Priston Tale Updater server creator.

I don't have permission to share Moons work. But it is hardly different from the one in the afore mentioned thread. The differences that exist, I have stated.

How did you "force setfile.lst to download game.exe"? It should do so anyway, but you can move the game.exe record (complete with all fields, date and CRC most importantly) to be at the front of the list.

If any fields are wrong... the updater will just keep downloading the same file. XD

I just edited the game.exe name inside the setfile.lst file, but it doesnt want to download, I deleted two files, my updater shows that it have to download 2 files, but it just closes suddenly without downloading anything. >.<

--
I deleted another file, EPT updater shows for a short period of time. [0/3] in the download status, but it doesnt even start downloading anything...

Well... changing the string, clearly, will not work. At the very least, for the reasons I gave above... but it may present other problems reading the file too.

Moons edit at 0042D0E0, you will see three occurrences of the repeating sequence:-

Code:

---

97 8B 8B 8F C5 D0 D0 9A 8A 8F 9B 9E 8B 9A D1 8F
8D 96 8C 8B 90 91 8B 9E 93 9A D1 9C 90 92 D0 8F
8C 8B 9E 93 9A D0 8A 8F 9B 9E 8B 9A D1 9E 8C 8F

---

which he replaced with sequences of

Code:

---

97 8B 8B 8F C5 A3 A3 8B 96 8D A3 8A 8F 9B 9E 8B
9A D1 97 8B 92 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

That should enable you to make EPT.exe exactly equivalent to Moons LunarPT psupdate.exe.

If you can figure out exactly what that change does (if it's important) please share with us. :D:

I should look that in EPT.exe ?

this is what I have for that offset in ept.exe:

Code:

Top one, very close to the Address quoted, yes.

Should not be code, since it's in the .data section... but that could be to fool us.

the data you gave is is this:

Code:

---


0012FC00  68 74 74 70 3A 5C 5C 74 69 72 5C 75 70 64 61 74  http:\\tir\updat
0012FC10  65 2E 68 74 6D 00                                e.htm.

---

Also, I saw this IP:


004201AC=EPT.004201AC (ASCII "http://74.200.4.139/updateURL/update.asp")
ESI=00400000 (EPT.00400000)

moons server?

those sequence of bytes can be easily decrypted by something like this:

Code:

---

byte[] new = new byte[sizeof(byte_array)];

for(int i=0;i<sizeof(byte_array);i++)
{
    new[i] = !byte_array[i]; // NOT DL
}

---

the reverse process to encrypt is valid too.

I would be very grateful if you can make it work bob =p

I presume that is binary NOT, rather than logical NOT then. Since !0 = -1, !1=0, !2=0, !3=0, !4=0 etc. XD (logically NOTed, not Binary NOTed) So, more of a shorthand from XOR -1 then really. :wink:

"http://74.200.4.139/updateURL/update.asp" is the EPT server, not Luna.

And the "data" I gave was :-

Code:

---

97 8B 8B 8F C5 D0 D0 9A 8A 8F 9B 9E 8B 9A D1 8F 8D 96 8C 8B 90 91 8B 9E 93 9A D1 9C 90 92 D0 8F 8C 8B 9E 93 9A D0 8A 8F 9B 9E 8B 9A D1 9E 8C 8F

Not sure where you got http://tir/update.htm, but that was the last host I set up for getting patches. It would only work my side of my LAN firewall, of course "tir" is not a registered internet domain name, it's just the host name of my web server. :wink:

--- EDIT ---
Or, you mean that repeating string is http://tir/update.htm NOTed? (XOR -1) XD That makes sense. Thanks. :D:

yes, its a binary NOT, I guess NOT is ! in C#.

--edit

Code:

---

            for (var i = 0; i < j.Length; i++)
            {
                var not_temp = Convert.ToInt32(j[i]) + 1;
                nv[i] = Convert.ToByte( (not_temp * -1) & 0xFF );
            }

---

the BITWISE NOT is just (number + 1) * -1

I made a program to encrypt and decrypt the strings.

here is the link.
to decrypt, fill the textbox with the byte sequence. ie: "978B8B8F"

I already changed the link but the updater doesnt want to download my missing file >.<

here is my PTBr.exe that I got from bobsobol's ptdownloaders thread.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/cqkp8m
it is configured to read from http://127.0.0.1/pstale/update.asp I'd like someone to test it to see if everything is working fine or if it is just here that it doesnt work.

(they don't allocate enough memory to hold the indexes of more files)

Dear bro,
The currently my client is 28k~29k file, but makeups supported maximum 20k, i can't created complete for setfile va setdir for client.Please help us, upgrade the MakeUps ? thank you.

Just use your noggin.
Make one single installer exe that people download to get the game, then only use the updater for the EXTRA files you add in to update the game.
Use the updater as an updater, not a full game downloader.

The updater is shyte and should never be used to send 30,000 files.
Even on a direct lan connection it took 2 days for it to download and unzip all 30k+ files.

So, just use it for it's intended purpose, as an updater.

Dear Bro,

Thanks for relpy. Okay, I just create the setfile and setdir in the update versions.
