fourth)
Last Version:questionmark: Top tip: Don't ask bobsobol to post stuff in a PM. I don't appreciate it. Make a post, ask the community and as a member of that community I may well be the one who fulfils your request. :glare:
Okay, there's no way I could respond to that request... or any for the English or Brazilian client either. You can either do it or you can't, a video of me going through the client in single-step, going "hmm, I don't like the look of that. Let's try it without." modify, re-run "Okay, that didn't work, let's find out why not." re-run in single-step "Ah I see. Let's try this" for 5 hrs is either going to be frustrating because you can already see why it won't work, and screaming "No! Not that one, pull the other routine you divit!" or your going to be scratching your head (or Dangle-Plums... or maybe that's the same thing) going "Why? No... wait... seriously... WTF are you trying to achieve? Why this one and not that one?"

The thing with PTVn is that it is no longer a "going concern". The Vietnamese servers where taken down. So... although the assets still essentially belong to Yedang, the client (as it is packaged) is basically "abandonware". (it's not, in the sense that there are other servers in other parts of the world commercially supporting their own versions derived from the same source, so if you take these assets and use them in regions covered by those official servers, you are still "being naughty") but as it is, and if you want to use this client at home, behind the privacy of your own router I see no issue with you doing so.
The ReleaseSo with all that in mind, I see this as a great opportunity to give Devs a complete client which cannot (in it's current state) connect to any official server, but does show how official clients are built and released to players by the official developers.
You can make this connect to your server (a fair amount of skill is required to do this) and play at home, with friends, try out your "skillz" and learn.
We don't have a "Vietnamese" server. (One which this client can connect to) But I know the people in Vietnam do. It would be great if someone could teach us, here at RaGEZONE, how to make that work right. Or perhaps someone among our regulars would like the challenge?

I make this release at a time when major file hosts are dropping like flies. MEGAUpload was recently taken down by the F.B.I. and their competitors are closing their doors, crashing under the weight of their loss or generally clamping down what they allow users to share. So I'm trying a number of different mirrors, hoping to find one that stands out. Feel free to use this thread to let us know which hosts where good, bad, indifferent, down etc. Let us know any other file hosts you would recommend. :

The creators and maintainers of the now closed Vietnamese Priston Tale official server are responsible for everything here which doesn't belong to Yedang / Triglow.
The only part I can take any credit for, is removing XTrap.
Cheers.
