[Development] Offline GunZ

[PenguinGuys]

"What's the point in playing GunZ, offline?"
The key point is actually being able to play GunZ without having to have internet connection.
Depends on my mood and which server(s) want this option, it will automatically update your stats to the servers database when you decide to play online.

(So say, you are level 18 and decide to go play on a road trip. On the trip you gain 4 levels. After you are online, it will automatically update and you will be level 22 when you play online.)

Here's the ingredients to whoever else wishes to do this.
-Detour a whole shit load of functions. (ZPostLogin, ZPostCreateChar, ZPostCreateMyChar/DeleteMyChar, ZPostChannelChat, etc.)

-XML parsing. (For shop, inventory, character, etc.)

-AI programming. (A lot of vector handling and trigonometry. Haven't thought this out completely, but I know most of the functions to attack.)

-Basic bot chatting. (Have a list of words bots read, and attempt to piece them together on user input.)

Here's my progress so far.
1. Have the server show w/o Locator.
2. Login w/o MatchServer & Locator.
3. Basic XML library.
4. Create character. (Didn't do delete character yet.)

I've tried this before and failed, but now I feel I have enough knowledge to complete this. This project I am dedicated to, and I will finish.

Nice man, good luck :D

[Number12]

This is a great idea man. This woulda been awesome when I use to play >.< xD

[Arcelor]

Finally D:.
Support Penguin pride!

[PenguinGuys]

I'll post most of the source within a few hours. And probably update it more later tonight.
The part I'll post is logging in and character create/delete.
I'm to lazy to finish the xml library, so I'll just use one that's already made.

Yea this would be great for me, I go on a good few trips at times and this would be perfect to use when I have no internet connection.

So wouldn't this help hackers? They would play offline till they reached their target and then go online.

The lvl etc and exp wich recieved should be saved somewhere so wouldn't that easy to edit?

I already thought of that. I'm not saying one word about what I did to prevent that to anyone.

I'm working on an encryption as we speak.
Sorry it's taking so long, all of a sudden I'm getting some weird error from nChecksum on ZPostLogin, and this girl won't fking stop IM'ing me and let me work.

What if the Level and EXP are edited during gameplay, since they are stored in variables?

[iceman4154]

I like this idea but to be able to complete something like this it will take time. Also, I think you should use a portable mini database with a password...
As far as someone editing the value of variables or memory in run-time that would be up to the person hosting the server to buy or make an anti-hack. :smile:

Exactly.

[illxmike]

What if they will abuse the offline and online status by flooding it?

[KillerStefan]

@cerealnp, their's 100's of ways to detect memory editing.
@illxmike, what?

Closed source from now on. Don't want people to figure out the checks I added. Will be released through KillerStefan when done.

Had to post this for PenguinGuy.

can't get the process handle without Openprocess, hook zwOpenProcess in r0.
ppl also use keStackAttach();
LdrLoadDll in r0 an use PsGetCurrentProcess();

tata ladies

[killerzx]

this is one epic idea, lots of cons xD

Yea no. That doesn't stop CE one bit.

[Guy]

Yea no. That doesn't stop CE one bit.

..and LdrLoadDll is a user mode function, not a kernel mode.
